I'm sorry, you lost me with this sentence. A complete vanity project, grubby little club. Perhaps I understand the vanity project bit but the “grubby little club”? Why? UTG! Financial doping at any level is grubby in my opinion. |

Whoa there, I merely used randomly selected sides with 'strange' names which had been knocked out, not to open WW III and a slanging match. I think the eloquent rowdenhill 's address of young @chewbacca is an affectionate one, Igitur , teasing between old friends or former lovers, as likely. Not a Scooby who they are tbh, not overly arsed either... |

We've played Walsall in the FA Cup on three previous occasions, winning at home in 1927-28, losing away in 1948-49 and winning away in 1964-65.
In all three ties, though, we were in the same League division as Walsall at the time.

Now you say financial doping, needs explaining. Not saying you’re wrong, just that it’s easy to accuse, but if you accuse then it’s best to evidence it. UTG! |

The lady doing the draw really struggled for a bit, and didnt even pick up on the DC warsaw/rovers link.

Indeed, you just can't write it sometimes, overall we have played Walsall 103 times, Won 41, Lost 39 and drawn 23. Looking forward to this game, going up against a former manager adds a bit of spice. |

She had a mare at the start! She did get the Grimsbury manager correct though.. I gave up with her after the Rovers draw. She is slightly better on football commentaries, but ruined the Danny Baker Show I used to listen to on the way to the game on Saturdays when she took over from Issy Clarke. Anyway, back to a rather intriguing tie... |

An Essex Senior League team paying silly money for players while not owning their own ground or actually having a home town. They’re a fad club. I stand by it. |

Mind you between 1939 and 1996 neither did we own our own ground.😉 And I’m sure you’re right about being a “fad”club. UTG! |

Wouldn’t mind D and R, Yeovil or possibly Eastleigh, good Conference teams but wouldn’t mind reconnecting with them for a match. And I suppose now it doesn’t really matter if it’s home or away. Is it a national draw or do they do northern and southern halves? I think it’s national but not certain. Cray Valley, South Shields and Skelmersdale might be too much of a banana skin, but we could get some publicity out of it if it were one of those three. At least it won’t be DC managing us in the FA Cup!! 😉
UTG!You're psychic! Let's hope DC maintains his cup record. |
