It was the draw for the FA Cup third round yesterday. When Huddersfield Town were drawn at home to Dover Athletic Pete and I both groaned. Dover Athletic are a non-league side and they're always tricky ties. Far from being a foregone conclusion anything can happen. Come January, everyone will be turning their attention on us, rooting for the underdog and the 'magic' of the FA Cup. Dover will be well up for it, hoping for a giant killing. In fact, they're probably a bit disappointed not to have been drawn against someone higher in the leagues. A fixture for a lower league side against someone like Man City or Chelsea ensures record attendances and gate money. That one dream tie could fund the rest of the season, win or lose. Town, of course, will not want to lose. We will be hoping for another solid win, such as the one against Macclesfield on Saturday (6-0). Who knows what could happen in the fourth round then. We could be drawn against Leeds, providing they beat Arsenal...
