This week the FA Cup in all its giant-killing glory, has given me a tough task - to pick the team of the week. With great performances full of heart and hope, I decided to give a three-way award to Burton Albion, Nuneaton Borough and Luton Town.

Burton Albion held Manchester United to a 0-0 draw and earned a replay, with a 1-1 result coming between Nuneaton and Middlesbrough doing the same. Only Luton of our winning three lost, but only after giving Liverpool a scare. The final was 3-5 in that match, and it was a barn-burner.

Well done to all three teams, and here's hoping Burton and Nuneaton can pull upsets and progress. At the very least, they get some needed revenue from the replays.
