Well done Sumns!

Looking forward to today, going to be cramped in the Big Bank though.

When was the last time we beat a top flight club in the FA Cup?

That season was also the last time we made the fourth round!

1c in Exeter. Overnight low was -1c. There was 4mm rain in the last 24 hours, mainly in the form of intermittent showers. The wind is northerly, but at the moment barely rating force 1. There's a grey cloud cover with the sun attempting a break through (and probably losing). Shouldn't imagine that the temperature will get much above 5c, so a day for thermals and warm outer coverings. I'll update at around 13.00.
Three other things: Firstly Sum's piece in The Guardian is excellent (especially compared to some of the others chosen.)
Secondly I'm at a loss to know what to go for in the prediction league. A team with a porous defence against a team which has had difficulty in scoring makes for a difficult choice. Throw in the unpredictability factors - Tis starts with Matt Jay up front and Jack Sparkes in defence - West Brom allow their two loanees to play against us - and it's even more muddling.
Finally, the pitch is very likely to cut up quite badly, we've had an awful lot of rain this week - and barely any "dry out" time.
Should be a classic afternoon.

It's my birthday. I spoke to Jayden, Jordan T and Christie at the Senior Reds party and told them I expected nothing less than an emphatic win.

I'm expecting a win today as Pardew hasn't managed West Brom for very long and Tisdale is only second to Arsene Wenger in football management longevity.

This game doesn't seem to have caught the attention or imagination like the LFC game (obvious reasons) but a PL side at the park (result irrelevant) will be good to watch
