Last night I settled in after practice to watch a little Manchester United vs Reading in the 5th round of the FA Cup. Like most lovers of underdogs, I was pretty sure Reading had a chance. That was, until 6 minutes into the game. Three goals in six minutes. Unbelievable. Reading was down 3-0 and Man U was averaging a goal every 2 minutes! The game starts when the whistle blows guys.Thankfully, they stuck their finger in the dam and started to chip their way back. By the end of regulation it was 3-2. In stoppage time, Reading rocked the crossbar and missed staging one of the greatest comebacks in FA Cup history by about 2 inches. Man U was non-existent. The game lasts 90+ minutes guys.
So all in all, it was an awesome game. Today is Blackburn vs. Arsenal. I'm picking the gunners.

When that shot hit the bar, I was on my knees, on the floor. I couldn't believe they got that close. I nearly deleted the game (DVR) after 3-0, but that game is what the FA Cup is all about. Too bad Convey is hurt, he may have had a part in the game, and maybe with Marcus in net, it is 1-0 or 2-0, but not 3-0.
Carlee was sleeping until that moment. My loud screams woke her up. It would have been awesome to see that go in.
no giant killers allowed!!!!!!!!!
Man U for the "Treble"!!!
