On a calmer note, light years away from transfer meltdowns and cut-and-shut away shirts... it's the time of year for FA Cup Qualifying...
Now, maybe I'm just middle-aged and soft in the head but I've always liked the fact that our name is quite distinctive ... Wolverhampton Wanderers... it's venerable, sing-song and alliterative and running my eye down the list of teams who'll be in the FA Cup qualifying rounds brought a smile to my face. For some reason, some of the obscure team names reminded me that football isn't always about big names, transfer panics and TV billions....
Crawley Down Gatwick...
Bovey Tracey...
Yorkshire Amateur...

The FA Cup might have lost a little of its romantic shine over the years (apart from 19/20... that was vintage FA Cup
) but I'm suddenly gripped by the desire to head off to a local ground somewhere and watch one of these matches for some good, old-fashioned FA Cup action... am I just being sentimental? Perhaps, but I love that this country is still dotted with these amateur club for whose supporters, their 11 players are just as big a deal as ours are to us.
