grandspur, we didn't struggle though because we were so comfortable tonight bar that stupid last 10 minutes where we switched off. I'm not happy we switched off but the team that are the final clearly deserved it. If Kane had his shooting boots on today we wouldn't be having this argument as we could of easily won that by a big margin

Don just sees a result and says Wow!! "
Not at all. I look at the result and the fact that we are in a cup final as a postive. You look at it like it's a negative. I can see things are not perfect hence why i mentioned that in the article but Poch deserves credit and i can guarantee most will back me up on here on that one
don
facts are facts and yet again after being a goal up we let in two
Don
If League One was that difficult then a. They wouldn't be in League One. b. There would be more League One finalists, which there isn't.
Debate over petal.
grandspur, yes and it was pathetic defending but facts are we are through and we deserved to go through. We should of buried Sheffield united way before that and was well in control of the game. No excuse for those 10 mins but we come out as winners in the end as we made the final
don
All of us are happy at reaching a final but that does not mean we were impressive in the way we got there. Personally I dont think the players or Poch deserve credit so far we beat a lot lesser sides than us to get there

Yeh but Chicken why did Chelsea lose so heavily TO Bradford? Why did Mancity lose to Boro at home? these things happen and usually sides like that play their heart out like tonight. They had the crowd with them tonight and in my oinion bar that stupid 10 minute spell which nearly cost us we were well in control and fully deserved to go through
This season we have done this so many times that does not mean I am nto happy at the outcome.
We never deserved to win at Leicester in the prem does that mean I am nto happy we got the points? No of course it does not I am more than happy with the points but I was not happy with the way we played or the performance of the manager.
I am well happy with reaching a final today but I was far from happy when the players switched off and I thought Poch's substitutions were simply dreadful why should I give out any credit under those circumstances?

Because they virtually fielded a reserve side don thats why
Don,
I'll set you a challenge. Seeing as you think League One is the new La Liga, can you tell us how many League One teams have appeared in, or won, League Cup or FA Cup finals in the last 50 years?
Off you go sweetpea x
Spurs will beat Chelsea in the final. Chelsea lack of rotation and dodgy defence will see them collapse end of the season. And if Mourinho plays Cesc in midfield instead of number 10 then they will be wide open like they were on New years day. Hopefully Spurs manager plays Dembele and he can do another job on Cesc
I am well happy with reaching a final today but I was far from happy when the players switched off and I thought Poch's substitutions were simply dreadful why should I give out any credit under those circumstances"
because regardless of his mistakes which all managers make we are in a cup final which no manager has achieved at spurs since 2008. We are still in the hunt for a top 4 place and we are still in europe. Positives are there if you consider how many last minute winners we keep getting. Yes we have been lucky at times but after a while you begin to realise Pochettino and his methods are slowly taking shape because we are fitter than most teams
don
using your logic lets apply this to the chelsea CL victory.
Everybody screamed about how lucky they were but now you say that does not apply because at the end of the day they won the trophy. Did De Matteo deserve credit then for the luckiest CL run ever?
No he never it was luck and sorry but you cant have it all ways
Chicken, that has no relevance at all to this debate in a one off game. We all know league one opposition don;t win the cups. Chicken have you chekced sheffield uniteds cup record against higher league opposition in the last 10 years? I suggest you do......off you go sweetpea x
grandspur, that's a cup run. We are talking about last minute winners in the league and the cup under pochettino. No coincidence his methods are slowly taking shape
Don,
We should be smashing League One sides 3 or 4 nil home or away. I get there are shocks here and there but this doesn't mean it's acceptable .
Grow up and look at the bigger picture.
Ps bring on Wembley!!
chicken, semi final infront of packed noisy brammal lane is not easy as you think. Sheffield United have got a superb record against the top sides in the cups. Yes on paper we should be winning by a big margin but it's not always as easy as that. We controlled the game today and had a pathetic 10 min spell that nearly cost us but we should of had them dead and buried had Kane been a little better infront of goal today
Don .
Are you seriously suggesting Poch's tactics are to score last minute goals? So Kane missed 5 or 6 chances just so we could win it late?
Don't be a kn0.b all your life!!
We are still in the hunt for a top 4 place and we are still in europe
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Don
we are about as much in the hunt for a top 4 place as I am in line to date Angelina Jolie. Yes both things are possible but to be honest I think I stand more chance of that date than we stand of a top 4 place.
We are still in the europa but I can tell you now we wont win it.
I also see you highlight our ability to score late goals well why dont you alos mention our ability to conceed late goals as well?
Palace? Leicester? Sheffield Utd?
What would you like me to credit Poch with the defeat at Palace or getting us knocked out of the FA Cup by the bottom of the league side on our own patch when we were 1-0 up with 10 minutes to go?
Sorry and all that but IMO the jury is still well out on Poch and I dont see great improvements despite the fact that he has had 38 games to improve
Don .

Don't be a kn0.b all your life!!"
did i say that???? I just said our fitness levels are clearly higher than most hence why we keep scoring last minute winners. I swear you choose to ignore my points on purpose just to have an argument
I give Tottenham a shot for top 4 to be honest. Man Utd are garbage and I still think Southampton will drop off big time. It's wide open for Tottenham if they get some consistency
don
do Forest have a formidable record in cup games away from home then? No but we struggled.
How about Brighton are they big giant killers? No but we struggled at WHL.
Maybe Leicester are considered FA cup specialists but I dont think so.
This season we have probably seen 5 good performances out of 38 and IMO thats nothing to get excited about
larry holmes, personally i don't think we will get top 4 but we have as good of a chance as anybody
