Another year, another FA Cup.
Many qualifying rounds have taken place already, but this weekend sees the first round proper.
I, for one, will be hoping that the non-league sides prosper. Including Kidderminster who take on Blackpool! Reasons best left unsaid in fear of litigation!
Here's the full first round draw!
Eastleigh v Swindon is live on BBC 2, with Mersetham v OIxford United and Southport v Fleetwood on BT Sport 1
Grimnir
A finish of Shakespearean standard at The Den, Romeo snatching the late win for Millwall! Southend must be gutted as it seemed like they deserved a replay too.
One non-league team confirmed in the hat for the next round then!

Can just recall the two which was Accrington winning away to Bradford and Macclesfield shocking Walsall.
Hope some more happen tomorrow.

Harriers will beat us, don't know if that'll count as a shock tho...
Shedender
You think?
I could see Morecambe beating Coventry, Carlisle could suffer defeat at St. Albans but I don't think any upsets will come.

Makes you wonder why the draw has fekked you over so hard when you have to watch stuff like that

2nd Round Draw:
Another home draw for us
gfnx25
Which will be televised, no matter the outcome.
Makes Tuesday's replay at Wimbledon just the tiny bit more interesting. Could be doom or gloom this. Win, and you get money for reaching the 2nd round, money for the televised fixture in the 2nd round and having a reasonable chance of going beyond that and draw a really big fish in round 3.
All academic if we lose of course (which is the likely scenario)

Hoping Barnsley don't bring many fans and knock us out! They stand a good chance, tbh,
Was hoping Ipswich would get someone bigger than Lincoln so I could go watch a game of football!

We're at home, at least. We haven't had a cup run in ages, and it's a great chance to get one going.

For the Liverpool game or the Everton game?
Got a ticket for the Liverpool game myself. Parking wise last time we drove we parked right outside the stadium in a little booth watched by a guy, but it was like 5 or 10 quid and getting out was a nightmare.

Have Arsenal put in a special request with the FA to shorten games to 45 minutes (preferably the 2nd half) been absolutely shocking today again
Number 1
Oh well. Would've been nice to see an Eastleigh or Stourbridge go through as well, but maybe not this time. Especially in Eastleigh's case, given that Brentford spanked them.

That season was the last time we won an away FA Cup tie as well.
We're not brilliant at this competition are we?
No goal though. Credit to Plymouth getting themselves a replay and presumably more TV money out of it.

Lots of good prospects in that team. Payne was excellent against Wigan and he always looks a livewire. Good to see him get two goals, as well as having one ruled out for offside and another cleared off the line. Brown looked very good on debut. Lolley looked a bit ring-rusty after being out since August, but once he's up to speed again he'll be a big player. Stankovic, with time, is going to be an outstanding defender and I suspect he'll be a full international by the end of the calendar year and be the first name on the teamsheet. Holmes-Dennis was also very assured at the back and seems to be growing with every game he plays (that's 5 starts now). The young keeper, Coleman, looked very good again, although again he wasn't really tested, simply having to come and catch a couple and make a good punch at one point - even so, good to see a keeper command his area so well when he's only a kid. We had seven 20-year-olds in the starting XI, plus Lolley, Hudson, Whitehead and Cranie, which can only bode well for the future.

You beat us in 2012 didn't you? Though we had Steve Kean in charge then, so maybe it doesn't count.....

You're absolutely correct, I apologise. I meant our last away FA Cup win at the first attempt came in 2006.
Number 1
Tbf that one required a FIFA Goal of the Year contender and a 95th minute strike to come from behind and win a game Blackburn lead for a long period.
But yeah - no away win in the FA Cup since 2006, and only one Third Round tie won first time in that time period too. Shit record either way.
Number 1
Tottenham v Wycombe
Derby v Leicester
Oxford v Newcastle or Birmingham
Sutton or AFC Wimbledon v Cambridge or Leeds
Plymouth or Liverpool v Wolves
Southampton or Norwich v Arsenal
Lincoln or Ipswich v Brighton
Chelsea v Brentford
Manchester United v Wigan
Millwall v Watford
Rochdale v Huddersfield
Burnley or Sunderland v Fleetwood or Bristol City
Blackburn v Barnsley or Blackpool
Fulham v Hull
Middlesbrough v Accrington Stanley
Crystal Palace or Bolton v Manchester City
Some ties are a bit more interesting than R3, but still fairly unremarkable.
