Bradford beat Villa over 2 legs, held a near full strength Arsenal team for 2 hours, and held Wigan just the same. For a bottom tier side to do that is outstanding and can't be done with luck alone.

For FA Cup, they'd have to hold them 210m+ before it went to penalties for Wigan and Arsenal. As for Villa, they are on horrid form (still should beat them like), in fact, they should've scored 2-3 more than they did.

Fair play to them, it's a real great achievement and I genuinely hope they win it now, but lets face it, they were lucky really.

Yeah they probably didn't play as well as we did against arsenal. That's why they didn't lose 6 - 1

I doubt we would've lost 6-1 had we been at home, but they obviously played very well and got lucky.

I never said it was 100% luck, but they got lucky because when it goes to pens, any class is essentially neutralised.

They drew with them over 90 minutes. That's not just luck I'm afraid.

Does a draw get you to the next round?

You're far more excited at the prospect of ACL giving us a good battering and going into administration.

Personally, i am really excited about the JPT.

Might get slated for this, but.... does anyone else not give a monkey's about the JPT??

For the last few days the Crewe game has dominated this board - I see the whole competition as a tinpot cup which, even last season, never crossed our minds.

I am far more excited about our promotion prospects. If I come across a Wembley ticket (if we get there), I would go to the JPT final, but I just can't get excited about it at all.

Anyone else here feel the same way?

By "us" I presume you mean SISU, rather than CCFC. Yes, I want ACL to use the rent to force SISU out of the club - it will be for the good of CCFC in the long run. How anyone can support SISU is beyond me.

We are not a league 1 club. We are a league 1 team. That's the difference that makes some people consider this JPT trophy of less interest.

I'll swing from the rafters with everyone else and get excited about a wembley final again after years of dearth but come on we have to aim for better as a club surely? It's a start and confidence builder and all and some of our players will never see the higher leagues so for them it's a big deal.

But it can not be denied a club the size of us getting so excited about this trophy shows how far we have fallen and the main aim must be the league and getting this great club back to where it belongs. After 34 unbroken years in the top flight many of us older heads will remain dissillusioned with much that goes on in the lower league fight.

its a confidence factor! if we get to the final its makes the players more hungry to play the bread and butter games which helps the drive for a playoff which we have distinct squeek at but it will be on the finest off margins

Tbh I don't think this team is quite ready for promotion this season. Promotion is key of course and it would be a great thing. If it doesn't happen I think next season we will storm this league with robins in charge. There is no harm in getting excited about a wembley trip. We fans throughouly deserve some type of success. I'd rather go to wembley than be disappointed twice

He means heresy..

'Heresy is any belief or theory that is strongly at variance with established beliefs or customs. '



He is therefore saying he is committing heresy as he is going against the grain of collected opinion.

Thanks for this. Individuals only really comment on peoples lack of grammar when they have no reply, so really he only pulled me up on my grammar because he had no comeback, fact.
