FA Cup weekend again, my favourite

competition in British football. The cut and thrust of cup knockout football anyday over the dreary overrated Prem football that is on show most weeks. A definitive winner from every tie. You get maybe two stabs at the cherry, and that is it, you are then either in or out.

I hope Jose takes this competition more seriously than his predecessor, and with a tricky, but very winnable tie at Southampton tomorrow, need to go full strength. No time for experimenting. My team

Lloris
Aurier
Toby
Verts
Davies (if fit)
Ndombele
Lo Celso
Lamela
Dele
Son
Moura

Should be enough to at least get a replay, but I am expecting them to get the job done first time. Something like 2-1, 2-0, 3-1 to Spurs. Just need to be more clinical, Both Son and Moura need to step up, they have been awful past few weeks.

FA cup better than the prem

The fa cup is so boring. Won't be watching any football this weekend as there are no decent ties. Surprised our match isn't on TV. Lots of pointless league 1 v premier League reserve matches seem to have been picked

How can straight knockout cup games be boring, when you have a truly boring Prem that is already over, and we now have another four months of mostly meaningless matches to endure. With only the bottom clubs having anything to play for.

Are you saying you would sooner watch a meaningless middle of the table Prem game, then an knock out FA Cup match?

Sad to say I don`t rate Scottish football at all. Although I did have a small punt on your team, Dundee United to win the Scottish Championship pre season.

Are the English still on speaking terms with the Scots?

They don't play in the Scottish Championship

Southampton are the Premier League's form team. I'm expecting a comfortable 3 nil win for them - Aurier to concede a penalty as well.
