Im doubtful of this after the last 2 games I have to say.
I just think the whole clubs focus is on the league. That team yesterday was definitely good enough to win easily but we saw a completely different game to what we expected. Same in the last game v Watford. Dull as dishwater.
I have no real complaints as the league is very important but we should be competing at the top level in both competitions. OK we had a few knocks yesterday but the game was very similar to the previous cup game where we just looked a bit lethargic throughout.
No doubt we'll be back to our best for the next league game , and hopefully we will up our game as the cup games progress but Im doubtful we will win it now. Thoughts?

Scribe -"Judgements are rarely objective&...
Harry will want the FA cup without doubt but does not want to over commit players in matches with lower league teams in case of injury
That smacks of arrogance n Harrys part then in my opinion. The team that thinks it can win a trophy by fielding understrength teams, are the teams that invariably meet their premature end.
Arsenal looking at that yesterday would be thinking we my have a chance after all now. If you really want to be considered the best you have to go for the jugular in EVERY match, not just pick and choose games.

Tomkins - you are right Sunderland have a very good chance, MON is a quality coach and I can see them going all the way.
As for us I think we'll beat Stevenage with ease, Bolton shouldn't cause us many problems at WHL either...

Liverpool to be knocked out in semis, probably by spurs

I fancy Leicester and Liverpool to do well as the former has a good pedigree in the cup competitions. I don't think our scoring is fluid enough to win the cup messiah.

I think we could win it if we took it serious Wongs But I think we are going all out for 3rd and maybe theyre right to do that. Couldve done without the extra game now and if its in between 2 premier league games then we'll prob only play a weakened team anyhow.

the messiaharry talking in riddles since 1986

Exactly, I really cannot understand how playing a weakened team and then having to play another game because they coudl not get the job done really benefits any team. As near full strength as possible yesterday would have done the job, and then the players could have as much rest as they liked between Prem games. It`s hardly rocket science.

Yes. If the PL Spurs turn up.
Still think we will have to beat one of Chelsky or the Poool to reach Wembley.
