Originally posted by taylors lovechild It'll be interesting to see how Viera approaches these games. In the cup games Roy seemed to send the team out without clear instruction other than to provide no entertainment, no shots, before eventually limping out like a dysfunctional pen1s. With current injuries it won't be easy, but Watford looked pretty awful against us last week. That said I have had the "pleasure" of seeing both Roy and Ollies displays against Bristol City away in this Cup and both were equally as bad. Pleased that Bristol City were knocked out as I don't think I could sit watching a PV team dish up the same. Suspect Big Team B XI will win this one. “ [T]here are known knowns; there are things we know that we know.There are known unknowns; that is to say there are things that, we now know we don't know.But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don't know. ” —United States Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld
