They're off from the Hawthorns
Chris Brunt fouls Mark Noble just outside the box.
The free kick from Aaron Cresswell too high . Not a Noble effort as the Baggies could have born the brunt of it.
A shot from Jim Morrison is blocked by James Thompkins and comes off Kevin Nolan's arm. That could have been a penalty. I've seen them given.
Craig Gardener volleys just wide off a cross from Brunt as he was played down the left by Sess.
A moment's applause for Jeff Astle.
Jim Morrison fouls Valencia in the D, going for a header.
The free kick is lined up a yard behind the D right in the center. The free kick was blasted over by Valencia when placement is required that close to goal.
GOAL !!! BROWN IDEYE GIVES THE BAGGIES THE LEAD WITH A TAP IN AT THE FAR POST
The Craigs have it as a cross field ball by Craig Gardener was misjudged by Aaron Cresswell and Craig Dawson played a pass across the box that was easily put away by Brown Ideye.
A shot from Jim Morrison from just outside the box is straight at Adrian but fumbled over. Off the corner, Brown Ideye goes down theatrically off a tackle from Kevin Nolan. Martin Atkinson was having none of it as he was lucky not to be booked for diving.

A poor corner from Brunt is cleared by the first man.
OH!!! A rocket of an effort from Craig Gardener comes off the bar with Adrian completely beaten. Then an off balance Craig Gardener shoots the rebound over. Johnno will be relieved.

The Hammers win a corner.
Thompkins heads over off the delivery from Ten Downing Street.
Hammers fans will be disappointed in the manner in which they conceded the goal. Mark Noble was tackled in midfield and the ball broke to Berhino , who laid it off for Jim Morrison to do his thing and perhaps close the doors on the Hammers FA Cup hopes.
Two minutes of stoppage time.
It's halftime and the Baggies are two up vs the Hammers. It could have been three as Craig Dawson had a rocket crash off the bar
It will be hard to see the Hammers coming form two down against a well organized Pulis side and given that they have yet to have a shot on target. Sorry Johnno.
The second half is underway
GOAL !!! 3-0 BAGGIES AS BROWN IDEYE HAS A BRACE, HEADING IN FROM CLOSE RANGE. GAME OVER.
Chris Brunt made a great run down the left. playing a nice one two with Jim Morrison. Brunt played a pass across the box that was missed by Brown Ideye. The ball broke to Sess and his cross deflected off of Aaron Cresswell and was headed in by Brown Ideye from close range.
Captain Morgan Amalfitano is on for Kevin Nolan. Fat Sam was getting ready to make that substitution just before that goal. It may be too late.
OH!!! The first attempt on target for the Hammers and nearly a goal as a tasty cross from Amalfitano was headed by Sakho and Foster, who had not been forced into action makes the save of the season from that powerful hear . He dove acrobatically to save then Gareth MacAuley cleared off the line.
Now Carlton Cole is on for Sakho, who just had that chance.
It goes from bad to worse for the Hammers as Morgan Amalfitano as he's booked for a nasty foul on Chris Brunt then seconds later is sent off for a second yellow for pushing Chris Brunt in the face. Stupid from Captain Morgan and not what Fat Sam sent him on to do.
GOAL !!!! EVEN WORSE FOR THE HAMMERS , WHO ARE REALLY GETTING HAMMERED . NOW 4-0 AS BERAHINO SHOOTS PAST ADRIAN AT HIS NEAR POST.

The final roll of the dice from Pulis as Cristian Gamboa is on for Craig Gardener.

That's it and the Baggies have hammered the Hammers 4-0. They are the first team in the quarters. Sorry Johnno.
