HELLO BOYS

Until the Geordie Maradona tears you a new one!

Aged well

Point proven if anything.

Orient obviously didn't let them bully them.

Newcastle fans don’t seem to have taken too kindly to the Birmingham tactics and tackling .

Thought it was a decent game between 2 sides with similar budgets

Yep, as Wellens said afterwards we won most of the duels in the few periods City didn't have the ball, a few Man City fans thought we was too physical at times - I mean what do you expect? We're not going to roll over.

You have to win as many physical duels as possible, because nobody is going to out football a PL side outside the PL.

Exactly. Guardiola wanted you fanny about, get battered and then he'd come out after and patronise you by saying how you're really good and play the right way.

FFS we will never hear the end of this.

Must suck to be you.

Must suck to be you.

You'd be the same if Chester ever beat them.

I mean they deserved it, but totally shocking from Liverpool and disrespectful from Slot.

Plus if Forest have any sense they will have watched that and will play a few more first teamers on Tuesday.

Well you got a draw at Man U once .

I think they got one at Anfield too though .

We drew with Liverpool too, back in 2016. The Liverpool side that day was probably the equivalent of the one that played today. Difference was we were a league two side then.

We gave The Geordies a game thats all we wanted, was not sad one bit we exited the cup, we were out but not down.

Was more of a night to showcase us as a club, our trajectory being upward, think we did that, people impressed, great atmosphere a bit of a throwback, not seen in league one as we are never underdogs and there is no jeopardy where the players need us. But a moody horrible nasty atmosphere, proper blues,, was magnificent.

And ps,we've done the 'who' for subs for almost 25 years. Its nothing new.

 

[Super_horns]

Aww.

Exeter’s penalties not great but fantastic performance generally .

 

[denzel ecfc]

Awful way to go out but really proud of us tonight, we were great. Forcing Forest to bring on 'England's number 10' and Chris Wood to end up beating 10 men on penalties..and could have done with a replay, thanks FA you complete turds.
Haven't seen the sending off, annoying as Turns looks good and we will have to make do with Hartridge or worse the next few games.
Need to pick themselves up for the big game at Cambridge on Saturday.

 

[ForzaCounty]

You'll have made a good bit of dosh tonight I guess?

Would have made a lot more with a replay.
Or even from next season, when I believe the lower league side gets all the receipts if it goes to extra time.
Great timing from us as ever!

 

[Grumpy Grecian]

Ah well. The last L1 side bows out even after holding Premier League opponents at bay for all of 145 minutes (and with only 10 men for a full 55 of them).
Sorry folks.

Four really good efforts from the League One teams this round. Shame one of us didn’t pull off an upset.

Hopefully we won't be forgotten though.
The fifth round draw looks very meh.
It's possibly been the best cup round ever (and yes that includes the other lot beating Liverpool)

Christ, what time did it finish last night? Must have been close to 11pm.
