FA Cup Or FA?

Unfortunately, Hammers always seem to get the 'bums rush' when it comes to fixtures against perennial over spenders and under achievers Manchester United. David Moyes takes his team to the club that sacked him, unfairly in many people's minds, fresh after they have just secured their 1st trophy in SIX YEARS!

So will the Manc's ominous improvement under a 'proper' manager in the form of Erik ten Hag give them the impetus to overcome a West Ham team that was totally bereft of confidence prior to Saturday's much needed win over Forest? The answer is more than likely that the home team will swat their visitors aside as if they didn't exist, especially so if Hammers manager David Moyes goes the 'full dinosaur' and sets his team up so as not to lose!

The Forest game showed what the team CAN DO if given the opportunity, but will Moyes revert to type? Probably, if so be prepared for a Man U gub fest! Moyes has the tools at his disposal, it is to be hoped that he isn't the tool in the equation but don't hold your breath! Premier League survival is ALL he cares about, the Cup means FA to him!- Ed

Well Nev, it has been proven over the evolution of time. That chimpanzees, elephants, orangutans and even crows have adapted to use tools.

Dinosaurs however, not so much. God help us that's all I can say.......

The match has to be won on the night no replays so that must be an utter nightmare for Moyes as he loves shutting up shop as we all no.....but he wont change keep it tight play for pens is my guess.

a full first team out if I'm honest and with Utd having Liverpool to face in the league on Sunday, doubt they will too. Ideal game to go gung ho. The FA Cup really isn't of any importance at this stage but some of us may remember when Allardyce sacrificed the Cup over League position so I expect a few moans over this game from fans

wins breed confidence and Moyes would be stupid to let an opportunity pass to get a win over the Manc's finally. They'll change the squad a bit due to the Liverpool game on the weekend and their push for top 4, Moyes needs to go at em and build on the sound result from Saturday. Anything else is foolish. Win this and we might beat our bogey team Brighton on Saturday too

We dont need to knock the bollocks out the team,we need all fit to stay in the Prem,we are already having a good cup run in Europe,won all the games,and that hasnt built any confidence at all,the Premier League is more important.
