I was specifically saying rubbish to the no honour in ANY defeat, which is complete tosh and, as I later expained, not taking the bigger picture in to account. 2 years ago we got stuffed 3-0 by Portsmouth in the 3rd round Last year we got all excited and then lost to Derby (2-1 I think, but it should have been 3 or 4 if memory serves me right) Both games we pretty much rolled over and the reality check that we were an average 3rd div team kicked in. This season, we've comfortably got to here and then given a team that started with FIVE regular Premier players, and 3 regularly on the bench in PL games (so this 'Reserve' team tag is actually bollocks) a damn good run for their money and probably deserved something out of the game ... Honour in defeat in my eyes. "Play fought with us for a while before FLOORING us" ???? Utter tosh. Some of the passing from us was definitely that of a decent Championship level team, hope surely for what we are really aiming at this season? I'd hardly call 1 goal and throwing on one of your best, international, players at the end to help shore it up (As well as another PL regular) a flooring!
