I know it's way too early and all that crap, however, you may want to pre-book your hotel if that's what you do as the royal wedding is on the same day as the final. Stupid twats, travel chaos ensues and accommodation costs treble

Barmy fuckers. Just so they don't have to grant an extra bank holiday.

The pessimist in me says we won't be focussing at all on the FA Cup (nor the league cup) so it will be a big big ask for us to get there. Guaranteed weak teams to be expected. Doesn't mean we can't beat the likes of Leicester and Burnley but I would expect them to field full strength sides.

The beauty of the gap we have opened up is that we can possibly rest and rotate in the league games whereas in the unseemly fight for the top four the others might not be able to. This might allow us to prioritise in the cup if a tricky fixture comes along.

I wouldn't want to procreate with either of those two parties Mase.

The thought of proliferation of such is just too awful to contemplate.

Whilst that is an option i think pep will continue to prioritise the league and play very strong teams even if the gap remains constant. This is the one he wants and he wants to do it in style.

The fa cup has lost some of its prestige. Dont get me wrong its still a big competition but look at last season when arsenal won it for some perspective Arsenal fans still talking about how long its been since they won the league the fa cup barely registered with them.

I think we will be more likely to rotate for latter stages of champs league games than fa cup.
