[TopBoy]

Morecambe at home

 

[Ballinpigpubs13]

Oxford city and win, so at least we have done some sort of double this season !

 

[Berks_Blade]

Either Maidenhead or Aldershot away would be handy.

 

[Oreyt]

Sutton Utd away.

 

[MunXy]

AFC Totton away.
tbh i havnt even looked where it is but sounded new n good.

MunXy

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Orient. Might actually get to this one!

 

[Caveblade]

Luton Town at home so I can take my mate the hatter.

 

[BladeFisher]

AFC Totton away.
tbh i havnt even looked where it is but sounded new n good.

MunXy

Near Southampton

 

[Come from away]

A home game and I might make it or at least we might get through. Moorecomb would be great!

 

[Jim Chimmerney]

Anybody but Fleetwood !!

(and a straight red for Foxy for using the 'banana' quote )

 

[Jehovah]

Pigs at home

 

[SwissBlade]

The bloke on radio Sheffield said as he was building up the pigs match v morecombe:

" and Sheffield Wednesday will be looking to avoid a giant killing tomorrow"

There are no giant killings in the 1st round of the fa cup!

 

[Jehovah]

I wouldnt be that suprised if Morecambe beat the pigs.

 

[alcoblade]

Morecombe - never been, and it means they'd stuffed the pigs


UTB

 

[Rustyblade]

A 'potential' banana skin? How does that work? Is it something like 'pre-order'?

 

[SotonBlade]

Totton, Yeovil, Bournemouth, Salisbury....i'm not fussy!

 

[Guesty]

A 'potential' banana skin? How does that work? Is it something like 'pre-order'?

I'm glad someone else thinks that about pre order. Surely you're still ordering it?

 

[blade too long]

so , its Torquay at home , cracking

might get Ms Chamberlain up here

 

[sitwell]

So its not regionalised then ?

 

[Guesty]

If think you'd have heard the uproar if the FA Cup was regionalised or seeded! Though I believe it was mooted at some point last year, by twats.

 

[blade too long]

well if it is the regions got bigger

havent they fecked it up enough , no semi or final replay , no 2nd replays,

 

[Guesty]

I can see the sense in no Final replay (although to be fair I can't really remember when there was, which might have coloured my judgement). What annoys me is the lack of Semi Final replay, and the fact that they are all at Wembley!

 

[blade too long]

I was lucky enough to be at the Brighton Man Utd final which ended 2-2 , it deserved a replay , yes it was an anti climax
but the finals that have gone straight to penalties to me lack the grandeur and respect , most noticeably west ham 3 liverpool 3 , that warranted a replay , not the sordid penalty shoot out that ensued

 

[sitwell]

Me and my mates asked the question , name the last 3 winners of the FA cup yesterday. None of us could ,whereas you could probably name every winner from 1970 - 1990. I think its because the semis are at Wembley and the final is now no longer a unique day in the football calender.I would rather see us play a semi at Old Trafford , Villa Park or the Emirates oe even the Millennium than Wembley although actually I would be happy to see us win a semi at The DVS.

When was the fake second round?

Meeting the players, Cup Final 'It's A Knockout', those were the days

Unfortunately, the FA Cup final is just another game for the top half of the Prem and I can't see it returning to anything like what it was. Even International games these days have been pushed down the pecking order by the Champions League, 'reality shows' and twitter !

In those days, you didn't see 'live' games unless you actually went. A friend of mine has 'seen' every Man U game for 10 years without seting foot in a single ground which says it all.
