Ah. The magic of the Third Round of the FA Cup. A wonderful opportunity for the smaller clubs to take a pot shot at the big boys.
And it’s great if you are a smaller club. Nothing to lose.
Get hammered? Well you were up against top class opposition. Internationals.
Lose? Plucky performance. Well done. On to the next league game.
Win? Write your names in the giant killing history books. Sutton United. Ronnie Radcliffe. Fucking Wrexham.
Of course, it’s the other way around if you’re the big club. No-one is saying anything incredible about Lille, despite this result:
Literally, you can’t win.
But we did.
