F A Cup Team v Stockport

[eritheagle]

Portsmouth won the FA cup and got relegated a few weeks later. It sums up how i feel about these cup competitions. a loadaBollix

i hope Everton go all the way to Wembley, extra time & penalties .....& lose. Then get relegated from having a tired broken squad.

For me, the Prem is everything. Clattenburg ruined the FA cup for me. I would only give the FA cup a serious go if my squad were between 9th and 14th in the Table....no risk of relegation and no European glory to be chasing.

So today ? play the kids plus Kamada & Nketiah......for a bit of a run out. See if the latter two can find some form. And the outcome of the match is kinda irrelevant.

Wigan won in 2013 and went down 4 days later!

So, as expected, Turner, Kamada & Nketiah are in with Clyne on the left & Riad starting his 1st game.

of course we can thump teams from the lower leagues. But is it worth it ? 'injuries & fatigue' scare me for our Prem survival.

100%, we will be relegated at some point and we will be promoted back to the prem at some point, that's our level, anywhere between 10th to 40th in league standings. Winning a major trophy would mean so much more than another season finishing 15th in the top flight. Stockport away, Hillsborough, puncheon in the cup final, Wickham in the semis, zaha in the play offs away to brighton, hopkins looking to curl one in, ambrose away at utd, shipperley vs west ham, pardew at villa park. Most fans best memories are from individual matches that mean something. Who cares about some random season finishing in the bottom half of the prem.

Said this before. Never going to win the league in my lifetime so a cup will complete my want. After that it will be the hope of the league though tbh 😂

Have a look at the cup winners for the last 15 years. Not winning the cup - that’s our level. I’d take premier league status any day and doing the best we can to preserve it.
