I don't think most Londoners know where Yeading is, or that it's so close to the country's beating heart...

I thought it would be somewhere near Didcot.

Not for me! :D

You would think so, but I just don't think they were interested. Sky Sports News went around Yeading asking people if they were going to the game, and half of them didn't know what they were talking about. Then they asked people who they supported. All but one said Man Utd., with the other one saying Tottenham. Which is fair enough I suppose, most people prefer to support a big team rather than the local pub team or equivalent, but when there's a big game on their own doorstep you'd think they'd show a bit of interest and pride in it. Personally, if I lived in a small town with a huge FA Cup tie going on that weekend, I'd be there like a shot. Footy's footy! :D

As for me, I haven't even seen the fucking game yet. It was on pay per view here, "LIVE! at 11am!!" So I turned the telly on at 10:15am, thinking I would pay for it and watch any pre-match guff that there might be, only to find that it was mid-way through the second half. Stupid, shitty satellite providers. And stupid, shitty me for believing them and not checking the kick-off time for myself. So now I'm waiting for the replay. :roll:

Do you think they'll find Bellamy's neck at some point? I'm sure he used to have one.

Jasmine, I saw you peeping
As I pushed my foot down to the floor
I was going round and round the hotel garage
Must have been touching close to 94
Oh, but I'm always crashing in the same car

Boumsong looked about as sharp as a burst balloon. </sour grapes>

We looked pretty much in control. Harper only made two saves and one of those looked like it would hit the post on the replay. They played quite well in the first half, but more enthusiasm than anything else.

Boumsong didn't set the world alight for me either. But it was his first game.

Yeah, just finished watching it. Very comfortable win, and a decent game from both sides. I quite liked the look of our two new players, but you can't really judge them on that game.

Spurs away to West Brom in the fourth round. Could have been worse I suppose :)

And Saints vs Pompey was just begging to happen :D

After the first half of the draw came out I was getting rather excited about a possible Newcastle-Sunderland game. Haven't had a home derby for a while and I miss it. But we're home to Coventry and they're away to Everton, I think.

Gery Megson in for us...

could be good.

Except it is a complete betrayal of Cloughie who once said that Megson couldn't manage his way out of a paper bag.

Megson was on the books at Forest for about ten minutes in 84/85 and Clough essentially refused to play him.

:D

Megson could be good for Forest but I can't help feeling that it may be a little late. That said though, ISTR Palace and Ipswich were doing pretty bad at xmas 2003 and still made the playoffs 8O

Yeah, coz he read my post here.... :P

When teams beat lower league/non-league opposition, the managers never belittle them, and nor should they. But we had umpteen chances at goal, and they had two, both of which were well saved by our 'keeper. Yeading played very well, but it was indeed a comfortable win.
