The FA Cup


Recommended Posts

It's a sensational competition.

 

Even in the extreme disappointment of yesterday's Latics display, you see a side that should really be non-league taking a 3-0 advantage over one of the more entertaining League One outfits, who, from nowhere, turn it round to 3-2, then go on to have a goal disallowed and hit the post in injury time - but the underdogs cling on.

 

Dover losing their manager to Gillingham and then doing them 2-0 on their own patch.

 

Fleetwood's owner stood behind the goal with his own fans.

 

League Two's worst defence taking League one's best attack to a replay after drawing at Edgeley Park.

 

Player grabbing hold of an opposition manager.

 

Tranmere coming from 3-0 to 3-3 and then still managing to lose.

 

Top sides like Huddersfield and Brighton failing to score against non-leaguers.

 

There's loads more not included in the list, but even in the early rounds it's a brilliant competition. In fact it's probably far better in the early rounds these days.

 

Gutted Latics haven't delivered yesterday, but there's always next season.

I agree and I love it when the underdogs succeed, even though it's hard to take when Latics are the victims. That's why it's the world's greatest cup competition.

Is there anyone, anywhere in the world, with any genuine interest in football, who doesn't want to see AFC Wimbledon hand Franchise's arse to them in this round?

I will be genuinely tempted to go there and stand outside just so as to make appropriate hand gestures afterwards should it all go well.
