Nasri’s injury could prove very costly

THE oldest knockout tournament on the planet continues to retain magic aplenty.

Following Saturday’s FA Cup shocks, the Terriers’ fans were straining at the leash as they traversed the South Bridge to our impressive gaff in buoyant mood, many having apparently travelled down the night before, for a criminally early KO on a Sunday.

After dominating Huddersfield for 20 minutes, when the Gunners finally broke the deadlock, I thought that we might for once be able to sit-back and enjoy some stress-free football. I assumed that the fact the Terriers could no longer afford to merely sit back and attempt to stifle our passing game, would guarantee us some rip roaring entertainment, as we began to exploit the resulting space and strolled into the next round.
