Braintree managed my Alan Devonshire part of that amazing West Ham side.

Come on Cambridge City!!

You know the media would love that draw in Round 2. That draw involving Cambridge City and York City losing their ties.

Yes I am sure the media would have a field day with that game. I'd rather not play them at the moment, not with the way we are playing at the moment. We'd get spanked!

Plus I would rather see Franchise FC get beat by a team 4 divisions below them!

I think MK Dons had about 30 shots last night, but they still couldn't score. 0-0 and what a fantastic result for Cambridge. There was a good upset today, Chelmsford of the BSS beat League 1 Colchester 3-1.

Massive well done to Chelmsford city upset of the round so far with there 3-1 win over Colchester

Over shout outs go to

Swindon 0-2 Macclesfield - Manged by former Lewes manager Steve King.
Hereford 3-1 Shrewsbury - Hereford in a complete mess of the field so a cup
run is critical to them easy tie in the 2nd round for them

3 non league sides beaten football league sides. Hopefully Braintree can knock of Tranmere tomorrow live in front of the ITV cameras.

Good call Marky! I didn't know whether to laugh or cry!! Good draw for your boys. Good chance of a 3rd round game. Although you're used to fa cup progression!!

Only recently. Until the first of our recent 5th Round runs, we went 7 seasons without winning a single FA Cup tie!

Dorchester of the Blue Square South have just beaten League 2 Plymouth 1-0. Chalk up another cupset!
