The FA Cup’s back, baby. It’s been some fourth round, and hot on the heels of memorable victories for the likes of Wimbledon, Millwall and Crystal Palace, came a six-goal thriller at the Hive between Barnet and Brentford. You’ll do well to see a better goal on the counter this season than the one Sergi Canos swept in, or a more precise free-kick than the effort battered into the top corner by Daniel Sparkes. And what a fifth-round draw, which surely further increases the likelihood of a final without the usual suspects! So instead of extemporising on all that for three exciting paragraphs, The Fiver has naturally decided to harp on about the transfer window for a couple of hundred words instead.
