It is often said that in cup games a team near the top of one division will be favourites to beat a team struggling in the league above. The F.A. Cup first round results at the weekend have therefore led to an interesting conundrum, because teams from our division mainly failed against teams higher up the pyramid.
I don’t totally understand how you can lose and still be described as playing well and, by some, as deserving to win. Surely it’s like a golfer who is brilliant with the woods and irons, but who can’t putt for toffee, or a darts player who racks up 180s and then misses all his doubles. Apparently we would be top of the league if we scored more goals. Yes, and as Clifford. T. Ward sang: “I could be a millionaire if I had the money." The game of football operates at both ends of the pitch, not just one and no-one deserves to win. You either outscore your opponents and win, or you don’t.
