If that was the logic, you'd presumably leave him in charge until they exit the Europa League even if they do get knocked out by Liverpool and Villa respectively.

There's no logic to it. Just a random observation to try and show some weird confidence that I think he'll sacked on Sunday after we beat them.

We really should have no excuses for fatigue in this one. Im not having that excuse if  we put in another wolves performance

Lets take this seriously  and try win. With the new additions why cant we go far in this competition?

I would imagine with the game being on Sunday that the players have probably had some time off this week as well. 

With no game until.the following weekend, we really should be firing on Sunday.

First FA cup game I've really looked forward to in a very long time.

No real reason to rest many players. Go at it full tilt.

I'd decided we weren't likely to go for it, and as it's on TV etc I'd watch at home.

Gutted I can't go now, and have promised one of the kids I'll take them to the cinema before it's on so won't get a chance.....

Obviously it depends on fitness, but my wild guess at a starting like up would be;

Martinez
Garcia
Konsa
Bogarde
Maatsen
Kamara
Tielemans
McGinn
Ramsey
Rogers
Malen

The ref is Anthony Taylor apparently. I'm sure he'll get a nice welcome.

Has anyone sang 'You're not fit to referee' prior to kick off before?

He's shocking. I mean, they're all shit but that guy is the worst.

Well, I have a general idea of what we’ll be talking about after the match. No VAR either, this should be fun.

How a man of such arrogance can be so inept is everything wrong with English referees and PGMOL.

Well i hope "Tayls" is given the treatment on Sunday from minute 1 to the end.

I would of hoped after the Newcastle debacle he would owe us one but he is such an arrogant twat it will probably go the other way
