Who's fucking idea was it to put Yeovil v Stevenage live on BBC 2?

Most of the teams taking part in this round are very interchangeable. Yeovil could very likely be a League 2 side. Similarly Stevenage have been fighting off relegation for a good few years now.

I noticed even the ground wasn’t full last night, so even the support wasn’t interested either. But at least that meant we didn’t get to see those rosy-cheeked optimists who only go when the television people turn up, in the hopes of getting their faces on the telly.

Similar too when the local church attendance goes up when cameras arrive to record Songs of Praise .

Our first match as holders is Watford at home.

We're so forgettable we weren't even a selected ball :lol:
