Think Guimarăes is injured again.

[Goldenballs]

From the Guardian "The BBC’s biggest audience in the third round was the peak of 3.1m who watched Aston Villa’s win over Tottenham, a game which attracted a three-minute reach of 6.5m".

Presumably most of them were watching to laugh at Spurs.

Think Guimarăes is injured again.

Aye, Miley being assessed also. Would be surprised if he risked either of them given they have a CL game 4 days after. Massive if they miss out, Mileys been one of their few bright sparks this past few weeks.

Edit: just spoke to a Toon mate of mine. The common consensus seems to be that Miley is likely out for the season.

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

Ramsey probably their other bright spark recently, he seems to be settling in.

Can’t decide whether to be pleased for him or not?!

Be pleased for him, he'll probably be back here playing in 18 months like Dougie.

Lewis Miley? The one who raked his studs down the back of Youri’s calf and Achilles meaning he’s out for 10 weeks.

[TheToffnar]

Aye, that one.

[LeeB]

Worryingly they shed themselves of their big donkeys the other night and looked better for it.

[TheToffnar]

Tbf Spurs where giving them that much space, any team would look fluid.

Will be watching from home for various reasons primarily related to a) my lack of planning and b) a desire not to be castrated.

Not sure how Emery will approach this, he has shown more favour towards the Cup in recent seasons despite being open about his priorities but this season has more of a challenge due to the injuries we have. He will mix it up for certain and given how poor the opposition have been of late should be confident of victory.

It will be a bruiser though, the aggression shown by multiple PL teams this season has been quite illuminating and made a difficult job even harder for officials who have hardly covered themselves in glory in trying to deal with it.

I'd still rather win the Cup than anything else but would want us to avoid injuries (difficult), red cards (relatively easy) and et and pens (who knows?).

1-0 in normal time please.
