They Better Win Tomorrow

Tomorrow, in the third round of the FA cup Notts County is playing Forest Green. Forest who? you say. Well, from the BBC:

The tie in context

• Forest Green Rovers, at fourth bottom in the Blue Square Premier, are the lowest ranked club still surviving in the FA Cup.

• They are also one of four clubs from the fifth level to have fought their way through to the third round.

• This is the only tie pitting a non-league side with one from League Two.

Gulf in class

• At fourth in League Two, Notts County are 41 places higher than Forest Green Rovers in the pecking order.

If Notts really have pretensions of the Premier League in the next decade (and not the freaking Blue Square Premier league) they need to start beating the minnows. The last two years Notts got themselves knocked out in Cup competition by the likes of Havant and Waterlooville (?????) and Kettering Town.

It hurts.
