The FA Cup First Round thread

[Etienne Vermeer]

Not bothering to list all the games here, too lazy.

We have the mouthwatering prospect of Southend at home. Win would be nice and we do owe them for beating us at their place in the league earlier. 2-0.

 

[EricSabin]

Harrow at home. Reckon we'll be in the second round draw, but I expect Harrow to score.

Eastleigh v Swindon (Tonight, 19:45)

[Camborne Gills]

We score a fluky last minute equaliser, and then lose the replay live on BT Sport

 

[Agombar stool]

As I have stated on other threads, I fully expect us to be laughably bad on national tv tonight and surrender meekly in a 2-0 defeat to non-league Eastleigh with an James Constable likely to score.

 

[Lancs@(Bantam)]

Lets just get this wretched weekend out the way so we get back to the real business.

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

Deja Vu all over again

 

[Krazy8]

Do we have to go through this shit? Let's just give Eastleigh a bye and be done with it.

 

[LS Bantam]

Accrington at home, no ta.

 

[joethegill]

I'm stunned our glamour tie isn't on the tv to be honest. Exciting times.

 

[Gashead]

We have a poor record in the cups under DC, whatever happens tomorrow it won't be as brilliant as our home loss to Chesham last year!

Be nice to have a run and a win tomorrow, will happily sacrifice it for the league though as we've done the last two years.

 

[bantamigo]

I'd be actively looking to rest players tomorrow in the premier cup competition as some of them look knackered and we have to play first teamers in the piss pot cup on Tuesday. What a ridiculous situation.

 

[Muzzle]

FA Cup came at right time, we have 7 first teamers out injured

 

[Camdenite]

Yellow, slippery and liked by chimpanzee's....

We've never been on the receiving end of a cup upset in our current guise.

All the ingredients are there tomorrow.

 

[MarioBalotelli]

Hope we lose tbh, FAC doesn't really have the glamour that it used to have.

 

[valefan16]

Huge must win for us at home to Stevenage... after the horror show at Bolton and recent poor form Bruno needs a win or pressure will mount.

 

[Bobbin']

No offence to Scunthorpe but I was only reminded of this game about 3 hours again in my local boozer.

We'll probably lose.

Sitting on the floor of the long train up north, next to the toilets and the other people who haven't reserved tickets. Going to watch the Wombles in the first round of the cup against a team we played 2 weeks earlier and will play again 2 weeks later.

God I love the FA Cup. I hope we get through and get an easier draw. Greatest competition in England, giving small clubs the chance of a big cup tie against the top teams.

Hope you've been checking that there's nowt appearing from under the doors JW....

 

[Leo]

cracking free kick puts Oxford 0-1 in front.

 

[Leo]

0-2 Oxford.....& Merstham were doing no bad since the first goal.

 

[Leo]

Jeezo....turn my back and it's 0-4.

 

[Marked Ox]

Happy with the solid win today. £85k from the game and we gave Merstham our share of the gate receipts.

 

[Casey]

Gas won the first half. Crawley were winning the second and Deadman destroyed the match.

Replays are wonderful, especially when you have lots of injuries.

[Gassy]

Would rather have gone out than drawn.

Normally, a cup run is vital for me, but we've had Chelsea away this this season, that's enough. And actually, since Clarke has taken over, I've noticed how distracting and unwelcome they are.

If youre midtable, theyre the best things in the world. For promotion or relegation candidates though, they can bugger off.

 

[Bobbin']

Into the second round, lovely. Another chance to get a decent away draw.

Good on ya....I'm just happy that Scunthorpe got one which meant my bet was up.....

 

[GFCSludge]

Dismal, abject, embarrassing. Edinburgh has to go.
