Who would we rather play in the 4th round - Saints or Canaries?

Obviously Narge are the lower-order side, but Southampton would have two extra games if we play them, being ahead in their league cup semi. If they don't chuck it against Norwich they'll either be knackered or play the kids against us.

Obviously we are capable of ****ing it up against any side, but still .... fifth round beckons imo.

I'm not sure they would play the kids and if they manage to come through Norwich there is an old adage about winning players not feeling tired.

Anyhow, as means of an edit, I don't necessarily buy into all this tired nonsense. We played twice in 48 hours recently, a situation which we all accept was not normal. Their extra cup games will be midweek so still looking at 3-4 days rest either side.

In summary, normal. Unless you lose, then it becomes an excuse.
