    The FA Cup

    I'll probably be alone in this but I want us to put out the strongest team available.

    Fuck the Premier League. If we go down it won't be because we put out a strong team at West Brom and we'll thoroughly deserve it if we do.

    I've seen us relegated before and I've seen us promoted back up and I'm sure I'll see both again (the former maybe sooner than I'd like!). BUT-I've never seen us win a Cup. And yes, I know that if we beat the Baggies we'll get howked 20 nil by Man City or someone similar in the quarter finals but football, if nothing else, is about hope and we've had precious little of that this last decade and more.

    I just want the chance to dream a little while longer because everything else about us is a bastard nightmare.


    And yes, it is green.

    I'm completely with you on this one. The cup is something special, it would be amazing to win it.

    Although in some sense I almost don't want us to win a trophy under Ashley, just so he can't "have that" if you know what I mean.

    I know we won the Fizzy twice, but who really cares...

    WBA are favourites for this one - the quality at the top of the fizzy is usually better than the bottom of the premier these days. They're at home, they're on form , we are sh*t and we can't score.

    Put out the strongest side yes, give it a go and as zip said keep our last shred of hope for the season alive.

    Wigan just went there and beat their first team and Billic has said he will play a number of back up players on tuesday so on paper we should win, Problem is we are useless in attack we cant score goals and Bruce will wheel out the same attack yet again.Allan and Sorensen certainly need to be involved they are both young and keen and Muto to although he isnt a regular scorer he has pace and good feet which is more then Gayle and Joelinton offer. whatever happens it will be a very interesting watch on tuesday.
