No messing about worrying about scenarios and what ifs. Take each game as it comes, two week break post Watford, no excuse not to have a full strength team out. Let's go at them

The Most convincing argument for the FA Cup I have read here! The only this it does not address is the 'distraction' Element. Having 'One eye on the cup' is not a good way to garner points from a League game in this division. Like it or not, the best Way to progress as a club is to bring in the money that the Premier League offers. To win the FA Cup at the expense of the Premier League survival is short-termism and where it will benefit the Fans and give them 'those Wembley days', it'll do more damage to the club in the long run if that means relegation to the ultra competive and far Less lucrative Championship. I am all for the FA Cup, It can do wonders for moral and gives the 2nd string a chance to impress - which can only be good for cometition. But would take PL survival first any day of the week. I agree. But what I said was cup success inspires success in the league. Positive feedback! Have both.

And yet we're in the Premier League and you don't want to go for the cup? Not at the risk of relegation. In the real world, it is difficult to know where to strike the balance. We are already taking on extra risk. If we make the final and stay up then great but if we go down then ten cup finals will not make up the loss of income and players.

Aside from United or City the worst draw we could have had. They're safe, been strong at home all season, cynical and can bully teams when they want and have Delofeou and one of the best GKs in the prem. Also been good at the mind games with our best player. Unless we find eight or nine points between now and the game then it's hard to feel we can have a proper go at it.

Going out of the Cup is not shameful. However taking one or, preferably, three points from all matches before we go against Watford will allow a more relaxed approach, with some of the players that Watford do not know how to wind up taking the abuse (and with the help of VAR assisting the ref in his search for his Red Card) before substitutions at sixty minutes of players held back for giving their all for thirty or sixty (hopefully not!) minutes.

Clearly you are correct, the financial implications of relegation are unthinkable, not forgetting that each extra cup tie drains our players and exposes them to injury!
