FA Cup....anyone fancy Blyth Spartans?

Draw for R3 tomorrow and Blyth Spartans are in the hat, so could we have a repeat of the 1978 debacle at the Vic? I remember it well!

 

We will probably get Man City or Liverpool away

 

We would get through against those two, BS could cause us problems again Nick!!

 

Too true PP.

Bad memories of '78. Without Googling it was the manager Ball or Durban ??

 

Alan A'Court who was caretaker after George Eastham was sacked. Durban was appointed shortly afterwards.

Thank you kind Sir

 

It would be good to get a good run in the cup, that's probably put the mockers on it mind.

 

Yeah right JM
Blyth Spartans away then

 

In a blizzard with a bout of food poisoning thrown in.

 

Anybody for Arsenal at home?

 

A certain route to the 4th Round that would be. Seriously though I hope we do get a home tie.

 

Wrexham at home..that'll do
Hopefully not famous last words

 

Wasn't Mark Hughes a Wrexham fan in his youth?

 

No matter who Mark Hughes supported in his youth. I let it be known that Wenger had a soft spot for Stoke in his youth. He certainly does not love us now!

 

Morning Cris

Ah...the long lost loves of youth, dissolved in the mists of time and experience.

 

More Wrexham / Stoke connections

Thanks Taff.

BTW didn't Mickey Thomas play for / manage Wrexham at some point?
I know he played for us when not detained ay her Majesty's pleasure!

 

Nick - Mickey scored the equalising goal when Wrexham knocked Arsenal out of the FA Cup. Steve Watkins scored the winner - but no-one ever talks about him!

 

Wonder why !!!!

A dodgy geezer

 

Steve then joined Swansea .......... didn't set the World alight here (or the Vetch for that matter!)

As for Mickey, jailed for his part in a counterfeit currency "scam".
