Big game this one. Rivalry aside two teams evenly matched in the league. From our point of view this is a game that could really shoot us up the league with two games we should be pretty confident of winning in Barrow and Rochdale to come immediately afterwards.

The last few fixtues I have gone into this game without any hope of victory as Fax were so much stronger than ourselves, but have come away frustrated we haven't won as Fax have put in a sloppy performance and us even worse. Be interesting if both sides can out in good performances.

I feel we've always been beaten before we've set foot on the pitch as we've been mentally weak and haven't been able to handle Scott Murrell celebrating wildly over every knock-on. As I said on the Fev topic, I do believe we are mentally tough now and don't think that will effect us. Performances have been patchy to say the least, but we've been winning. Just like Fax, although it sounded like it clicked against London.

Fax will be favourites, home advantage and we've a short turn-around after an extra-time game. But if we could sneak a win it would be a massive 2 points.

Happy to leave it at that - thanks for your rebuttal - and FWIW I apologise for accusing your remarks of being "guff", which to be fair was slightly caustic.

And as the sun beamed through the sp clouds, the two noble bulls fans embraced. All was forgiven.

Shall I chirp in and p*** someone off again?


Nah seriously, it's nice to see a majority of Bulls fans finding more positives than negatives to talk about these days. Regardless of some not believing all is rosy, it's still a better position than the fans have been in for quite a few years now.

Oh come on Hamster,[i nothing[/i is ever [iall[/i rosy, life just ain't like that.

In fact, I can remember those heady days (imo) when we used to get posts about, "we ought to be beating Wiggin, Saints etc (ad infinitum) by far more than that". People [ireally[/i took 'being picky' to unusual heights back then..
