It was an excellent game, typical of a classic Fa Cup affair where the minnows get to play the mighty on their own (soggy) soil. Must admit, I felt a tad sorry for them at the final whistle, I think they should have edged a win, but hey ho, they now have a return trip to Anfield, which is also a late "Christmas Bonus" for not only the team players to experience, but for the chairman's wallet as well.
I watched bits of it and also thought it was an ok game. However, spare a thought for the Liverpool fans who had to travel almost the entire length of the country on a Friday night purely because the BBC wanted to show Liverpool and up their ratings.
And this comes back to why I only watched bits of it: Liverpool played their kids. For me that ruined the spectacle, if not the match itself. I wonder how many others saw the team Liverpool put out and turned over?
