Relegation teams are afraid...

that we'll field a 'weakened' team on Saturday; the Friday gossip columns say that Birmingham and West Brom are 'pleading with the Hammers' not to do this against Portsmouth.
The fact is we have 3 games in 6 days, and clearly Pardew will have to make some changes to rest some of the starters. Hopefully, whatever 11 we put out will be good enough to beat Pompey!

The only thing we should do for Steve Bruce is beat him around the head with the business end of a 2x4. We shouldn't forget the way he conducted himself in May 2003.

Let fooking Birmingham play Monday then. No way we should be playing Monday after a Wednesday replay, but because TV controls the game, we are.

If West Brom and Birmingham have a problem with it then they should be appealing to the FA to have our Monday fixture moved. How can they expect us to sacrifice our FA Cup run to save them from relegation? It's not as if they would do it for us.

LOL.

Seeing as we have beaten Brum twice this season then, as long as they get relegated, their debt is paid IMO.
