I was hoping we'd emulate the West Brom side of 1931, still the only team to
have won the FA Cup and been promoted in the same season.
But seriously folks, it would have been nice to have avoided the embarrassment
of losing to Sutton, before going out to a proper team in the 5th round.
Although I do have a reason to be thankful we lost. I'd already committed
myself to being in East Anglia on the weekend of Feb 18th, and the league game
at Ipswich will now take place on that day.

Eh sorry but bollocks. A cup run and doing well in the league are not mutually
exclusive. It is only another 4/5 games in the season for ffs. In fact I think
a good cup run would be a morale booster.

We lost to Histon a few years ago. Sutton's loss today is not in the same
league, pun intended! Big deal. Big bloody deal. I felt much more pain
losing at home to PNE in the league a few years back 6-4, after being 4-1
up, together with many more utter debacles in this league over the last
dozen+ years than *any* of our last 20 years' cup exits...
I've gotten only one "haha" text, from a Scum fan and that was only in jest.
I can take that. What real embarrassment? No one else cares about The FA
Cup nowadays, so why should we! Sutton, FFS!
If we go up at the end of the season, no one give a second thought to what
happened today. What would people really prefer: a run to the semi-finals
(we have not been past the 6th round in many seasons) and come 7th, or go
out now and pretty much guarantee a play-off spot. I know which I would
much prefer! Would seem to be that Monk and the owners are of the same
opinion.
The crying and whinging that is taking place on the list tonight is a tad
embarrassing. Grow a pair, boys and girl(s)!
