I was thinking I don’t fancy them away much, long journey and I have been there several times. Then I remembered our George hasn’t been and he would love it. Definitely preferable to someone like Crystal Palace.
Getting a bit ahead of ourselves but I really want Everton away. Never been and running out of time to now.
Given our history, if we make it to the 3rd round has to be Forest, home or away as good as a bye for us, followed by Arsanel, always a good shout for us to dump them out. Just trying to work out who we want in the final now😆
A league two team at home please. And through to the 3rd round and a top premier team at home.
Those wanting Alvechurch, Chippenham etc are tempting fate! Those wanting Shrewsbury at home are just asking for a leahy winner down at our end. As for wrexham, a guaranteed “giant killing” and televised for all to see.
On a selfish note, Huddersfield Away would be great for me. Not only is it a fifteen minute bus ride, by the time of the 3rd round my Old Farts bus pass should have arrived, so it would be free
Lost 2-1 on the sort of muddy pitch you never get nowadays. Everton had won the League two years earlier so had loads of big names.
I think our goal was a late consolation scored by Mick Evans (is that right? he didn’t score many) and Bernie Wright ran them ragged at times, when he wasn’t flattening them with shoulder barges, and they signed him within a week or two of the match.
Big crowd (40,000 plus), and we needed the money.
We’d beaten Bournemouth in the third round which was a cracking win and a bit unexpected as they had McDougall and Boyer. McDougall had scored nine times in one game in the first round.
I’ve been singing it in my head and can make it work both with and without the word rubber.
At least, I hope it’s inside my head, as I’m in the library at the moment.
Yes Evans is right.A great away day that was. In a pub close by the ground beforehand having some lovely football chat with some Everton fans. They were top dogs on Merseyside at that time (I think) and were bragging about their quality footballers compared to Liverpool! I have often wondered how they have felt since because 'the reds" have clearly had the upper hand.
It would be lovely to go there again but I doubt they would put out their full team like they did last time!!
