On Match of the Day the wonderfully enthusiastic Jonathan Pearce declared the FA Cup as the greatest cup competition in the world and after weekends like this one‚ it feels as though he is right. In keeping with the story of this season's cup‚ intrigue‚ upset‚ controversy and‚ most importantly‚ excitement all featured as the grand old competition showed the best of itself at places like Vale Park‚ Field Mill‚ the Racecourse Ground and Craven Cottage. The performance of the last sixteen came from Port Vale who‚ after knocking out Sunderland‚ have now won more cup games this season - seven - than they have in League One - six - where they currently sit bottom. But Mansfield and Wrexham certainly ran them close.
