Looking forward to beating Man Utd away in the 3rd round 😀
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:
