A real opportunity to make the semis at least.
You know, if we'd beaten the worst team in the 3rd tier ;weep
FA Cup drama eh? You can't beat it.
Look whose left! With the exception of 3 clubs it’s game on, and two of those we got results against recently
I’m still massively annoyed at the performance/result and that side should been easily good enough against a team that hadn’t won since Boxing Day
What I have seen is some people making the quite reasonable point that getting through wouldn't guarantee anything.
Well, yes.
But 'being in it' doesn't mean you will.
So I'm not sure we're much further forward.
Grey - even mentioning that “well we wouldn’t win it anyway”
Why bother then, let’s pack up and go home now, I mean what’s the point?
And nearly every pundit who's discussed it agrees ....
I rather think it was to counter what seemed to be an attitude of 'We'd have won it if we'd beaten Wimbledon', and now our season is over.
If people think our season ends when we are knocked out of the cups, then most seasons they are going to end around Jan/Feb.

Well, there are lots of reasons, actually, so not sure why you can't understand.
It feels like some people are equating this with a lack of ambition, or indifference, which I don't think it is.
The first allows the possibility, but says on balance we won't, the other negates the possibility.
In the 28 finals since the start of the PL era, 3 teams outside what are considered the top 6 have won the cup.
So, was it possible for us to win it? Yes. Did I think it would happen? On balance, no.
I will be surprised if one of Citeh, Man U or Chelsea don't win it, and that wouldn't have changed if we had got through.
I shall leave them to explain... (or not)
It doesn't matter if the statistics are against you, the statistics were against Wimbledon and they beat us.
No reason that we can't beat a top 6 team in 1 game or final.
The FA Cup and League Cup are the most likely pieces of Silverware we could win. We were in a position in the league that allowed us to go for it and we straight up bottled it.
Who knows, but I’d of been a lot happier if we’d of been in that draw with a chance to beat the likes of city, MUFC and the no history lot.....
I’ve always been one that has argued about the season being over type mentality, but for the first time in a very long while I’m actually beginning to think that!! I will come
out of it, but this result has really made me
Angry, and with nearly every player that took to that pitch, and just a tiny bit for a manager who was massively let down, I really hope he gives it to them training
As for Arnie, can’t even go there right now
Whatever else people may be agreeing on or not, I don't imagine anyone doesn't think that the performance against Wimbledon was a disgrace.
