I DON’T mean to come over all Kevin Keegan but I would love it –
I would just love it – if West Brom hammer Tottenham in the FA Cup.
Spurs think they are great again just because of a whoop-dee-do win against Pompey and a brace from their latest Carlos Kickabout (Alan Sugar’s term, not mine). Apparently, Mido is the best thing since Helder Postiga. Remember him?
Normally, I would rather stomach the downright boring spectacle of a woman sailing around the world in a tiny boat – enough Ellen-mania already, it makes me sleepy – than sit down to watch Spurs.
But I smell an Albion victory and Saturday night’s viewing should be a treat.
Top five reasons:
1. It’s February – the time of year when the fans down Lily-Livered Lane chuck their season tickets on the pitch as another hapless campaign grinds to a halt with a cup exit.
2. Super-Kev Campbell – remember when Arsenal had young English players?
3. The comedy-gold Throstle mascots might show up.
4. Tottenham’s ‘We’re a cup team’ mantra actually translates as ‘We haven’t won it in nearly 15 years’.
5. It’s better than the peanut-grasping rugby.

INDIGNANT Gooners have been having a field day over the allegations surrounding Chelski this week.
How dare they attempt to lure away our only decent defender with the promise of as much pizza and soup as he can eat, they cry.
Dock points off those scheming money bags they screech. (About 30 should do it.)
I’m not sure you’d be whining so much if it was Pascal Cygan who’d been supping tea with the opposition.
Still, if it’s the only chance you’ve got to get your paws back on that precious title, good luck to you.
Don’t worry if the allegations prove to be a load of old rubbish though.
There are always the Cups and chances are the decision to bring in ONE more player to bolster your squad in the transfer window will see you in good stead.
Of course there are those who called Martin Jol and Co a load of old pumpkinheads for buying up the world and his wife in January.
But there was nothing soft headed about new boy Mido on Saturday.
It’s taken your lot two matches to stick two goals past Pompey in the Premiership.
He did it in one. With a groin injury. On his debut. Who’s crowing now?
