[Albion] Season-defining week (and a bit)?

[peterward]

Pretty sure a fair few referred to the Fulham game as pretty "defining".

Obviously the cup is win or bust, but results in the other two won't define our season, IMO. Fully expecting a turgid 1-1 against THEM, as much as all logic suggests otherwise.

Ofc but quite frankly, and with full respect to Grimsby, if we can't beat a team mid table in league 2 at the Amex, we don't deserve to go to Wembley and fair play to them.

It would be embarrassing more than disappointment.

They'll be parking the bus for sure.

You'll be disappointed with that reply.

Yeah well the boy was put under pressure early doors and his inexperience showed.

I am conscious I need to re-calibrate my longstanding Albion expectations ....... and this could be a brilliant week, and why not ? I mean. We're good!

But hold fire DKM. It’s only Friday……don’t recalibrate till 5.00 Saturday

- Away to one of the biggest clubs in world football.

- Home against them lot, and rarely has it felt like we are so well-equipped to give them the absolute thrashing they clearly deserve.

- An FA Cup quarter-final, only the fifth in our history, with an incredible chance to progress to a Wembley semi.

What could possibly go wrong?

‘Away to one of the biggest clubs in world football’ you say. But only in thier eyes! Until early 1960s they were an average 2nd division team going nowhere. Don Revie transformed them and they had success for a decade or so. Then crashed and burned. I have never had a good, safe experience at Elland Road so wont go again. If they get relegated I for one wont shed a tear.

Bit more respect please, they are the Champions of Europe and we should be humbled to be playing in the presence of footballing gods this weekend. Forget about Grimsby, winning the FA Cup, possibly qualifying for the Champions League, Leeds away is everyones cup final.

Anything less than 9 points should be viewed as failure.

Don't ! -- it still hurts.

Got to say that the Grimsby result this week coming is the biggest for me. Lovely to do well against Leeds and Palace but not sure European football (other than Champs League) appeals - however getting to Wembley and the potential of winning a major trophy does.

Do you think anyone's told De Zerbi not to dance in the technical area if we score at Wembley?*


What am I thinking? He's got far too much class to even think about it.

*Hush my mouth: IF we get there.

 

[Swansman]

Lets hope not...

 

[Weststander]

Now you can all see why top 4 is nearly impossible for us. 38 banana skins, scum like Leeds treating our visit as a cup final.

 

[Winker]

Every time we seem to be on the cusp of a jump up the league, we feck it up.

I think the FA cup is our best hope of something big this season.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

That didn't go quite to plan.

4 points, including three from Palace and breezing into the Cup semi.

Nice little bonuses: Uncle Tony's Cheltenham winner and Palace sacking their manager.

I'll take that...
