FA Cup – Game of the round

Writing about web page http://www.ytfc.net

While most people's eyes will be on the lunchtime tie between the Saints and Pompy, which to be fair does have all the elements to be a classic:

However the real match of the day comes a bit later, thats right Charlton vs Yeovil at the Valley.

With Charlton currently 7th in the Premiership and Yeovil top of league 2, boths teams are currently playing quality football. There may well be 62 places inbetween the two, but with Yeovil having knocked out 20 league teams while they were the famous non-league "giant-killers" and coming through the 3rd round with a convincing victory over Championship strugglers Rochdale, anything is possible.

Last years FA Cup run saw them bow out to Liverpol 2–0 in the 3rd round after holding their own for mist of the game.

Representing the last of the league 2 sides left in the competition and with managers Gary Johnsons' commitment to quality football, the Premiership pitch will be right up their street.

I shows just how well the Glovers have come in the last few years from Conference to top of of the league, and with hardly any upset value over the demolition of Rochdale it seems they triely are becoming a team to be reckoned with.

So I say roll on 3pm and bring on the Charlton. Come on you Green and Whites! (Just a shame no-where will be showing the game, still if we beat them and get United i'm sure they'll stick that on somewhere!)
