It's the magic of the cup! A chance for a sniff of glory; a few wins and who knows what will happen? It amazes that me that people put a league game, any league game, above a big cup one, but I know I'm in a tiny minority on this.It's one of the top days of my life! We were bottom, they were top and Champions of Europe. We sang "sign on, sign on, with a pen in your hand, coz you'll never work again". I had to be lifted by my grandad over the fence into the Liverpool seats as our little corner terrace was so packed you couldn't move.
Phil Neal missing a kop end pen near the end too...

Because we're 125-1 to win the cup - ie, it's not going to happen, so even if we beat Liverpool it will just be a good day, but mean nothing in the end. Whereas we're 3-1 to get promoted, so a real possibility. Given the choice of one win and one loss against liverpool and palace, I know which I'd rather win. We beat Man City in the cup a few years back, a great day, but honestly - so what. We want to fight for promotion.It's the magic of the cup!

Ha brilliant, I hope this gets going on Wednesday night
Are you KIDDING me?
You do realise this is their equivalent of "Does your boyfriend know you're here?". Inevitably there will be a few chimps who think it's STILL hilarious to get it started, approximately thirty YEARS after it was first sung (and at every game since no doubt) but it would be nice-if fanciful- to think we could actually come up with something less tediously unoriginal for the occasion.
