Noughties Nostalgia #33: The 2007-08 FA Cup season, Alvaro Recoba, Valencia double winners

Welcome to the first week of the rest of Noughties Nostalgia Podcast's life! Right here in proper podcast form. To mark it: we're celebrating the magician that is Alvaro Recoba, as it is his 45th birthday today - was he a case of wasted potential? We're going to take a deep dive in the 2007-08 FA Cup season which threw up a number of surprises with the likes of Barnsley, Havant & Waterlooville and Chasetown making it deep in the tournament. It remains the only time where the representation of the top flight was dwarfed by those from below - with three Championship clubs making up the field. The Table Never Lies goes to La Liga and the 2003-04 season where we have a set of double winners to celebrate - no, not Barcelona or Real Madrid - but Rafael Benitez's Valencia.
