The David V Golaith clash between Chelsea and Scarborough will be interesting. A team worth over £100m against a team worth under £10k. Wouldnt it be nice if scarborough stuffed Chelsea. Will make my day, but it wont happen.

The fourth round of the FA Cup takes place this weekend with the dream still alive for two non-League teams.
All eyes will be on the McCain Stadium as Nationwide Conference side Scarborough entertain Premiership big spenders Chelsea.
The match is worth almost £500,000 to cash-strapped Boro, who beat Southend in a replay to reach this stage of the competition for the first time.
“Chelsea are coming here and that is the magic of the Cup,” said Boro boss Russell Slade.
Telford are the other Conference side left in the competition.
Unfortunately for the Bucks they missed out on a Premiership tie when the third-round draw was made and entertain Division One Millwall.
Scarborough aside, the tie of the round is undoubtedly Liverpool against Newcastle at Anfield, with the match televised live on BBC One.
Both teams have disappointed in the Premier League and the importance of an impressive Cup campaign cannot be underestimated.
Tottenham travel to Manchester City - a tie that pits together two teams who need a good Cup run to boost morale.
David Pleat’s Spurs have won their last four Premiership games to climb away from the relegation zone, but have still disappointed this season.
Kevin Keegan’s City are desperately short of confidence - their 3-1 FA Cup replay win against Leicester was their only win in their last 16 games.
Northampton are another team dreaming of an FA Cup upset.
Cobblers boss Colin Calderwood is dreaming of a shock against Manchester United at the Sixfields Stadium.
United, who have prepared for the tie with a mid-season break in Dubai, cannot hand a debut to new signing Louis Saha as the French striker is cup-tied.
Wolves, promoted to the Premiership last season, host West Ham, while Division One strugglers Wimbledon travel to Birmingham.
Aside from Northampton, Swansea and Scunthorpe are the other two remaining Division Three clubs left in the Cup.
The Swans almost slipped out of the League last season, only avoiding relegation on the last day of the season.
But they are resurgent this season and striker Lee Trundle won the FA Cup Player of the Round last time out.
The Swans entertain Preston at Vetch Field.
Scunthorpe United beat Barnsley in an FA Cup replay to earn their trip to Portsmouth.
“It’s the biggest news in these parts since cricket legend Ian Botham made seven starts for United between 1979-1984 and the club’s Third Division play-off victory at Wembley against Leyton Orient in May 1999,” said chief executive and secretary Don Rowing.
Colchester ended Accrington Stanley’s cup run in the last round and now travel to Coventry, who thrashed Walsall 6-1 in Division One on Saturday.
