***fa cup whu v pep's city official match thread***

[Nigels Tackle]

friday night at the london stadium - should be interesting.... any others on here going?
presume willy will be in goal and that a couple of youngsters will get a run out for this one.

[City64]

Cant you even do fucking capital letters now NT ??? wtf is going on with you lately ???

[sheblue]

Very interesting to see how seriously pep is going to take the fa cup. He didnt give two hoots about the milk cup. Can see this turning out the same.

[South Stand Balti]

Dhino will miss this and the replay if it's a draw. I'm hoping for a replay to help him get back for league games quicker. Put our best side out inc Willy. This is our best chance to win something.

[Wonderwall]

Would love to go but that thing called work is stopping me.

[South Stand Balti]

No Fern 2 on the bench against Burnley. Hoping he's not injured with Fern 1 out

[phips]

Willy, Garcia, Zaba, Aleks, Navas, Nolito, Nacho, Stones, + 3 others

Well the FA have overturned the red card for Feghouli . No surprise really, he's now available for ?

Four game ban for Fernandinho. Amazed they didnt increase it

[london blue 2]

That was quick. Almost like they want him to be prepared for Friday.

But it wasnt a red....
Pretty sure he'll be off to AFCON anyways and wont be in their squad on Friday. Unless hes leaving after

[Saul Goodman]

Apparently Pep isnt going to rotate for West Ham.
The only thing maybe then will be Garcia in for Fern if Fernando is injured

[Justified logic]

I'm somewhere between apprehension and trepidation approaching this fixture. Might bung a few quid on Wet Spam for the joy of losing it.

The "no rotation" worries me a bit as we will be without Dinho. We going with 10 from the start? (Could be a new tactic!)

Hope Garcia gets decent game time. If not, one questions whether he should bother staying around.

[nottsblue]

I imagine it will be a pretty strong side. Pep is no fool and he will no doubt be aware his predecessor won three pots in three years. He will want to win a pot as well, if not two and a cup is a decent chance of it.

He takes the main cup competitions seriously, so I'm expecting a strong line-up tonight. I must say, I can't really be arsed with this competition after the BBC stitch-up of Pellegrini last season.

It doesn't matter to the FA what happens to West Ham. The sending off served it's purpose, 3 points to their mates at the rags.
It's a bit worrying really, as it seems they can get away with anything they want, send people off for imaginary red card offences, then just rescind them after the damage is done.

[budfox]

We've got this one in the bag I reckon. Flat back ten, park the transit and hit 'em on the break, during the break.

[dazby]

One kid in the starting line up please.
