A Year For A Minnow in the FA Cup?
In the third round of the FA Cup, nine premiership teams were undone, either by their top flight companions or by a team from a lower division. This weekend, at least three more will go home as several top teams face off. Arsenal take on Newcastle, Tottenham play Manchester United and Wigan host Chelsea.
Liverpool face Havant & Waterlooville, a team from the SIXTH division of English football. This would be like the Indianapolis Colts playing some team of ex-high school players in a Turkey Day game in the mud at the local high school.
Eight games on the docket will see a non-Premiership team through to the fifth round. The draw will have a lot to say about who gets further as a lower tier side, but it's a good bet that at least a couple of teams from outside the top league in England will live to see the sixth round, at the least.
