    At the moment I could see us losing at St Mary’s.

    The problem is they look on the up while we're on the decline and you know what that usually means...

    Nah we'd smash them at home. I think.

    I'd probably feel sick in the fortnight leading upto it mind.

    If you look at the values of the squads and wage bill it should be no contest, comparatively we have been shopping at Harrods and they have been shopping at Lidl.
    BUT if it was at Nottarf I would possibly make us the underdogs as I think our current team would possibly bottle it in the hateful atmosphere like in 2005.

    Few shocks today...

    Oxford City got themselves a replay after drawing at Tranmere.

    Stockport County beat Yeovil away.

    Maidstone beat Macclesfield.

    Happy days. Watched it in a pub in Warwick with the gal. A comfortable, professional win in which we avoided complacency and therefore being a victim of a giant killing...

    I reckon you'd probably beat us in the FA Cup, but Lidl is awesome so shopping Lidl is no bad thing!

    You've gotta win a second round game first, how many times you managed that since 2012/13? ;)

    Once. I think since about 2010 this is our second season when we haven't been knocked out in our first game.

    You did have two finals in 3 years though winning one so can hardly complain...

    Yeah we probably used up all our luck for the decade between 2008 and 2010 so had to make do with getting knocked out against Aldershot and such to make up for it.

    Did Aldershot make it through? What are the odds of playing them again? And they always win against PFC in the FA Cup.

    Anyone still feeling aggrieved about our disallowed goal should avoid seeing Port Vale's FA Cup goal just now

    Tonight is the South American champions league equivalent first leg. First time ever Boca Juniors v River Plate in the final. On BT and Sky 422 (free sports). Postponed for last night.

    It’s going to be mental
