[Albion] Brentford or Leicester?

[zefarelly]

Brentford obvs. Just becasue it'll be interesting to see how their strikers play, and how Maupay does as well. Assuming he's in the squad.

On the day no doubt I will be urging the Albion to win, but really , this season how much of a cup run do we want?
The memories of '83 still linger when we had a cup final but were relegated and plunged downwards for years.
If we were comfortable in the league then fine, we could go for glory in the Cup but since we are battling for every league point we can muster I would rathe lose to a top 6 side like Leicester and save our energy for the league.

Does anyone really want to win the FA Cup in an empty stadium?

On a personal note, even if fans were allowed to be present at Wembley, the government here would not let me leave the country. Would rather we stayed up and won the silver jug another time.

Simple question - who do you want? May seem a no brainer but fans would miss the first game at Brentford's new stadium, they would be up for it given the history of the chairmen and Leicester will be without Vardy with bigger fish to fry.

You think Brentford's playing squad will give a damn about an old business feud between the clubs' respective chairmen? Really?

Definitely would like to win the FAC and genuinely think we could, despite our collective banjos being unable to hit a bovines derrière.

Beating Leicester will be more satisfying than beating Brentford.

Not really bothered. Both will smash this pathetic side.

For me it is about the fans, the day, the event.

No fans equals no event for me.

Just like we did earlier this season?

Just like we did last season.

Given that Bloom famously gave a speech/incentives to the players before a game a few years ago, it is a possibility.

We get the same amount of money from FA whoever we beat

Me personally, I would LOVE another Wembley away day. Two years ago was a good day, the result notwithstanding. Although I was so hammered, I was seeing 44 players, 2 refs, had to watch the game with one hand over an eye to try and focus and was so drunk that I had no idea just how well Anthony K actually played

But as no fans will going to Wembley this season, I would sack off playing a full strength team against Leicester/Brentford if it made our chances of staying up were increased however slightly

Brentford.

Never like playing against teams in the same division in the cups.

I agree especially when we are in the top league

 

[One Love]

Leicester

Vardy is usually the difference between us and he's out for a while.

Ten days they were saying on TV so he may be back by then.

 

[fleet]

Brentford ko as Leicester take the knee!

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Going to plan.

 

[RandyWanger]

Sorensen Puts Brentford 1 up

Obviously..

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Brentford line up includes 17 year old Finn Stevens, signed from Worthing.

Very impressed with Brentford. Bossing Leicester completely. They would give us a tough game if they get through. Hope Potter's insisting that whole squad watches so they don't go with that "only a championship side" attitude.
