Well a good performance with plenty of effort and passion from the lads irrespective of the result, a goal or even two would be nice and a full house, plenty of noise from the Poolies and to come away from the game proud to be a Poolie as I;m sure the BUrnley fans did last night despite the result

It would be a real shame if in front of the national media we fall to heavy defeat with a less than sell out crowd.

no doubt in my mind we will give 100%. Which is my only wish. What happens will happen

When you look at the outfield XI that West Ham are likely to start with, there are many foreigners in there that are relatively new to the Premiership. Hopefully they won't understand the importance of the FA Cup and the conditions and atmosphere will give us an edge. If they lump the ball to Carlton Cole then this will play into Nelsons hands and I'm sure he can do a good job on him.

I personally don't think we'll get the win but a draw would be just as good financially as winning the game then getting a shit away draw in the next round even though we'd all prefer the win.

Pools' finances aren't my problem so I'll go for the win. It'll still yield a healthy profit if you consider the win bonus, a probable TV fee, and the gate for the next round -- which by the way would be ROUND 5 (i.e., the LAST 16), or put another way, one step from the quarter finals.
How good would that be like?

Obviously they're not but if we get a draw then we would be looking at several hundred thousand quid extra in the bank which could free up some more money for Turner to use in the last week of the transfer window

i am in a greedy mood
a win for me please

Sounds good when you put it like that

I'd be appy with a draw.

on Saturday I'd like to be woken up by the wife sucking my tail, followed by a massive breakfast of eggs x2, sausages x3, bacon x2, beans , fried bread x2 and 2 cups of tea, then I'll make my already merry way to Hartlepool and have a beer or 2 with my nerd friends in the millhouse [ ], I'll pop over to the Vic and watch my heroes beat some shite or other 6-0, after driving home I'll have my tea ooooooooooooo lets say steak and chips, then I'll go to the leg iron [legion for mampi...] and get royally bladdered and 7 ball anyone that dares to take me on on the pool table, after the mile long stagger home I'll sausage the wife for hours on end untill all thats left is dust.


god I've got a good imagination...

I enjoyed reading that!!!

Long as he doesn't get his 'sausages ' mixed up.

A win so I can watch Pools in the next round.....

I'm going to have a big bet on a West Ham win so I won't be too disappointed if we lose. Come on Pools.
