What a weekend!

I'd just like to say what a fantastic 3rd round weekend it was. There were some great contests and some great upsets too. Anyone who says the magic of the FA Cup has disappeared will be eating their words after the weekend we've just had. 3 non-league teams were in this afternoon's 4th round draw, 2 of whom got away replays on the weekend with big Premier$hite clubs. We witnessed a classic match on Saturday night between Luton and Liverpool, and another great game on BBC last night with Leicester coming back from 2-0 down to beat Spurs 3-2. Only one Premier$hite side won by more than 2 goals (Sunderland, surprisingly) and it's fair to say all the non league and lower league sides did themselves proud this weekend.

I am very sorry to burst your bubble shrimpboy but Bolton also won by more than 2 goals. (3 - 0 away at Watford)

But agree - fantastic weekend. If only we were part of it!

And one Scouser (I'd presume) is over the moon for winnig 250k in a bet on Alonzo scoring from his own half. Brilliant weekend, only way it could have been better was a win for us, not that I'm complaining.
