Weirdly, 3 of their Cup wins have been since Emirates sponsored the FA Cup in 2015....
2015/16, 2016/17 and 2019/20...
...it felt like more!
Maybe cos they'd won it what felt like annually throughout the previous decade!

Good point I don't know
I just checked.... 3.
Was gonna mane some conspiracy comment about favouritism, but it seems they didn't exactly need anyone's help in winning the thing before Emirates took over!
....and if WE can lose at home to Villa...... :contetellmemore:
Thank fuck we didn't draw Stevenage.
Mate, NC aren't in the EL.
Yea reasonable draw defo. I was commentating more on the comment about manure draw. Also what I said about contes record in the cups for us is actually factual and not a moan. I’m just saying hopefully he dies better this time as good opportunity to get into 5th round draw. Unfortunately some people don’t like the facts.
Hope we take it seriously this season / time to put this right (and win the cup of course…)

8 of the 20 Premier League sides have exited so far in Round 3 - Chavs, Newcastle, Everton, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, Brentford and Bournemouth. Loser of Wolves v Dippers replay will make it 9. Too much to hope surely that Woolwich will make it 10 at Oxford tomorrow night.
Bottom line is it’s a draw and tournament already opening up. Chavs have exited in the 3rd round for the first time since 1998. Dippers to make Round 5 will have to negotiate trips to both Wolves and Brighton. Citeh most likely at home to Woolwich in Round 4 so one of those to depart before last 16.
We really should be taking the FA Cup properly serious this year.

Palace as well so 8 out so far. By round 5 they'll be a minimum of 11 prem sides out.
Defeat at Preston incoming then knowing us!
This remark has been mentioned a couple of times over on their forum suggesting I was being serious. They must have heard about how much I love them.
I believe Preston were the inspiration for our kit and nickname originally.
My lad is living in Preston with his missus.
He’s buzzing.
Any spare tickets gladly accepted (slim chance, I know)

Villa fielded only 2 of the same outfield players that played against us. They had one sent off at 85 minutes which resulted in a penalty, then Stevenage scored in the 88th minute while Villa had 10 men.
Comparisons to the Villa side we played dont really stand up.
