I love this time of year. Bar the final, the third round is the best day for football in the English cup calender in my opinion. Right now I'm watching Sheff Utd put the pressure on Aston Villa big time. Later on its Plymouth v Everton (go Plymouth) and tomorrow its Yeading v Newcastle. With other interesting ties like Man Utd v Exeter I can't wait for match of the day tonight and tomorrow. Its such a footballing festival, league positions go out the window and everyone goes for the next round.

To small clubs a good cup run means a good source of income and to big clubs the prestige of winning the trophy is unrivalled in European Club Cup competitions. I'm hoping to see Yeading give Newcastle something to worry about later and it would nice if Exeter make Man Utd work for what seems like an inevitable victory. Anyway guys enjoy the football fun!
