The magic of the cup

Sunderland 0 - 3 Wigan.

Saturday was the day of the third round of the FA Cup. I like the FA cup and it majorly pisses me off when clubs choose to devalue it or disrespect lower league teams by playing reserve teams (or even youth teams!). David Moyes i'm looking at you. He puts out a reserve team against Oldham and then when Oldham have the audacity to beat them he whinges and whines! Well done Oldham. I would like them away in the next round please.

Another shock occured at Ewood Park where Coventry beat/hammered a pretty good Blackburn team 4-1. Not a good day at the office for Mark Hughes! We're now being reported to be after Michael Misfud who scored 2 yesterday and is known as the Maltese Mosquito because he's so small, Bless! It's like Jorg Smeets and his size 3 feet all over again!

We got through to the next round pretty easily by all accounts, we had a few key players out, such as Sir Titus who served a one match ban. Emile Heskey played some of the match in his comeback from injury, and Josip Skoko got a run out. Our first goal came curtosy of Paul Scharner, and the own goal plaudits this week go to Paul McShane of Sunderland who's goal was actually pretty good. The contest was over when David Cotterill scored a great goal from outside the area to make it three. He did that stupid celebration too that Bent and Bramble have been doing lately, something to do with Soccer AM i'm told.

The draw for the 4th round is being made tomorrow at 1.30 which i think is stupid. It should be made after the last match has been played on the Sunday (like it used to be) I love watching the draw, seeing home teams being drawn out like Colchester and praying that out number isn't going to be drawn out next. Unfortunatly i'm going to have to wait for news on the internet due to being at work.
