WBA in the whatever its called cup

Post by Chippy »

First of 2 in short succession. Should win comfortably but who knows with this team?

Bendtner with two and Ryo to make it 3-0.
A man will stand in the corner after Nic's second, with a contract and a pen to be signed during celebration.
:barscarf:

No, seriously we should win this.
This surely has to be a day for Viviano debut.

I can see us putting out a near scratch side - with one or two supplemented who need games - Monreal, Arteta, TV but I would expect us to get beaten.

baggies put out a strong side then I would expect to be beaten , but good chance for a few fringe players and vermaelan to get good game time.

Could do with giving a rest to Giroud for this so come on down Barry Bender the price is right. Should see starts for the likes of Monreal, Arteta, Vermaelen, Miachi, Gbarby, Jenks and Vivano. We will have to risk one of Kos or the BFG to partner Verm due to lack of options I suppose. The most interesting thing about this game will be the team sheet I fear.

Give it a go this year because by the time December comes, there's usually only shit teams like Bradford left in and we all know we could thrash them.

No way will Kos and Mert be within 200 miles of the Hawthorns.This is a rest the first 11 game.

One of the most important games of the season in my book

The King of Denmark has already had more than enough chances in this cup in the past so if Akpom's fit I'd play him up front (presumably the Postman is still injured after his last round?)

Who on earth will be playing at CB? Presumably TV5 is fit enough for a run out now but who will partner him? He can afford to play Nacho and Jenkinson at full backs.

Hopefully he'll play Viviano too as that other useless wanker has thrown this competition away more times than I care to remember

I'd play Jack in this match as he needs match time.

I think the exact opposite - he looks like a week off will do him the world of good. I'd be amazed if he plays against WBA - in fact, I'm certain he won't.
