"Who Would Want To Watch That?"

Minnows Havant & Waterloo grab the lead against Liverpool twice in a game Havant eventually loses 5-2.

The BBC yawns and calls the Chelsea v. Wigan game the Match of the Day.

They are as bad as ESPN.

UPDATE:

Got this from the BBC:

Some years ago, there was a television advert for milk which played on the obscurity of Accrington Stanley Football Club.

Up until a month ago, the same could have been said about Havant & Waterlooville.

On Saturday though the south coast club from the Blue Square South stepped out of the football shadows and into the Anfield spotlight.

Defying the odds, this team of part-timers, known as the Hawks, found themselves in the lead not once but twice against their illustrious millionaire rivals.

To the Havant & Waterlooville faithful it was always going to be a day to remember, but scoring twice at the Kop end made it extra special.

Dave Barlow, 67, took three generations of his family to the game.

"Unbelievable," said Mr Barlow, from Lovedean, Hampshire, who has been supporting Waterlooville for 35 years.

"I was expecting a cricket score, but to be in the lead twice was fantastic. You had to pinch yourself.

"The Liverpool fans were very sporting, we couldn't have asked for a better day."

Richard Self, 34, from Havant, runs the club's website.

"Everything went quiet when we took the lead, we couldn't believe it. To see your team at Anfield was one thing - but to be leading! I am really proud of the boys."

As it was, the premiership professionals ran out 5-2 winners thanks to a Yossi Benayoun hat-trick and the Hawks' cup run was grounded.

Havant & Waterlooville fans made their weary way home.

They had dared to dream - for 45 minutes that FA Cup fantasy was a reality.
