[Albion] Stuffed by Forest in order to beat Chelsea in the Cup

[Bozza]

If someone had said "You can beat Chelsea in the Cup, but only if you lose 7-0 to Forest in the League first", would you have taken it?

Is this a pre-cursor to the

"Would you take losing to Chelsea in the league if it meant beating Chelsea in the Cup" poll, or have I missed that one already?

 

[Mustafa II]

No.

The hit to GD could prove very costly come the end of the season.

 

[oldboyroy]

With hindsight..........yes, but only if we kick on in the league too!

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Could we haggle, you know Forest win 5-0 and we beat Chelsea after extra time?

Don't worry if you missed it, he'll post another.

Beating Chelski is great, because they are such a scummy club, but 7-0! I can't believe any of you think that's a fair trade. Must be denial.

 

[Biscuit]

7-0 is one of the most embarrassing results in our history. Almost nothing is worth that humiliation, surely?

 

[Justice]

I would suffer the 7-0 all day to see Dunk lift the FA cup

 

[carlzeiss]

It is what it is . You are only as good as you're last game/result etc

 

[Freddo]

No. I’d trade losing 7-0 for actually winning the FA Cup though

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Yep - because we now have a blueprint for beating them in the league a week later

Someone said the Forest defeat could be costly.

At the moment we don’t know if yesterday’s result could be part of the biggest thing in 125 years (it probably won’t be, but I’m sure you see my point)

In answer to the question, personally I’m ok with how the last seven days has unfolded

7-0 is one of the most embarrassing results in our history. Almost nothing is worth that humiliation, surely?

It was a bit of a nightmare, but I doubt very much anyone other than us or Forest fans will remember it for long. We smashed Wolves 6-0 a couple of seasons ago and I don't have images from that game framed on my wall. Bournemouth got battered 9-0 by Liverpool: I doubt they even think about it now.

The only ones who might have lingering trauma are Southampton, who have twice conceded nine in a game in recent seasons. They must be quivering at the prospect every time the opposition get to, say, five.

Luckily for them, they have us in a couple of weeks, so they can rest easy.

He didn’t ask that though did he

 

[Chicken Run]

No. I’d trade losing 7-0 for actually winning the FA Cup though

Yep that’s fair

 

[maffew]

Definitely trade, all day long. I can't see the goal difference (hopefully) making a difference this season.
2 nil, 5 nil, 7 nil, bottom line doesn't matter. It's a freak result and they happen all over, 0 points gained irrespective, move on

Had it been palace, that's a different question
Putting Chelsea back in line after their shenanigans is a sweet trade off

 

[Triggaaar]

Did we win the FA cup yesterday?

Have you got access to my NSC post calendar for the week ahead?

Whilst that's true, I imagine even fewer people will remember us beating Chelski in the cup. 7-0 isn't the biggest league defeat in recent times, but it's our biggest, and not worth it for a cup win over that scummy London club.
