Well, it's FA Cup 3rd Round day today. Along with the Cup Final itself, this is probably the biggest football day of the year. Plenty of lower & non league sides do battle with bigger professional clubs to further their involvement in the biggest football trophy competition in the world.
The pick of games today has to be Macclesfield V Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Liverpool V Arsenal and funnily enough, my team Norwich City travelling to Conference side Tamworth. I am, as ever, utterly pessimistic about our chances. We make a terrible habit of going out early doors to much lower teams and this game is being televised too, so now we can humiliate ourselves in front of millions of people, not just a few thousand !!
Seriously though, I've just seen the team sheet, and we should wipe the floor with them.
But, this is the FA Cup. Anything can, and usually does, happen.
I'll be back in 2 hours or so. Start placing bets on what kind of mood I'll be in !! LOL ;o)
UPDATE: Well, we won comfortably by 4 goals to 1. Would've been nice to have kept a clean sheet, but to be totally fair, Tamworth's goal was a worthy effort which even received copious applause from the travelling City fans. So, the giddy heights of the 4th round beckon and talk starts of a possible cup run ! ;o)
