Hava-what? & Water-who?

By: CSD | January 22nd, 2008

As Nick mentioned briefly on the Man Utd blog, the Red Devils have opened up their training facilities to visiting Havant & Waterlooville. That is just incredibly nice of Uncle Al to do that.

I had to do some research about this club who are making headlines.
This is one of those feel good stories that movies are made of: the non-league team that is given a chance in a tournament to do well and now gets a glimpse of the big time. So far, they have ousted York City, Notts County, and Swansea City.

This is not a Hollywood script, because of the writer’s strike obviously, or else I would say they might actually have a chance. I hope the players at H&W enjoy the experience, because playing at Anfield is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Not just anyone gets a chance for a set of cranky world class players to smash them.

I almost want to root for the little guy. I almost think that maybe in this crazy world, they have half a chance. The logic in me, however, says otherwise. Liverpool will seal H&W’s FA Cup dreams with a number of goals. The worst part is that it will be another big win that we can’t get excited about. Even when we win, we still draw.

See you Saturday.

    As long as Liverpool repeat their 1st leg performance against Luton, then Liverpool won’t have to worry about fixture congestion!

    Knwing Rafa he will probably field the youth team. Do not underestimate H&W. They have played nearly ten games in the FA Cup to get this far… you have only mentioned three teams they have knocked out.

    H&W will take almost 8,000 fans to Anfield on Saturday, I will probably meet most of them as I travel to Wigan to watch Chelsea play… its great being in the UK

    Well, 5-2 for Liverpool in the end, after having twice been behind.
