Hopefully not the O's being an upset who I expect to get through or at least a draw. Are there any other minnows that might cause an upset and put the League managers job in jeopardy.

Sadly I don't care,FA cup lost it's glamour by design.The big boys set it aside like a cornflake packet toy.
Saying that I hope we go on in the tournament and make £500000 or more because our board deserve it.
FAcup first round was always a special day second only to the FA cup third round draw if we got that far.I doubt I will look at other results once I know the O's result.
Mind you I have got the hump this morning along with the black dog.

The big boys take it a bit more seriously than we sometimes think, one of them usually
wins it after all. Chelsea always have a full house for a home tie. A few years ago they played
Carlisle and Jose Mourino (spelling?) met one of the Carlisle supporters coaches and took them
all on a tour of the stadium completely unannounced. He said he did it because he loves the F. A. Cup
and English football and the fans had come such a long way he wanted to thank them.
I love stories like that.

When Chelsea played Colchester in the FA cup,a friends son was a Colchester player who did not make the subs bench.Jose saw him looking down and ruffled his hair and gave him a cheery comment.

Iwonder how intimidating the Isle of Sheppey will be for Walsall "the saddlers" tonight in their tie with Sheppey as long as the weather doesn't put the kibosh on the tie? has the TV company provided extra lights for the tie as usually the Pro club complains the floodlights are not to the required standard. I read that the Gills have given Sheppey some guidance on the Walsall set up play. As good old Sir Les Patterson would say "The game could be good or could be Sh!!t house!. |

Mind you I have got the hump this morning along with the black dog. Understand your feelings but I care, like you, if only to give NT some respite in putting his hand in his pockets to keep us going. A big club in round 3? Who of us would not fancy a trip to the Emirates, Old Trafford or Spurs, even if they put out their second eleven, which is likely to still be full of internationals. But tomorrow is a real banana skin in my opinion. Carlisle won’t travel down just to make up the numbers and with our lack of bite in front of goal it only takes one decent shot and we are gone. They too dream of a plum round three draw! |

West Ham would be good.about time we had one of those old faishioned Cockney knees up.Teams come out to bubbles then a good rendition of knees up mother brown.Full house and a nice luttle earner for the O's.I would go to that match if the stairs have a rail at the Olympic Stadium.I am sure the West Ham fans would welcome the O's playing there.Most follow the O's as a second team.East London and Essex buddies. |

Sunday 17:30: Charlton v Cray Valley Paper Mills
Come on The Millers!
It'd be an upset, but not for me.
Saturday 17:45: Bromley v Blackpool would be another one.
Come on you Ravens!
