Big game for Zola's season

The FA Cup replay at Middlesbrough is a huge game for West Ham's season.
You'd have to say that after all the financial turmoil and talk of fire sales - and considering it is his first 'proper' manager's job - a mid-table finish would go down as a success to all but the most delusional Hammers fan.
BUT a nice run in the cup would make a huge difference.
A win at Middlesbrough followed by a tough trip to an Arteta-less Everton and vefore you know it you're in the Semi-Finals - then ANYTHING's possible.
I think if West Ham can get past 'Boro then they are in good shape.
They would prefer to be away to Everton - it suits the way they play - and Everton without Arteta are not the same side.
Fingers crossed for a result at the Riverside.
