The magic of the Cup

Four thousand of us will head up north on Sunday morning for a now rare F A Cup 3rd round against the famous Tottenham Hotspur. If the new Board can go another day without announcing the new manager, it will be a case of Keith Peacock versus Harry Reknapp. David versus Goliath. I feel much happier about this than I did Parky versus Redknapp. Either way it looks a home banker but Peawee might just manage to inject enough organisation and fighting spirit to limit the damage.

It looks like the new manager will avoid a start beginning with a hammering by one of the two sides battling to join the big four. We all know anything's possible in the Cup but surely not here? Spurs are a yard faster across the pitch and are man-for-man better players. Some of the match-ups could be truly one-sided and our players will need to maintain their discipline and focus for 90 minutes.

Personally, I'd take three-nil now. No matter, let's get behind the lads and urge them on for Keith Peacock and the reputation of our club.

  1. Have good day out Dave.
    I think if it's less than 6-0 Spurs will need to consider Redknapps position :)
