Preamble
Maybe Scottish glam rock band Pilot weren’t singing concerning the dawn over Edinburgh, however the enduring attraction of the FA Cup after they wrote 1975 hit Magic – ‘Ho, ho, ho, it’s magic you recognize, by no means imagine it’s not so…’
The message is obvious, we simply must imagine within the magic, always remember to reference it to after which it should survive. Nothing says ‘magic’ fairly like a slate of Saturday 3pm video games headlined by the Chelsea’s billionaire backups kicking the crap out of the membership at present second backside of the Soccer League (Morecambe) or Bournemouth v West Brom.
Nonetheless, we plod on and look additional down the fixture record searching for an upset alternative. Maybe Exeter, at present mid-table in League One, can overcome Oxford United, who – remarkably – are at present within the second tier for the primary time this millennium. What probability a brand new supervisor bounce at Plymouth as they tackle Brentford? Seagull pessimism tells me Norwich have an opportunity towards a Brighton crew missing a recognised striker, so there’s that. Nottingham Forest v Luton, the artist previously referred to as a Premier League relegation scrap, now seems to be like a routine win for Nuno’s European hopefuls.
Replays are clearly now not magic, however extra-time and penalties positively are, so we would get a few of these this afternoon which is – er – miserable enjoyable.
As a seasoned FA Cup third spherical observer, all of this sarcastic lack of perception within the ‘magic’ will after all show incorrect and also you, fortunate reader, will get to comply with alongside a day of shocks with me. Please get in contact along with your observations from the cup or the very restricted league motion (League Two, we see you).
