Odemwingie implores West Brom to have pop at FA Cup

Peter Odemwingie has urged West Bromwich Albion to have a real go at this season's FA Cup.

The Baggies defeated Cardiff City 4-2 in the third round on the weekend and the Nigerian striker hopes that there is an extended run in the competition this campaign.

"The manager spoke about how it's been over 40 years since the club won the FA Cup and he said this year it would be a very good cup to win it so let's do our best in it," he said.

"He said he wasn't taking this match lightly and playing the best available team.

"He was very serious about it on Friday in training and the pre-match talk was long and emphasised that we had to be very serious. We are hoping to go as far as possible in this tournament."
