Out of respect for Scott's privacy I'm not sharing it now, but if he'd like me to share it -  to expose Keyser Soze as a fake LinkedIn making obsessive - then I'm more than happy to.  What do you say?

Agreed. Our best chance to win a trophy in years.

It's not even just a "best chance". It's pretty much a guaranteed FA Cup win. Must feel good after all this time.

I'm not counting chickens yet.   

We're huge favourites but I wouldn't be at all surprised if we did something to fuck it up.

There's no way in hell that you'll lose to Wigan or Hull/Sheffield United. It would be a fuck-up of catastrophic proportions, if you did managed to fuck it up

I hope not, but Man City were more or less in a similar position today with Wigan - and then they lost.

I reckon that's the giant killing out of the way. Would be so shocked if they managed to do it twice.

I wouldn't be too disappointed but I know what you mean.

Yeah, I wouldn't be inconsolable or anything but looking at the League irrespective of the FA Cup it'd be a disappointment to finish 4th again even after leading for most of the season.

Yeah, the target should be 3rd as a minimum I think. It's a great opportunity this season with the absence of Man Utd and the changes at Man City and Chelsea. Liverpool and Tottenham are in that similar position with 4th place, a great opportunity. Saying that though Liverpool have exceeded all expectations so far.

I'm hoping Man City have a collapse or a least a little dip in form like past Carling Cup winners have had. That might open up the slim possibility of finishing 2nd which would be excellent combined with the FA Cup.
