Just For Smudge ;-)

Here's what Steve Whitney (Pitchero) thought of it:

 

'Remarkably, there are many clubs who are now getting uses to the fact that their run in the biggest cup competition in the game has already gone – and before the middle of August!

One club through - thankfully as far as cup sponsors Budweiser are concerned – are Wembley FC.

Am I alone in thinking that the whole charade of having an Extra Preliminary Round tie between two clubs such as Wembley and Langford on live television on a Saturday afternoon was somehow not quite right?

Was the FA Cup competition diminished a little by having Budweiser pay to roll out 40-plusses like Claudio Caniggia, Ray Parlour, Brian McBride, Graham Le Saux etc., and have Terry Venables looking suitably embarrassed on the bench watching a level of football he perhaps has never seen before?

Okay, so Wembley FC itself has done alright out of the deal. They have had their Vale Farm ground spruced up free of charge and publicity they could never have dreamed of previously.

It would certainly have been a very expensive experiment had lower division Langford left with the spoils!'

They could always plump for ex Premier League star Julian Joachim - currently club-less.
