FA Cup 3.R4: Shock-a-doodle-doo

Well that was a let down. All the standard build up about the magic of the cup and then bugger all in the way of upsets. QPR losing to Sheffield Utd was the only Premier League cupset - there may have been some lower down the league, but frankly...they're all varying degrees of dross, with limited resources with relegation/promotion as a priority.

We nearly had some fun with AFC Wimbledon, but the legend of Stevie G ruined that too. Wigan's recent love affair with the ole' gal also has ended.

There was some good replay action though. Spurs decided to toy with Burnley, giving them a 2 goal headstart before battering the claret doors down. Fulham amd Wolves had a humdinger that went to penalties, however were superseded by the goings on in East London. West Ham defeated Everton with the type of penalty shootout that everyone loves - when the 'keepers get involved. It was another match that waxed & waned, with Everton thinking they'd done enough when Lukaku completed the turnaround after Mirallas' great free-kick and levelled it up late in regulation time. However, Carlton Cole had other plans. A cracking game - one which Impossibilitee Special Correspondant Bradley Allix can report on further.
