FA Cup 2011-12: 2nd round draw

[TopDeck113]

I like the FA Cup at this stage.  No forgone conclusions, upsets and the fact the fans are up for it.  Then, of course, the big boys - and the Villa - come along and spoil it.

I've just been a sad anorak and done some analysis of our last 54 years of misery.

1 disastrous Final.

4 semi-finals and 6 quarter finals exits

19 3rd round exits (just over a third)

2 1st round exits (3-1 at Torquay!...Torquay!!)

We've lost to the eventual winners on 14 occasions in that period and the runners up 4 times.

Surprise surprise Man United have knocked us out the most, 6 times, followed by Liverpool 5 and Spurs 4.

It really does make for depressing reading.  Time to get "Abide with me" going on the iPod to cheer me up.

If Gloucester City get passed Chelmsford it's Telford at home faintly disappointed with the draw. Pity we didn't get to play the team drawn out before us rather than after.

Remember when we played Gravesend and Northfleet?

Yes they knocked Glos City out a few rounds before.

Cheltenham Town away please.

[Handsworth Wood Villa]

Coventry City away please.

I've just been looking at a Plymouth forum and they're getting really upset about a handful of Stour supporters saying they might have a chance.

That's really funny. My second team are about to play the biggest away game in their history; do you not think I should be interested in the opposition?

A Plymouth based Stourbridge born relative of mine can't wait for this match.

I assume from that comment that i'm supposed to know who your second team is? I hadn't got a clue obviously.

I don't think you have to have the IQ of Stephen Hawking to work it out mate.

My mind has been slowed this evening by multiple drinks, I now see what you mean having re-read the comments.  My mistake, apologies.
