All had a good start to the new year, some more so than others.
FA Cup weekend, think Leicester should be through even with a weak 11. Burnley should also go through although bit of a tougher match. I can't see us beating Stoke. Holloway has already said that we will be playing a weakened team.
Fucking hate people that play weakened teams in the FA Cup. It's only at most something like 6 games extra per season and you take the chance away of giving your fans some of the best days of their football supporting lives. Yes Stoke are a strong team but fucking hell you could beat them, I'd be confident of sneaking something against them. Swindon knocked them out of the League cup.

But likewise last year we had a weakened side playing in the League Cup and managed to get through to the semi's which had a huge impact on our league performance.
I think we can still beat Stoke with a weakened side.

Then that is the managers fault for not being able to focus his team on more than one thing. All thos bolloks about fatigue, it's a joke. In the Champ the players' bodies would be used to two games a week plus training so I honestly fail to see how an exrta couple of matches could cause any "fatigue". It's just an excuse.

I've got a horrible feeling that Leicester will breeze it and can see Palace getting a cheeky 1 - 0
but Burnley on the other hand will probably get knocked out.
