FA Cup Trail

Definitely - it is uber-tinpot if that was any indicator!

So you reckon Aggborough has the best food in the world?! Gah. Their soup forcibly reminded me of vomit and their cottage pie was bog-standard microwave fodder. Then again, this was 10 years ago, but they were claiming to have the best food in the world then as well. You have obviously never tried Newport County's excellent home-made meals.

Your blog is first-class as always, but this is the very best:

I'm going to have a rant now because this winds me up - people will question why I'm going to some "random match", "in the middle of nowhere" between teams "no-one has ever heard of" and they will tell me it's pointless and a waste of time and ask me why I'm bothering. The same people will then spend 90 minutes watching England and complain at how awful they are. I already know that an England game against Montenegro is going to be crap so I don't watch it. These people who should by now know it's going to be a load of rubbish, still watch it, complain and then tell me that a three-three thriller in Radcliffe is a waste of time! It really pisses me off.

Amen to that!

But I can't believe you went to Tipton and COMPLETELY FAILED to point out that it is an anagram of "tinpot."

Some of us didn't get the chance to sample Newport's food on the grounds that we weren't allowed in their clubhouse. Ho hum, the trials and tribulations of supporting a big club.

Personally, I loved the Aggborough soup.

It looked like vomit, it smelled like vomit and it tasted like vomit.

On reflection, it probably was vomit. You clearly got the real thing.

Thanks a lot

The Aggborough soup is delicious. It might look like vomit, but it's lovely!!! Having said that I think I was a bit over the top becuase the food certainly isn't as good as it was 4-5 years ago.


I promise to get the anagram in next round!!

Last time we went to Newport, they wouldn't let us in the clubhouse either. I guess that means the mighty Carshalton are as big as AFC Wimbledon?

[ambersalamander]

We were only allowed in by appointment. This means that we are as big as AFC Wimbledon, but the difference is that they like us

Nice work Daza. I love the idea of a keeper called Whatsize.

He was at TFC for a while. The 'Whatsize, is our goalkeeper' chant didn't prove popular. I suspect people didn't get it...

[Sultan of Cannock- SRFC]

By coincidence, i've got Dan Whatsize in my SRFC reserve squad in Football Manager 2009.

When i signed him i got the message that the clubshop had lots of kids asking for the name "Whatsize" to be put on the back of their shirts.

It's always interesting to see where my cyber-players are at in real life.

[ambersalamander]

Whatsize shirts?
