I think they will lose against the teams in bold, and the others is a coin toss

[Craig_H]

I admire your courage and optimism but I will never ever ever again assume that we are going to win something after the 2 painful experiences of the Wimbledon FA cup final and losing the league in the last seconds of the last game against Arsenal.

I remember those 2 lows as clearly as I remember the the highs of the Istanbul final and beating Borussia Mönchengladbach in Rome.

We haven't won anything yet, the players still need to go out and put in a performance at Wembley.

Do you think we will beat Cardiff?

Or do you think we'll lose to them?

As an aside, haven't Cardiff been to the new Wembley before for playoffs and we've never been before?

And...?

[little dave hedgehog]

can i just moderate for a moment and say that who he thinks will win isn't the point?

the whole idea is not to be too confident of a positive result, and as kenny always preaches, to respect our opposition.

also, not to jinx our performance

carry on.

It's entirely the point - if he thinks we'll win, he agrees with me because that's effectively all i am saying - "We'll win".

The jinx thing is a load of baloney and as far as respecting the opposition, Kenny will make sure the players do that - what we post on here has zero effect on it.

[Red_Polo]

Stick your savings on it then. Or maybe you just think we're quite likely to win.

[Craig_H]

Crikey....

It's a prediction mate. I think we'll win. Do you think we'll lose?

[destinydude]

I think it won't be as easy as we all think it will be. I dread extra time and then them scoring a flukey

[RichC]

we should beat Cardiff but stranger things have happened over the years.

Anyone remember Wimbledon 88 or Palace in 89 after we'd dicked them 9-0 in the league only to go out to them in the Semi's of the cup?

[Craig_H]

Both of those were top flight opponents

Palace was in 1990 when they lost the final to the Scum on a replay after drawing 3-3.

I'd rather win either or both cups than finish 4th. The club exists to win trophies, end of.

Football has changed, we are nothing without CL football and if we don't get it it'll not only be harder to get back in, it'll also be harder to get the players to get back in. No CL= Failure.
