Oh fuck me. The FA Cup is back.
Now, I'm not one of those EPL-centric, footballing-history-started-in-1992 type people. I just
hate the FA Cup. I hate how misused the FA Cup is in terms of broadcasting (both online and
televised).
Last March I wrote a post about how College Basketball's March Madness is presented in
America.
Saturday Bristol Rovers - Aston Villa 12pm - Fox Soccer The FA Cup enters the Third Round proper,
with Brad Guzan and Eric Lichaj's Villa getting an away date with League Two club Bristol. Part of
the fun of the English cup competitions is seeing stadiums that normally don't appear on US
television. Memorial Stadium in Horfield, Bristol is mostly standing areas, since Bristol has never
been high enough in the English league system to.
Slowly but surely, we are getting back into the gear of things in international football. In a sea
of potentially crappy matches in the FA Cup's third round this weekend, the biggest match of them
all is floating around as we will be treated to another Manchester derby as United visits City
looking for revenge for last season's semifinal matchup.
The third round of the FA Cup is littered with the typical David vs. Goliath matchups that the
tournament boasts every year, but there is one matchup featuring a pair of giants that is sure to
capture everyone's attention.
Premier League front-runners Manchester City and Manchester United square off in an early-round
encounter that has plenty on the line.
Forget Roy Keane, among the weapons the now former Bristol Rovers manager Paul Buckle had in his
armoury was an icy stare that could single-handedly re-freeze the polar ice caps. I've seen it used
on misbehaving players in training, at fans who've had a differing opinion, and at journalists
(including myself) who've asked questions that he doesn't think are worth answering (which, on some
occasions, has been a fair response).

It wasn't a bad day for Americans in England as Clint Demspey, Brad Guzan and Landon Donovan
impressed in the third round of the FA Cup.
Dempsey continued his impressive goal-scoring form with a hat trick in Fulham's 4-0 victory over
Charlton Athletic at Craven Cottage.
Dempsey opened the scoring against the League One leaders in just the eighth minute, taking
control of a deflected through ball and beating John Sullivan in Charlton's goal.
Aston Villa manager Alex McLeish says he has been told by Liverpool counterpart Kenny Dalglish the
Reds are not interested in signing Darren Bent.
McLeish was speaking after watching his side reach the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 3-1
victory at Bristol Rovers.
England striker Bent, 27, who joined Villa from Sunderland a year ago, has been linked with a move
away, with Liverpool reportedly among the favourites, and he played in Saturday night's win at the
Memorial Stadium.

Arsenal head into Sunday's FA Cup fourth round clash with Aston Villa on the back of three
consecutive league defeats, but they have still been deemed the favourites by many European
bookmakers to emerge victorious.
Arsenal and Villa last played an FA Cup match nearly 29 years ago at the good old Highbury,
where the Gunners progressed courtesy of a 2-0 win.
