This is great news for learning to play the game without the ball.

It's a fix. Somebody is worried we'll progress too far, maybe.....Heaven forbid....win the cup. Can't be allowed to happen. United out, will have caused earth tremours in the Long John Silver lodge so they bring in the big guns. It's a fix I tells you.

anyway...

here's the thing...

two outings in the cup - 100% record - two wins out of two - unbeaten!!

still in it (unlike several other "big" clubs knocked out by "minnows")

beckford grabs two - which is the shot in his arm he needed to set him off on a 2-goals a week season-long spree...

it's all good!

A friend of my nephew - Chelsea fan (friend not nephew) - reckons they'll get double figures.

Worrying thing is, right now, I'd settle for that. :(
