 Re: My FA Cup trading bet.
basically i am looking at teams who arent without a chance of going far but who have a tough opener.
i would argue that even although they won 4-0 bolton could easily have put out a reserve team and lost/drew at donny.
in hindsight if i had known that sheff u would make 10 changes from their last league game then that could have been a possibility too, alhtough with the view a draw was the likelier finish.
also this isnt a case of trading just these 6 teams, the idea is to look at each round on its own merits.
as i type man u have just won but had it stayed 1-1 it would have been an ideal pick before the replay as they would still have been around 2.1 tops to win at villa park
