So that will be six Prem teams out, including Wolves or Liverpool, with two facing tricky replays. What are the odds we get City away in the next round? ;weep

Always baffles me as to why teams like Leicester & Bournemouth didn’t play their best 11’s. Ok Leicester selected a relatively strong side, but still left out a host of first team players, whereas a lot of Bournemouth’s side was unrecognisable to the team that has played all season. Just don’t understand why neither would go more or less full strength.
I agree Lukerz, B'mouth and Leicester are in the same position as us in very unlikely to get drawn into a relegation scrap nor break top 5 or 6, so why not prioritise FA Cup?
I hope and expect Pelle to field our best team in each cup tie now even if it means resting in a league match. We have a real shout this season as we have a side that can beat anyone outside the top four or five and what we lack against those sides is evened up potentially by them resting due to chasing greater prizes such as Champions league, Premiership or champions league qualification.
As an example I want Fabianski in goal next round. I love Adrian and he was great yesterday when called upon but Fab is the better keeper, if he needs a rest let Adrian play the match before the cup tie, not the tie itself. I don't want a keeper lacking pitch time brought in and if making a game changing mistake it causing Pelle to say 'well it's only fair he gets a chance', this isn't Sunday league this is about winning big matches.
How much do we still remember 1980, it's got to be worth prioritising it this season, and I doubt Leicester fans will be warmed this evening knowing some of their bigger names will be more rested when they play Southampton next Saturday.
Come on Pelle bring home some silver this season.......... You know what, I think he just might.
Draw numbers, we're no. 22. Hoping for no. 2, its been seven years since we last played them so they're overdue a reminder of who is the better team.

I was brought up by Wimbledon's old ground in Plough lane ( I'm sure a few of you went there! ). I used to go there as a nipper with my late dad and brother back in the southern league days.AFC the TRUE Wimbledon! are moving back to the area and redeveloping the old speedway / dog stadium. I'd like us to draw them at the London stadium. it would earn them a few quid which is much in need.
Can't say I have any fond memories of Plough Lane or Wimbledon, possibly the worst ground I've ever visited and the nastiest team we've ever played against.
Can't say anything about the fans as I've never actually met one...
We were jumping up and down so much the stand was moving.
It had been snowing all day and we couldn't see the goal at the other end, had no idea we had scored until our players ran out of the mist with their arms up celebrating. ;lol

Had a good match against Leicester, good to see young Hammers performing well on Loan.

It was great fun.
If the scaffolding is constructed properly, regularly checked and maintained its fine.

Up until Wolves scored the most exciting moment was the Lovern injury two minutes in.
