Looking forward to beating Man Utd away in the 3rd round πŸ˜€
South. Liverpool reserves would beat them at the moment.

We have beaten Liverpool in the 1940 FA war time cup, 2-1 at Anfield and 2-0 at Holker Street Liverpool had Matt Busby and Bob Paisley in their team.

Hopefully, we will get a decent following down there. If we play to our potential and keep going for 90 plus minutes (or maybe 120) we might see Gareth Ainsworth on his way post-match. I wonder who our penalty-takers would be, if it gets that far? Probably those players who are in the zone at the time.

Another FA Cup blast from the past. I went to that one on a chartered train, We lost 5-0 and had a reserve keeper in goal. I think it was Alan Coglan, who would be 18 or 19 at the time:

I would wager that there is a very good chance of the yellow card count reaching double figures in this fixture. Hopefully nobody sees :sentoff:

I went with my parents on a coach. It was a nightmare day as after we had left Manchester, a pedestrian walked out in front of our coach and was hit (I believe he later died) and we were obviously held up while the police took statements. We arrived in time to see the second half which ended a miserable day.
