Farnborough Town

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Good luck to Farnborough in the fourth round against the Woolwich Gypsies. Hope Lenny gets a hat-trick.

 

Just a quickie for GHA - who would you be supporting had it been St Albans instead of Farnborough playing at Highbury in three weeks??

Who have Spurs got, Colin? Oops! sorry! I've just remembered. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

 

C'mon you Horns.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Hmmm. The less said about that the better <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

 

I think Watford stand every chance of progressing though. Just a shame that The [****!!****]/ManUre/Liverpool/Leeds/Chelsea have all got relative walkovers. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

The Farnboro board has gone ballistic about this: http://www.confguide.com/ftfc.mpl

 

I wouldn't rule out WHU causing an upset, and possibly Crystal Palace too.

I just waiting to see if the Arsenal defence can do as tight a marking job on Rocky Baptiste as I managed in last season's tightly fought reserve team fixture. I'm going to stick my neck out and guess they probably can, though it was reassuring to see the Darlo defence couldn't prevent him scoring at the weekend either, and I did regard our clash of heads as something of a personal achievement given the 2 foot height advantage he held (I came off worst).

[Colin Zeal EFM]

I see it's been switched to Highbury then.

 

Personally I see that as greed from the board, although it'll be probably be argued that the police have insisted on it.

 

At least Dagenham and Stevenage played their big cup matches at their home grounds, and didn't sh*t on their fans.

Although would you want your town full of smug gunners.

 

I missed the first couple of ties, who did D+R get (if they win the replay)

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Dagenham are at Norwich or Brighton. I think they stand every chance of making the fifth round.

 

 

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Oh - and our town is already full of smug gunners. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Fourth round draw

Norwich or Brighton v Plymouth or Dag & Red

Southampton v Cambridge Utd or Millwall

Walsall or Reading v Wimbledon

Blackburn v Bolton or Sunderland

Rochdale v Cardiff or Coventry

Fulham v Charlton

Sheffield Utd v Ipswich

Shrewsbury v Chelsea

Stoke v Bournemouth or Crewe

Brentford v Grimsby or Burnley

Farnborough v Arsenal

Manchester United v West Ham

Gillingham or Sheffield Wednesday v Leeds

Wolves v Leicester

Watford v West Brom

Crystal Palace v Liverpool

(Ties to be played on 25/26 January)

[Colin Zeal EFM]

So having beaten Stockport, we would've played Plymouth, then Dagenham followed by Brighton or Norwich.

 

Hardly awe-inspiring is it.

 

 

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Wasn't that almost like your bizarre prediction that took us to a final defeat against Spurs! I remeber Norwich in there

[Colin Zeal EFM]

I think you're right!

 

Well, neither Spurs nor St Albans will be in the final this year!!

 

 

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Anyone popped over to the Aldershot site yet just to rub it in.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

I wonder who Aldershot play on the same day. Probably some load of rubbish, whereas their local rivals are playing the league and FA Cup double winners (God, it pained me to write that!)

 

 

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Aldershot play Ford Utd - ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!

 

That is why Farnborough never seem that bothered about Aldershot and Aldershot hate Farnborough with a passion!!!

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Quality!!

 

 

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

My predictions in bold

 

Norwich or Brighton v Plymouth or Dag & Red

Southampton v Cambridge Utd or Millwall

Walsall or Reading v Wimbledon

Blackburn v Bolton or Sunderland

Rochdale v Cardiff or Coventry

Fulham v Charlton

Sheffield Utd v Ipswich

Shrewsbury v Chelsea

Stoke v Bournemouth or Crewe

Brentford v Grimsby or Burnley

Farnborough v Arsenal

Manchester United v West Ham

Gillingham or Sheffield Wednesday v Leeds

Wolves v Leicester

Watford v West Brom

Crystal Palace v Liverpool

 

[GHA EFM]

Zeal, if I've told you once, I've told you a million times, I would support the Saints over Arsenal any day of the week. Born and bred, you see. October 6th, 1984, St. Albans City General Hospital, Block C, Row 21, Seat 32, silver spoon and all.

 

And it's Leonard. Check USM2.

 

HB. I thought Baptiste got his name on the scoresheet??? From what I can recall, Crawshaw (2), De Souza (2), Baptiste, Jones and Darlington all got in on the action.

 

Fair's fair, I'll hold my hands up to two of the goals, by the way.

 

webbo. Is the Farnborough Reserves - City Reserves match report still on the site?

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Is it possible we signed De Souza and Crawshaw on the strenth of that reserve game???
