Gerrin! We've got Arsenal! Or Cardiff! Or, er, Burnley. If we beat Sheffield United. Bah...The FA Cup draw is crazy, we've found the world's best full back, and our season bets are going to pot...
1. The FA Cup draw is a bit silly isn't it? Given the amount of replays needed following the numerous draws on Saturday, the draw has become so convoluted Dan Brown could probably write an unfeasibly popular novel about it. Take this one for example...Cardiff City/Arsenal or Burnley v Sheffield United or Hull City. What?
2. That Maicon is half decent isn't he? Well done to the Beeb for showing the cracking Milan derby yesterday, even if we had to put up with Jake "this is nice isn't it?" Humphries, the corker of a match more than made up for it. Becks was average, but Seedorf, Maldini, Cambiasso and Zanetti were as sublime as a vintage red wine. Then there was Maicon, the Brazilian full back and winger rolled into one bundle of attacking power. Like a right-footed Robert Carlos in his pomp. Do us all a favour Aunty Beeb, and buy the Serie A rights permanently...
3. The Catflap betting curse continues. Having lumped on Wolves, Leicester and Wycombe to win their respective leagues when they were looking very comfortable, the wheels fell off again this weekend.
4. For once the media weren't OTT in their praise of a lower division side's footballing prowess, as Swansea taught Fulham a thing or two about good old fashioned expansive, passing football. Though we couldn't help but laugh at how disappointed the commentators were that they didn't win.
5.If Phil Scolari still thinks not landing Robinho at Chelsea is the main reason why he failed at the Bridge, he clearly hasn't seen City play away from home. The little Brazilian might as well not get on the coach...
