I suspect the most exciting thing of the match will be that 'kick the ball onto the round thing on the half way line' thing they do at half time.

Such is the deflated state of the Cup.

I thought it was called miss the round thing with the ball by miles.

I'd pick...

Kalinic
Bree Chester Elphick Hutton
Whelan
Hourihane Lansbury (if fit)
El Ghazi Bolasie
Abraham (I refuse to believe the rumours and think getting him cuptied can't hurt)

And I want to win. Every game.

Play the under 23's and only those who need game time, such as Lansbury, Hogan, Jedinak and Davis.  We are not going to win the F.A. Cup and I don't fancy going to Liverpool or Man City in round four and getting a tonking!

Can I have your ticket for the final on May 18th?

We have half time on pitch entertainment? I thought the only activity on offer at half time is the ‘get a drink before the second half kicks off’ game

I think the round thingy is smaller than it used to be, bit like a wagon wheel from when I was a kid.
