Heady days, we are just three wins away from Wembley with a home game against a highly beatable Stoke City. Avram is within touching distance of immortality at West Ham. How many managers have taken us to a Cup Final? Syd King, Ron Greenwood, John Lyall and Alan Pardew are the only ones so far so Grant would join an elite band!
But will we blow it tonight? Grant is talking rotation and Nouble has been recalled from Swansea. I hope somebody has checked that he isn't cup tied! We don't want another Manny Omoyinmi!
Of course we have been here before and not so long ago. Back to December 2007 and we went into a home fifth round League Cup tie against an injury ravaged Everton and contrived to lose courtesy of a God almighty cock up between Green and Gabbidon.
I hope Grant's "rotation" goes no further than giving a start to Cole and Barerra. Green is playing better and does not need to be rested. The last thing Stech or Boffin need is to face the aerial barrage that Stoke threaten. After his showing against Newcastle, Ilunga should get no further than the bench, whilst Ben Haim would be my choice to partner Da Costa in the absence of Matty "I can't play cos I have a splinter and a corn" Upson.
The team will be announced soon. Will Grant embrace his destiny or blow it?

Just seen the bloody team! Tell me, why does Green need a rest? If Stech makes a mistake and we go out of the Cup, how will that help anybody? Tomkins and Da Costa together in the centre? Dangerous! Ilunga and Faubert on the flanks? Tuncay and Etherington will be delighted! No Noble! Kovac instead! To show Stoke what they are missing no doubt! And Cole and McBenni up front. If we win, it will be an inspired team selection; if we lose, Grant will look a complete cnut!
Bring back zola!
Yet another goal conceded from a corner but then what do you expect, with two novice centre backs in front of a kid keeper. Ludicrous!
this hurts like fcuk but west ham are fcuking shit. lets go down and sell all the crap that shouldn't even be wearing that famous claret and blue top. enough is enough how much more can us fans take of this complete shite. sell the lot of them cnuts.
Same defence that went up to Sunderland and won, still 45 minutes to go mate.
Even the Official Site asked "How easy was that?" after the Stoke goal!
