West Brom at Bristol Rovers. Like the year the spanners got to the cup final, we said we'd never have a better chance. I think this could have been it.
Good for us I think. It´s hard enough for a mid table Prem team to combine a couple run into the quarters or semis, plus the league. Promotion campaign and cup run must have the players a bit confused about priorities. Notice the slide of WBA in the league since they beat us in the cup.
I hope they win it, and get another CCC team into the UEFA, while we go up to the Prem!
Top of the league and looking invincible, they embarked on their cup run.
Got knocked out in the 5th round after replay, extra time and penalties, taking only 3 points from their next 6 League games and missed promotion completely.
They will hope they've learned from that now, but they'll get excited if they make the semi's - and that'swhen distraction and split priorities kick in.

Slightly undermined by Man U playing Arsenal in the last round.
With 8 teams there was more chance of them not meeting than meeting.
Or 2 winning visits to Wembley on successive weekends?
