Magic of the FA Cup 🏆
Earlier today @billysharp10 spoke on The EFL Show on @SkyFootball about how his return to The Diamonds came about, what his time at Rushden & Diamonds meant and his hopes for the FA Cup 1st Round match on Saturday.
AFC Rushden & Diamonds, the phoenix club from the eighth tier, have knocked out Morecambe to reach the FA Cup First Round for the first ever time. Their greatest day.
🏴 Former England and Manchester United midfielder Nicky Butt has told Kobbie Mainoo to BOYCOTT England’s World Cup third-place play-off against France:
🗣️ “I do not know what is going on there, there’s something not quite right with [Mainoo not playing at World Cup]. Now they’re going to play the bomb squad in the stupid third-place game.
“I’d just refuse to play if I was Kobbie Mainoo. I’d say I was injured. It’s a nonsense game, especially when you’ve been treated like that. He’s not played a minute of football, now to go and start this pointless jumped-up friendly and potentially get injured for the whole season? No.”
