Let’s not kid ourselves as brilliant as we were yesterday, and we were magnificent, Wolves would beat us most weeks. We have seen that with how the promoted teams have coped this season.

Wolves didn’t have their first 4 first team attackers …. This was a big part of why they looked so toothless

Yet even with injuries they’re still a top half PL side. Play that tie 10 times and we lose most of them sure, but that’s the beauty of cup football.

They put in a really complacent performance, goalkeeper aside. It should give people belief though that if we ever make it up that talk of threatening Derby’s record is insane. Even these piss poor Sheff Utd and Burnley teams will get at least double that total this season.

We’d be in a relegation battle sure, but like Luton we’d be making a fist of it.

Both Man Utd and Chelsea are very inconsistent. We could get twatted or equally spring an upset.

Liverpool hunting silverware for Klopp’s farewell, no chance
Guardiola wanting silverware because his side are struggling to defend the league title, no chance

Agree with all of that - off at a tangent, it was the first time I've heard MR say that as well as a Cup run, he'd been tasked with getting us to the play offs 3 times in 5 years (sure I heard him say that) which sounded a strange thing to publicise. It also sounds a bit 'pressured'. I was wondering if there was any correlation between that and the length of the stadium contract with Ashley? Don't wat to go down that rabbit hole on such a glorious weekend, but just had me wondering.

With a high transfer spend comes higher expectation, but I doubt that if he ‘only’ made two top 6 finishes that he’d be out the door.

It’s not helpful of King to say that I agree. Interesting that King also said after the game that he was trying to give MR all the tools he needs to get promoted which is a bit at odds with how the January window panned out.

It was more that MR said it. I can understand that most owners etc sit down with the manager and discuss targets/expectations for the upcoming season(s), I was just interested that MR mentioned it alongside the FA Cup run (which he had mentioned before) , particularly with the 3 times in 5 years. I suppose it has little context in terms of how conversational those targets were discussed (a chat/a demand etc). MR doesn't seem to have an axe to grind, and I can't believe that DK dare consider ousting the real 'king' but i found it interesting nonetheless.

On the subject of man of the match - to be fair to MC Moist he was asked about 5 mins before full time and mentioned Bobby Thomas and Sheaf - but also said there’s time to go - he gave it to Ait Nourri who was apart from the cheating Sa the only Wolves player in the game - each time he got it we were under pressure !

I don’t care who they had missing - that wolves team was more valuable than ours and should be beating us.

I’m pissed off at the “we have a small squad with players missing”

we were brilliant and had to be to beat that side. We had a 10 minute spell where the prem quality showed. They only got back into it becuase we were all over the place and they were clinical.

Over the 100 minutes we wanted it more and outclassed them for the 90 other mins

Very few journalists/pundits/bookies do any research outside of the top flight teams. So when they try to sound all knowledgeable about us just come across as thick twats.

He came off at 0-0 tbh 11 mins , they won 2-1.

I think GON should just give us credit for outplaying his team for large parts

Still buzzing this morning. Finding it very funny that the only semi Gary O’Neil got was from Joleon Lescott and the fawning ITV coverage.

If he was half as good of a manager as the footballing press says he is he’d have properly planned for the game and not made a bad assumption about our formation with no plan B and then spent 20 minutes doodling on his iPad trying to work it out before his goalkeeper bought him a few minutes with the players.

He’d have reacted to the absolute pummelling their goal got throughout the game and he’d have shut the game down at 2-1 like a proper football team should. I’ve never given a shit about Wolves and find their fans to be a pretty level headed bunch overall but seeing him lose yesterday was very pleasing - their anonymous Chinese betting company sponsors and their dodgy Portuguese super agent connections must be gutted this morning.

I like Gary O'Neill, but this quote stinks of sour grapes:

"Coventry were able to capitalise on the fact they played us on a day when we were miles below our best with loads of players missing, and we weren’t able to get it done"
Click to expand...
Maybe our quote should be " Wolves were able to play us after Hamer got injured in the semi final and effectively cost us the game, if we had won we would have had more players to have chosen from and our manager wouldn't have been able to inspire his team to outplay you and gloat at your ballboy wasting time" or maybe Gary Oexcuse could have been humble and said well done to Coventry who on the day thoroughly deserved to beat us !!! prize twat

Even my mate who supports that other lowly Manchester team and worked at Peugeot and said he disliked our mighty team because it was rammed down his throat for all those years said what a fantastic game of football it was and the mighty Coventry City FC deserved to win, but he did follow it up saying Wolves were shit... I told him we made them look shit

I absolutely love this. If you want the Aguero moment then JP captures it perfectly at the end. He’s out of breath as the final attack starts and then HAJI WRIIIIIIGHT!!

This is why we support City. This is why I hate seeing Premier League sofa-supporting fake-fans of Manure, Chelsea, Liverpool etc. You only feel the real adrenaline hit if you’ve been through the shit we have. I mean, imagine Liverpool being told they have to play at Prenton Park for a season. It would be a national disgrace! Yet we just had to suck it up! Now, we finally reap our rewards.

I love this club and Robins has made this all possible.
