The Fa Cup Thread.


Moonrakers

Recommended Posts

League teams in it now then, playing Saturday.

Swindon have a tricky little draw away to Histon, going well in the conference and managed by the long ball specialist John Beck (remember when he managed Cambridge?........ WOoooooosh). So real potential for a right cock-up from us.

Would have been delighted if we had drawn Oxford Utd., and what a shame that Wimbledon AFC didn't get drawn against MK Dons. Here's hoping it may happen in the next round though.

How is your team shaping up for the cup this season then?

John Beck! Now there's a blast from the past I didn't realise he was still in the game . . his Cambridge and Preston sides were something to behold - particular on the old plastic pitch! Aerial bombardment with an ultra bouncy pitch!

And people say the we (Stoke City) are a direct football team - we are positively Ajax of the 70s compared to his Cambridge or Preston teams!

I have to say I am looking forward to the FA Cup 3rd round this year, I wonder if our now Premiership status will in some way improve our absolutely diabolical FA performances? I believe we have one of the worst FA Cup records of ALL league teams - so if we are beat by a lower league team will come as no suprise to us!!! :o

Good luck against Histon.

John Beck isn't manager, Steve Fallon is.

Beck's on the coaching staff.

My team Macclesfield Town are away to non league Harlow in the First Round.

We had a dreadful start to the season losing the first four league matches conceding 14 goals and scoring none.

After that we won four out of the next five but have recently lost four out of the last five !

In the Carling Cup we beat Blackpool 2-0 and held West Ham away 1-1 in normal time,only to lose in extra time.

So you never know what Macc team will turn up but there are usually plenty of goals.

So it could either be Harlow 4 Macc 1 or Harlow 1 Macc 4.......watch it be a dreary 0-0 now !

Neither Star nor ESPN will be covering the FA Cup this season, or for the next few seasons either, in Thailand.

True Sports doesn't appear to be showing the Leeds tie this weekend, but maybe will start coverage when the big boys appear in January, we have to wait and see.

Yeah,I was at that match but standing at the opposite end :o .You won 3-0.Macc did well in the first half but class told in the end.

You had Defoe,Joe Cole,Carrick,James,Sinclair,Winterburn etc.You were a good Premiership team then with up and coming stars in the squad.

Pity it all broke up.Was that when Roeder was manager ?

I'm excited about watching AFC Wimbledon taking on Wycombe in glorious technicolour from Thailand.

They are not my team but I used to live in Wimbledon.

I think most football fans have a softspot for the club given its background and the great strides it is making.

Go on The Dons!

Quite a few upsets yesterday but,fortunately,Macclesfield Town managed to avoid one by winning at Harlow 2-0.

Looking forward to the second round draw.....hopefully a home derby match against either Altrincham,Stockport,Rochdale or Curzon Ashton.
