    Simple really. Do you want to avenge 1984, fancy a repeat of the performance against Man United, or think we can hammer the Hammers?

    Please explain reasoning as well as vote.

    I think Everton are looking in the poorest form currently

    All three are in better form than we are, Man Utd & West Ham are probably better all-round teams, so it's Everton for me - the chance to exact revenge...

    Hmmm....

    Everton have to be the easiest to beat of the 3, but they are known to have their moments. They probably have the worst defence though.

    Man Utd have been average throughout the season, but in Rashford and Martial they have young players that can hit us on the counter and score goals.

    West Ham are unpredictable too, but if Payet is on form we are going to suffer...

    Hmmm...

    Everton, Man Utd then West Ham in that order.

    Actually no, UEFA do not let cup losers into the Europa League - it goes to the next team down in the PL.

    Not thinking further ahead that Palace personally. If I did I would prefer West Ham in the final - we have a very bad record against Everton and Lukaku is awesome, Man. Utd under Van Gaal would be a low scoring match in which it could be game over if we go behind. However, we beat Arsenal, and they are placed higher than any of them - so let them worry about us.

    Got to be Everton, with Deeney jumping against their keeper to get the winner. Karma is calling...

    We will see how we can cope against Everton this weekend - they score goals but let loads in.

    We haven't had much luck against Man U and West Ham are a good side with a lot of quality.

    i'd say Everton simply because they are the most dodgy at the back and we don't do well against Man U...and West Ham are a little bit good at the mo!

    One of the VPs at work is an Everton fan, so I'm not sure if I want to play them or not. Also, Martinez is the only manager left that has won it previously.

    The important variable on that occasion was the goalscorer, not the manager. :)

    Whilst the answer for older fans is obvious I really don't like us jumping the gun like this.
    One hurdle at a time.
