Leaving the travails of the league behind for one weekend must be an attractive proposition to fans of both clubs in this Saturday's fourth-round cup tie, as Albion travel down to London for a clash against West Ham. No doubt it'll carry some extra significance for Slaven Bilic, facing his former employers for the first time, but the teams are each on an iffy run, and it may simply end up being a question of which side actually minds being in the cup less.

Of course, it'd be a shame for that to be the case, and in the spirit of past meetings between the Baggies and the Hammers, let's hope that it's not. It's been a long time now since the infamous 4-3 comeback in 2003, but the last cup tie between the sides resulted in a 4-0 Albion rout in the 2015 fifth round, and three of the four matches since then were lively affairs that produced a total of fourteen goals. Neither of our two visits to the Taxpayers Stadium have yielded a win, but with the burden of the promotion race temporarily lifted, there's hope for an upset this time round.

I can’t help thinking that, with our current run of form and lack of potency up front, this is an ideal opportunity to blood Willock

Been calling it that ever since they moved there, and will carry on until they've finally coughed up the money to make it their own. Or until I shuffle off this mortal coil. Think I know which'll happen first...

Well who’d have thunk it! What did the Beefster put in the prediction league?

[baggietrousers]

Everything we've been lacking for weeks just came flooding back. The effort was fantastic, from the old war horse Brunty through to the kids, full of passion and guts. Big up to Hegazi as well.

Says it all really doesn't it

And to prove everything on the Huddersfield prediction League I predicted West Brom to beat Stoke Monday night for the first time ever !!
How did that work out

So now out of the goodness of the club on my behalf the committee must stand up and return my points Albion related now
