It was a great game. Well done to Rochdale - I didn't think they could do it, but they played great. Proper football too.
Premier league clubs have been making a fuss about replays and match congestion, but tough - as Alan Shearer said last night, if you want to win it first time round - play your best team from the start.
Obvs they will get well beaten in the replay, but that's for another day and not really the point.
Isn't there talk of scrapping replays from the 4th Round onwards...Not sure if that os from next season

I think it's being looked at. If they decide to scrap more relays then that will hit the teams that need the money more - the little teams.
Premier league teams are quite happy to play the little teams as long as they play to the script and roll over.
Wigan played brilliantly last night, so instead of picking a fight with the Wigan manager and with the referee, Guardiola should be turning his attention to Delph! Why did he do what he did when it was so silly and unnecessary?
