Seen him twice already this season and he's been bloody awful. Just goes to show.
The pleasing thing for me about Wimbledon tonight and generally most of the cup games is that i think the English leagues are the most competitive in the world and there isn't as big a gigantic gulf between league 2 and the bottom of the Prem than you would at first think. At the end of the day it's 11 v 11 and usually the better players will come out on top but there are so many occasions when you can't really tell who are supposed to be the better. Usually it is the last third of games when the lower league players suffer from a lack of fitness and they get found out as they leave gaps.
Great to watch though. I think the FA Cup is slowly getting some of it's magic back, if not with giant killing but definately with more interest and more intriguing ties.
