    Not confident.They took Man Utd to penalties in League cup at Old Trafford this season.Seems excuses already are coming out of the club.Rochdale are 9/1 to win.Not saying I want that to happen but it looks a tasty price.

    There's a reason why the cup games are billed as giant killing potential.
    We've been on the end of a good few ourselves, as have just about all the top clubs.

    Am I confident we'll get through?
    I'm absolutely confident.
    I'm confident enough to predict we'll get to the quarter finals.

    I've said it previously and I'll stick by it.

    I think it'll be tough.

    I mean their manager is willing to change things around.

    I think we should go through but at this point, I wouldn't be completely surprised if we didn't.

    Complete waffle. No surprises why the posts are often so long.

    We bloody well should win (yeah, I know it doesn't always work like that)

    Fool me once, and all that but for most giant-killings, it's a one-off shot where they catch the big boys by surprise and usually on the underdog's patch. Having had a scare at their place, at the second time of asking-and at home- i would say that any Premier League club should win and should be shot with shit if they lose.

    Don't confuse what I've said with confidence that we'll win, though.

    Anything can happen in the cup. Sometimes at the expense of the 'bigger' teams. That's the beauty of it.

    I, like Zip, am not convinced at all that this will be a walk in the park for us. It won't be.
