Might as well give my ticket back now...

We better get through - otherwise it's going to be a bit embarrassing for Budweiser!

Sam's just made a radio ad for the FA Cup - listen here:

My favourite part is how every one, every week picks Brian f***ing Montenegro without having a clue who the f*** he is!

Plays for our Development Squad mate think he's averaged a goal every 2 games, not bad for an 18 year old in his first year in England. He also seems to get a lot of assists, don't know how much but in match reports his name is always mentioned.

They're gonna have to be picked or they won't get their chance. I think it's a good thing that our fans have faith in our youngsters and are up to date with how they're progressing in the squad.

This.
A lot of us have not seen him yet despite continuously reading good reports on him. It is natural we want to see him getting a chance. Recent performances of Potts and Nouble confirmed to us, that our youngsters should be considered and there is no reason to be too reluctant to give it to them. It must be said though that this must be done carefully and with sense and to place 7 youngsters in the FA Cup game may be contraproductive for the result as well as for themselves. I have full confidence in Big Sam, Anthony Carr and the whole managerial team though.

It does not change the fact, that I will still be looking forward to see more youngsters getting their chance and wish for more of their debuts in comming weeks.

Smonnie, what happened to poor old Diop? You had him 3 times in your first team, now he's not playing at all.

Dressing room unrest? :lol:

[bubbles1966]

Subs: Stech/boffin: Faubert: Potts: Piquionne: Carew: Diop: Monetnegrotano

Rest Green, Tomkins, Cole, Noble and Nolan. Save them for the Final.

Dressing room unrest?

We've got no chance without the Diop triplets :lol:

Just noticed he's sneaked Carew in at Centre back too!

[thejackhammer]

Assuming Spence can and will be recalled, I'd want him to start, to see if he's capable, could save us buying another defender, meaning we'd have more to spend on a tricky winger/playmaker/goalscorer.

Dressing room unrest? :lol:

I was ridiculed for his inclusion, so I dropped him.

[Bamber Gascoigne]

Diop - the only player to be dropped 3 times.... from the same game :lol:

[Smonnie]

We've got no chance without the Diop triplets :lol:

Carew was always deputising at centre half back at Villa.

[Bamber Gascoigne]

Comedy gold -- not sure whats funnier, this or watching Fergie wasp sucking :raver:

[Smonnie]

Well I toyed with putting Faubert there but I decided he didn't have enough pace.

[Bamber Gascoigne]

Wise decision

[hammer2192]

Is there anyone else who would rather not play this game? Were 66/1 to win the cup on Coral.

[-DL-]

Rest as many first teamers as possible and play as many injury returning players as possible with youngsters.

b*llocks to all this resting people. It's the FA Cup for christ sakes, strongest 11 and go out there to win the ****ing thing, not just make up the numbers.

We never won it in 80 by resting players, so why all this **** now?

COYI!
