Like I said on t'other forum, it's a good draw. In fact, I said that twice but most of those who replied conveniently missed that bit and only noticed where I'd said the "oh no not again" bit

Three of Sutton's last five FA Cup encounters with League sides will have been against Notts Co.
The other two were against Hereford.
And we haven't beaten either of them yet!

1) Well done, Gateshead. Was it FEROCIOUS? I overshot Blyth a bit and ended up in Edinburgh. I had a good time in Edinburgh though. From what I can gather from the match reports we simply outplayed them with a brand of football that emerged from the mean streets South of the Tyne and advocated early on by Gazza, Waddle etc. They get a cash boost from a nearly 3k crowd and a (much needed) chance to concentrate on the league. Good tie next with either Hinckley or Tamworth at home, each club given patronage by my two favourite ex portallers, DJ Hinckley and the Gentleman that is Esaj. Hope he can make it up, if he's not doing owt.

A few things. 1) Well done, Gateshead. Was it FEROCIOUS? About as ferocious as a slightly annoyed kitten nibbling your finger. I don't get us, I really don't. If you mean was there any nawtiness then apparently a couple of punches were exchanged in a pub before hand and supposedly some Gateshead supporters were looking for fights post match. Not sure how true that last one is mind. The police were out in force patrolling the mean streets of Blyth before hand. One person who arrived on one of the Gateshead buses was well known to police already as he was banned from every ground in the country and thus was taken away. Oh and I believe the security operation meant no bus was allowed to leave Gateshead until 1pm and some of them were held at South Beach (South part of Blyth) for a short while. Which seems kind of unfair to me. I think the police helicopter patrolling the area around Croft Park was a bit ott as well. Anyway, bucking follocks.

Commiserations to samd - that sounds pretty painful. Good luck to all in the next round - although of course some of our teams will be playing each other I overshot Blyth a bit and ended up in Edinburgh. I had a good time in Edinburgh though. I absolutely adore Edinburgh. Looks like I'll be spending another Christmas there this year don't tell the pineapple, he currently hates me No he doesn't. He is a (usually very funny) wind-up merchant. I think he's taking things too far on the North forum and it isn't as funny as he thinks, but I'm staying out of it.

I'd much rather pretend it doesn't exist than concentrate fully on it and it's nightmarish collection of 21 teams who are virtually all better than us

Commiserations to samd - that sounds pretty painful. Not painful as such, just disappointingly inevitable. I think it's worse when you aren't so much gutted at a defeat as you are 'bleurgh'. What once was is now no longer.

Once every three years is not enough for a typical red blooded male Sal!
