I am sorry - I just can't help it I am bloody angry.
Okay we have been well outplayed in the league but losing at home to Oldham in the FA Cup was really disgraceful!
I've just watched Wolves get through to the Quarter Finals and Brighton do the same yesterday . Later on today Crystal Palace take on Doncaster - rather than us . WTF ! With a bit of fight and decent team selection that should have been us. The fans needed this boost given the season we have had to endure and we went out to Oldham .

Disgraceful and unforgivable !

So angry !!!!!

Players just not interested and couldn't have given a toss

They are earning their £40K a week whatever

As I have always said on this forum.....don't confuse supporters' emotions with the players - they are just doing a job
(and not very well for some of them)

It's nothing to do with whether they earn 40k. Brighton and Wolves will also have well paid players. There is a deeper issue or set of issues.

Everything that happens on the field of play, is reflected by how well the club is run.

Gut wrenching isn't it and to rub salt into the cup wounds Dan Burn was in the Brighton back four.

It is what it is. If you're getting wound up over something so small, then your life is going well. Enjoy that instead.

The truth is they progress because they are better than us.

Goodness. Here we go again.

Totally agree.The last time we were promoted to the Premier League we reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup in our first season and we were a bit unfortunate not to have beaten Chelsea at Villa Park.

We could have been drawn away to one of the top teams and gone out in the third round but to have lost at home to a side from a lower league in the manner we did was unforgivable. With cup competitions there is always the chance that the draw may open up, as it has this season, so good luck to the likes of Brighton, Wolves and Palace for taking it seriously and professionally.

What annoys me more than anything is that our victory at Wembley last May really felt like the beginning of something when in fact we were witnessing the end of something.

Yes indeed, I also thought it was the end of the beginning, but it seems it was the beginning of the end.

Have you actually considered Brighton or Palace could actually do a Wigan and be relegated after reaching the Cup final?

As an aside from that, this is from the BBC report from that semi final...

"Ranieri then made one of his typically eccentric substitutions, removing Hasselbaink for the hate figure of Stamford Bridge fans Slavisa Jokanovic."
