The thing is, I'm out in Sweden at the moment and everywhere you go it's bloody impossible to get a cup of decent, plain, simple tea. At every cafe it's a case of picking from an array of 15 jars behind the counter containing every bloody variety you could imagine EXCEPT proper tea.
A typical transactions goes like this:
Me: "Hello there, I'm English. Do you have English Breakfast Tea?"
Swede: "No - but we DO have EARL GREY"
Me: "No thanks. I hate earl grey"
Swede: "But it's the same thing?"
Me: "FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"
As a result of this MADNESS, my partner almost always has a couple of PG Tips teabags in her handbag at the ready and just orders hot water with a drop of milk. Now personally I'd prefer Yorkshire Tea. It gives a far rosier cuppa AND, due to it's flat bag, is even more portable than the pyramid bags which PG produces. I reckon you could probably get a single emergency teabag in one of the credit card slots in your wallet. And that's the main thing really.
Do you know what I mean?

I would pick a strong team as good chance of getting to 5th round and a big pay day ay home. The only one would consider resting with be the man from argentina. other than that play all.
I'd also rest Orlandi. We know his knee is dodgy for now, and currently causes problems after matches. I doubt we'll get 90 mins from him on the Saturday, followed by another 90 mins v Burnley on the Tuesday myself.

Listen to me!!!
A bit prejudice against coffee drinkers. Cant we have a thread about what coffee we would pick for the Port Vale game?

It's interesting that people are talking about resting Orlandi and Ulloa. Ulloa was rested against Reading and was very poor against Birmingham. I really think he needs games. As for Orlandi, if he can't start a game without these problems coming back, then there's limited point in having him available and we need to get the problem looked at. To me, he needs match fitness and games like this are a chance to give it to him.
For what it's worth, I imagine we'll play a similar team to the one which beat Reading with options on the bench if needed. Will be interesting to see what Oscar goes for though.

Coffee for me too
Whilst in sunny Burslem I would pick a strong team.
Strong physically (I remember Adams' style) and in terms of experience.
A chance for Brez to atone for Stoke. Calde, Adam, Dunk & Chicksen, Bridders if still here (Andrews if not) Kemi, David & JFC with Solly and Obika (or if not permittex by Spurs, then has to be Leo).
Whatever kind of tea it is, it clearly needs to be served in a locally (Burslem)-made teapot

Tried a lovely tea when down in Bristol just after Christamas, Tregothnan classic tea. From the only tea plantation in England, in Tregothnan in Cornwall funnily enough. Was a delightful brew. No milk needed and was an absolute joy. So much so I'm about to buy 100 bags of it for about £30 online
