FA Cup Thread

I am not sure if they have gone through or not but I see Slough Town has taken their replay to penalties against Mansfield Town. They are from the freaking 8th tier! That would put them two levels below the next lowest team left.

Exceptional

Tonights results mean there will be at least 4 non league teams into the third round. It also means MK Dons will face AFC Wimbledon for the first time. Also, I think this is the 8th time in a row that Bradford have won a penalty shoot out

Barrow 1-0 Guiseley
Bradford P 3-3 Northampton
Braintree 0 - 3 Tranmere
Milton Keynes 6 - 1 Cambridge City
Nuneaton 0 - 2 Luton
Rochdale 0 - 1 Morecambe
Slough 1 - 1 Mansfield P
Walsall 2 - 3 Lincoln

A valiant effort Slough.

Well done.

Now they can get to work on making it to level 7 of the pyramid. They are only in 9th place right now but they do have five games in hand. They are 7-1-3 and I will try to keep track how things go.

TV games;

Sunday 2nd December

Milton Keynes Dons v AFC Wimbledon (Itv 1 - 12:30)
Alfreton Town v Leyton Orient (ESPN - 15:15)

Monday 3rd December

Cheltenham Town v Hereford United (ESPN - 19:45)

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSHHHHHHHHHH

We were dreadful today.

So many missed chances and if it wasn't for Carson's exceptional save at the end we wouldn't even be in the draw tomorrow.

Can't see us winning at Southend either.

Put £10 on Preston knowing Forecast was starting for Gillingham, he didn't let me down either.

Cheltenham on Monday

Although I was dissappointed to see in the telegraph today that ESPN are showing Cheltenham Town v Hereford Town

Good luck m8.

Also, where can I watch Blue Square highlights?

Thanks, we will need it given our injuries

There is no particular place. If you have a Premier Sports subscription (it may be on sky) then you can watch it on there but otherwise you have to rely on the individual clubs. The smaller ones do nothing, the bigger ones upload to youtube but the ones who were if the FL recently and have FL websites (like Hereford) only upload highlights to subscribers.

I see you've sold out your 1353 allocation which is pretty decent. The home turn out will depend on what the draw has to offer at 14:45 tommorow afternoon. We go into the game as obvious favorites but I hope we won't be taking you for granted what with our shite record against you. Interestingly our last win at Whaddon Road against you attracted 2500 fans in a county cup match in 1969. Because of the awful times we've had facing your lot, I hope we f*cking hammer you .

Also who does everyone want in the 3rd round? I'd personally like a league 2 side & below at home, and try to equal our record of making the 5th round back in 2002

Bolton, City or Chelsea away. As for home I'd love United.

We will probably draw a decent team and lose the replay.. If we get a good team tomorrow in the draw then I will try get some more funds together and get down to Southend to get behind the lads.

3rd round draw, when this shit gets interesting again.

I'd love a shit team. Last 3 3rd round draws we've had Leeds, Liverpool and City.

See my above post.

Yeah, you'll do.

We should probably have been classed as a shit team when you drew us though.


I fancy a fairly easy tie against a lower division club that's fairly close by so that we can have a cheaper away day but hopefully get a win. Something like Crewe, Rochdale or Bury away I would quite like.

I was tempted to write "insignificant", but people may have been offended.

Leeds at home would be decent but you would have the whole of our ground.

Bury vs Leeds would virtually guarantee fights.

I'd find Matty and serve him up a couple! Wonder how many tickets we'd get at Bury?

Yeah a load of Man United would come as well so it would definitely be guaranteed..

, I will meet you for a pre match.

4000 I'd estimate at as I would guess that any big team would be given the South Stand.

It's because Leeds fans are nutcases and Bury fans are wanna nutcases.

so excited for MK Dons and Wimbledon

MK Dons will win easily.

You never know.

Wimbledon could be inspired.

Fucking hate MK Franchise.. That message before the match summed up what wankers they are.

Worldy from Gleeson. 1-0 MK.
