“On paper” mate you’re a one man team ffs
----------------------------------------------------------------------

What does that make the renties? A no man team?

You're £140m German 'stars' aren't even scoring as many as Scott Mctomminay combined.

The state we’ve been in and we’re only 6 points behind Bruno FC

Sounds like you're pretty happy to be 'only' 6 points behind a one team then?

Don't get too excited. We haven't been amazing either.

In August I had us finishing 4th after your Russian gangster spent 260m.

I'd say we are doing better than expected so far.

Got a feeling someone's got quite an owner complex.

I pay loads of tax in my job and Boris doesn't work. He's rubbing it in that he gets his kids, house and life paid for by taxes from people like me who work.

With the worst title defence we’ve seen on the cards, what was the villa score again?

I’m sorry “Glazers_Out” that Don Abramovich absolutely sh’ts all over your owners and that you’re jealous of clubs who have owners that actually care.

Must suck balls to be an after thought behind a fecking handegg franchise.

Also “we haven’t been great”.... “we’re doing better than expected”

Which one is it mate? Just whichever one suits the pansy response you want to make in the moment?

Only Culer (aka Robb, RDD, etc)

On paper City should be the only team that might stand in our way imo
——————

In theory perhaps. But we’ve always got a bad result in us and certainly any PL team can knock us out.

We haven’t played particularly well that often, just been solid or efficient at times. We’re higher in the table than practically any United fan expected in October, admittedly in part because some other decent sides have stuttered. Both true and not mutually exclusive.

Celebrating consecutive quarterfinals this run probably consists of beating mostly lower league teams.

Hmm pretty sure we’ve had very few lower league teams.

too lazy to bother to check this, but happy to get in a dig anyway

I checked it cos I'm a nerd, and you've had 15 lower league teams and 6 PL clubs in rounds 3, 4 and 5 in the last 7 years

which is broadly what you would expect from a random draw though. in round 3 there are 19 PL opponents out of 63, so you have a 70% chance of not playing a PL team. round 4 probably a c. 50% chance of not playing a PL team.

amazing really, if it's that easy to do, that no one else has managed it in the last 140 odd years.

It's celebrating a record. Your team has never done it

You've drawn a lot more lower league teams than you would statistically expect, but if you agreed then what was your comment about me not checking it?

Fair enough but reaching a quarterfinal isn't success so it's not a record that's really worth anything. We'll have to settle for being record holders for FA cup wins

well, the clue that you hadn't bothered to check was in your use of the word "probably".

and i can't be bothered to slice and dice all the data, but just in the last 3 years i can see that the 5th round - ie the round before the QFs - has featured bournemouth, swansea, bristol city and barnsley (this year); portsmouth, sheff weds, reading, norwich, and derby (last year); and qpr, derby, wimbledon, millwall, newport, bristol city, doncaster, swansea, and brentford (the year before).

so i'm not sure that your "we've had it easier than you would expect" claim is true.

still, keep up the digs at clubs outperforming you, if it makes you feel better.
