Maurinho has stated that he will not respect the FA Cup and he field a reserve side (none of the players that will be facing Barcelona). I can totally understand why he is doing that, after would you rather want to win the FA Cup or Champions League Cup?
I just hope Newcastle can gain from this, although to be honest the chelsea reserve team is still going to boast full internations and very good players. Think this will still be a hard game to win, but I'm looking forward to seeing it on Sunday.
