    cant see Albion getting past Portsmouth but I can see then going up. Just an outsiders view. I would like Albion to batter Portsmouth as Im ninth in the Suns Dream Team and everyone else has James in goal so kill him for me!! lol

    FA Cup is short and sweet bit like sex but promotion lasts a lot longer and brings in more money.

    Both is a must.
    Players aren’t just about money are they? Maybe they would like the chance of a medal to go with all that cash.
    Established mid table Premier teams will usually get the free agents and better players ahead of promoted teams unless you are a team that will try to win things and get in europe.

    wetookthesoufbank – where do you get 4 from?? If the Cup wasnt such a farce this year the semi’s wouldnt be played at Wembley anyway. Not really the best thing the FA have done………..

    I think Albion will be lucky to get there twice!! They are already lucky to get there once as it shouldnt be at Wembley and i know loads of Albion fans who think the same thing.

    I hope the baggies thrash Pompey and win the cup, it will be good for the Black Country and if we both go up even better. I love the rivalry but am happy to see a neighbour do well
