FA Cup - priority?

So then next league game is 8 days away. The team looks wrecked at the moment.

We play Cheltenham in between, would you rest the first team for this?

I suppose we could put a few of them on the bench and only use them if need be?

For me personally its all about the league but I know some of you put winning the cup right up there.

Are Cheltenham not a League 2 team? I know you went out of the C5 Cup but if you can beat Rubin Kazan at home with the reserves then I'm sure a League 2 team will be a breeze.

"Im not 100% about rb i don't really want Walker to play"

Dont blame you, no Kaboul, Walker or Assou Ekotto, poor Cheltenham

It's pretty obvious A'rry will play a 2nd/3rd string however, if he did it in the channel 5 cup im sure he willdo it against a league 2 side at home.

Obviously Arry rests everyone.
And hopes Sandro and Parker and Gallas can recover in 8 days.
We're not interested in the FA Pot.
We want back in Europe.
And that means a top 4 position.
And if you're a Spurs believer, maybe a better finish than that!!!

Today's performance was not covered in Glory. Thank G. for Defoe.
Hope Arry has seen the light there!

Cheltenham are no pushovers. 2nd in the league with good form (W9,D2,L1 in last 12 league games).
Like us, league will be their priority but they will be well up for the game on Saturday.

Top 4 spot is the priority for Spurs this season, but I hope we have a good cup run too now we don't have to bother with the C5 cup on Thursday evenings.

'We're not interested in the FA Pot'
Really? So would you be happy to take the 8 FA cup wins off of our honours list as it's something 'we're not interested in'? We can't on the one hand laugh at Arsenal as they've not won anything for years, and then reject any chance we have of winning a trophy just so we can emulate exactly what Arsenal HAVE achieved since winning a trophy - i.e qualify for the 'Champion's' League.

This is an odd one really, we need to rest our 1st team players, especially with all the injury's yet the FA Cup is the last Cup competition we are in

Put the kids out.. if they cant beat Cheltenham, then they all need a good shoe-ing!!! :P

As always, the weakest possible strongest team should be fielded.
However, with the injury situation, it would be a good chance to give all 2nd string players (Rose, Niko etc) a full 90 min workout.
