West Brom manager Tony Pulis claims that fixture scheduling is devaluing the FA Cup The Baggies play Bristol City in the FA Cup on Saturday before a midweek league game against Chelsea 'I’m disappointed that the third round and the fourth round of the FA Cup are followed up by midweek fixtures both for Championship clubs and Premier League clubs,’ said Pulis. Pulis recalls taking Stoke to the 2011 FA Cup final as 'one of the great moments of my life' Stephane Sessegnon celebrates scoring West Brom's first goal in their 2-1 defeat of Stoke 'I’m looking at the fixtures and I’m just disappointed they’ve treated the FA Cup as they have, about fourth down in line.
