Happy New Year!
Everyone who knows me knows that I love the FA Cup. I'm not going to go on about how sad it is big clubs field softer sides for Cup ties because it's been done ad nauseam. All of the stupid nonsense on the television about Giant Killing and "everyone turns up for the Cup" is the kind of shit I eat up and love about it.
I was watching Soccer Saturday (which I LOVE during the FA Cup), and Stelling's reaction to Hartlepool going 2-0 up over Stoke was classic. Forest's 3-0 thrashing of City, while personally upsetting, is exactly what makes the FA Cup fantastic to watch.
I am just glad there are more matches on television here now. You don't get many opportunities to watch Gillingham in the US.
