Looking at games for upsets, and this one sticks out to me - not just because it's a tricky match, but also as W Ham will be far more bothered about staying up this year rather than playing cup matches. Feels like it must be massively reserve side, and I'm not sure they will even be that bothered if they go out.
But at around 1.44 in price to win it. I've got a nice lay in, and planning to potentially also trade a bit for value if it stays fairly level earlier (or better still Burton could nick one early).

We had a strong side out against QPR,why not here?
We won' want to go out to this lot.

Keep up momentum
Can’t see us downing tools now
Where playing half decent putting in effort
Few be rested

Few rested? surely a few more, given importance of league games upcoming - really need injuries before those?

You got a great lay price.
Market doesn't like the look of the team West Ham are playing as it drifted out as high as 1.79 an hour ago
I'm a backer yesterday at 1.44 and today at 1.68
G'luck.

That is poor team out for Westham
Little disappointed in fact
Know we have other irons in fire to worry about
But we play once a week
This is golden opportunity
Rare in cup as normal get city or arsenal

Thought league importance was only going to take precedence - can't risk injury for key players with those matches upcoming.
Took my stake back now, for free lay at least.

over evens now, so bit of green and letting rest ride from here - come on Brewers!
25 minutes gone no shot on goals what kind of football i this ? Westham
I'm with Nuno on this one. He's putting up a fight in the PL and that is (and should be) a priority. Surprised the fans don't agree.
Yep tatty Jimmy
Bring them on Nono
Matchsticks keeping my eyes open under
Stress

I'm glad Spurs are out, with hindsight. Kinda hoping West Ham nick it tbh 
It is best to focus on the relegation battle and not the cup. Trouble is both teams are in a relegation battle 
0-0 does the job though wanted a goal for Burton to make me relax a bit more, lol 
What’s point of it
Might as well let them score
With that team effort showed today
Now extra time
Why Cznt we play strong team beat them in first half
Pull plug go full out Nono tactics
Joke

Pretty disappointing comments from Aspro and others imo. But sadly shared by so many fans in the modern era.
Shows how low the game has sunk and money is the only consideration at the top level, sod trying to win a trophy, scraping enough points together to avoid relegation is all that matters, rinse and repeat.
We were all brought up on the glory of the FA Cup, most saw it as the competition we wanted our team to win. Now it seems we want to see our clubs play reserve sides just so the loosely labelled "superstars" get a day off to supposedly aid their league form (it rarely does)
.
A good cup run surely gives clubs a boost and gets a feel good factor going. The last time my team (EFC obviously) won it in 1995 they were really struggling near the foot of the table but winning games in the FA cup galvanised the team and the league form improved leaps and bounds. There's nothing like winning to boost confidence.

I'd agree dixie, but my views were just for betting analysis - understand the motivations and factors.
Not about the money for me Dixie, it is about competing at the top level. The FA Cup is indeed a cup worth winning, but not if it means losing top flight football.
Nono Jimmy tatty come on 75 min
Might been wrapped up in 90 min
Rather pick extra time
Know where **** the bed late on as will done

what is 1 of the worse games I've seen for ages.
Nuno's got it wrong today.

Aspro, where is the proof that resting your first team players in the cup actually aids your chances of staying up ?
If you are competing on 3 or 4 fronts it's more understandable but there are only a dozen league games left in the next FOURTEEN WEEKS. And as there are no replays these days to worry about there would only be four extra games to play before the cup final for the likes of the Hammers. Playing weakened teams is an insult to the competition and to the fans.

The risk of injury is too great to take the chance when survival is paramount. Mid-high teams I agree should not be resting players, but that is the modern world, instigated (imo) by Fergie. I too recall the good old days of the FA Cup but those days are gone. Sad but true.
It is also one of the reasons I seldom bet on any of the cups these days.
Now you've got another game to play though 
Question is, will they weaken next round, if they have crunch matches in Premier looming....

They play Man City the week after the next round so may as well play the "first team" in the cup match and rest players the week after 
17mins, salford showing as 8 passes completed and one of those was into their own net

Cheers penzance, u2 - hope W Ham stay up this season to be fair, think spurs should go down instead.

lol sorry aspro - someone has to, and they have my bigger green on the relegations at moment
On current form though, the 6/1 or 13/2 on offer may well become tradeable with Arsenal up next. Worrying.
I gave Salford a 3-0 start... Beginning feel a little worried 
Thanks Dixie... I've just ordered a Uber..

Your saving grace is potentially the sh111t show going on a Forest....
West Ham have won 3 and drawn 1 of their last 5... that is good form for survival.
Forest I agree are the ones that could save us, but Gibbs-White is a player that can make something happen. We don't have that at present.
February is almost over with City, Utd, Toon and Arsenal never guaranteeing more than a few points (1 so far). If Arsenal win (likely) we have a few winnable games to recover, but with 11 players out, predominantly first choice players too, it is gonna be tough for us, regardless.

Every game in Germany this afternoon hit overs
Kane gets a brace (1 pen) in a 3-0 win. Keep it up Harry!

salford are still in this, city as yet not killed it off and have had to bring subs on
Regards Burnley, why on earth make 9 changes ??? Play your best team and who knows a nice little cup run. ?
Agree about Burnley - do they really think they are escaping relegation this season? 
It's Soft ground (Heavy in places) at Grimsby - not sure if the Wolves players are going to go through it.
Birmingham robbed, or very unlucky.. Keepers made a huge difference in the shootout, Brums clearly below average. imo.
Yup, thrashing a team 66 places below you in the league pyramid has always been seen as the barometer for true greatness.
Can't believe they actually chose to show this live

Good spot Dixie.
TNT sales manager hauled in tomorrow morning.
Why did you chose this game for the 4th round.
Well,arsenal,top of the league,a great side.
City v Salford,any premier league clash looked better.
BBC had them right off.
They tend to pick premier league teams v each other,so they can sell the media rights to Nigeria or Singapore,dressed up as a prem game.

The FA sells the rights to other countries, not the BBC.
