FA Cup Thread

[Alan Partridge]

For a club that doesn't take the FA Cup seriously, you sure do get your knickers in a twist over an obvious wind-up attempt.

Everyone needs to chillax out

[Harry Carry]

cheers gr8 m8!

[Alan Partridge]

well you were getting ber8ed for no reason especially when it was obvious b8.

Apparantly Reading don't enter until the 3rd round m8 so we have to w8 until then, we might get Chelsea, that would be gr8.

[LUX]

I hope we get Harrog8.

no particular reason.

[Silver Fox]

The last round before the 1st round proper was drawn today and Hampton got Brackley Town at Home, should be a victory but you can never tell in the cup.

Too true chap

[Harry Carry]

I remember when the draw use to take place at Lancaster G8.

[T.R.O.L.I.]

Those were gr8 days, m8.

[Avon Royal]

I can't w8, it's gonna be gr8 we'll win it this year - I think it's f8.

[Harry Carry]

I don't think so as Reading FC don't r8 the FA Cup.

[T.R.O.L.I.]

Indeed - Hampton 0 Brackley 1

[T.R.O.L.I.]

Every year, I follow the progress of the most local team to me as my FA Cup "other team" and once they get beaten I move on tho their conquerers - this year's teams (in order) have been Reading Town FC, Brockenhurst FC, Fleet Town FC (2 rounds) and now AFC Totton. AFC Totton are away at Grays in the 4th qualifying round so I'll probably be switching allegiances again.

And so it's onto Grays - away to Carlisle in the 1st round proper. Looks like I'm the kiss of death ths season

Would be nice to get Oxford or Swindon in the 3rd round...

[Dirk Gently]

AFC Wimbledon (in Round 1 for the first time ever) have got a nice home tie with Wycombe.

Sadly not MK Dons, though, which would have been a cracker and is destined to happen one day.

Look it up, I'm not sure. Wikipedia is supposed to be good for that sort of thing.

it is of no import to me.if it helps,neither of the aldershot clubs that have featured in the league structure have won the f.a cup either.

[LUX]

yes,that does help, thanks Frimley.

[cmonurz]

And as Reading is a football club (singular), it should be 'Has Reading ever won the F.A. Cup?' Note too the capital letters, as Reading is a place name, F.A is an abbreviation, and Cup is part of the title of a competition.

You've spent so long thinking about Tories today Frimmers your head is all of a mess.
