The Spirit of the FA CUP

Ive found a new found appreciation for the FA Cup since Ive been here and watching all the games. Back in New Zealand all you get is the final between normally 2 big league premier teams. Sigh boring

What you don't see is the brilliant second, and third round games which are just as entertaining as any Chelsea VS Liverpool clashes (which is this sunday, I might add!).

For example as I type Manchester United are playing some low semi-professional team called Burton Albion. Burton drew with them last week so earn a replay at Old Trafford. At the moment they are 3-0 down (Kieron Richardson just scored an awesome goal) but they are still playing their arses off, theres some playing with stitches on his lip and they are just not giving up.

Last weekend- Liverpool beat Luton Town 5-3 after being down 3-1 at half time. Their pretty much fielded a full-strenght team with Gerrard and Garcia and all the usual first team players. Luton i think from memory are in league 2. Such a brilliant game anyway. We were all cheering pretty loudly in the lounge for Luton

And then theres Tottenhams INJURY TIME GOAL loss to Leicester (HAR HAR MATTY!)

Oh well Im just in a bit of a footy mood. Im sure its all boring to most of you : )
