And Chelsea has their hands full full Scunthorpe. Chelsea is leading, but it is hardly convincing.
Oxford beats Swansea City 3-2 in a major upset to advance. Don't know Oxford? They are 54 spots below Swansea City in the tables. Wow.
I'm not sure how much non premiership football you've watched, but there isn't a huge drop off once you leave the Premier League. Plus the 3rd round of the FA Cup is famous for giant killing. The smaller teams relish taking on the big teams in a one off knock out match. Exeter and Wycombe were the 2 big results, although Liverpool were fielding a second string squad against Exeter, and Villa are so shite at the minute that I don't think it would have been much of a surprise had they lost (of course, both have replays, so both PL teams could still be out of the hat for the 4th round).
I do like the 3rd round as well. Mainly because of the chances of a low level team hosting one of the giants.There have been some massive upsets over the years. It's always great to see the over paid prima donnas struggle against lower league opposition. It's especially great when non league teams make it through to the 3rd round and you see part time footballers who hold other jobs play against the top players in the world. I remember when I was living in Farnborough and they were drawn against Arsenal. They got hammered, but the town was going crazy in the run up to the game. Third round is the best round in the cup IMO.
