I'm wearing me old Crombie, StaPrests and loafers as I type!

Fair go - It popped into my head having lain dormant for heaven knows how many years.

'don't you go where the Husky's go' Frank Zappa RIP

Yes, 'calm down dear.' He seems so desperate to make an impact at times, he ends up in a tangle, but has skill. I wish him well and feel we have a wee gem here.

Steady snow in Taunton and heading your way. http://www.raintoday.co.uk/

Reached Taunton for the first time this winter and heading Southampton way. But Summer's coming!

I think your post sums up the feeling and experience for so many clubs who are participating in this competition. My local team Taunton Town exist on a shoestring so I am well aware of the importance of potential paydays that occur once a year in the FA Cup. I'd certainly like to see a payment system weighted towards the lower division/non-league clubs and I'm sure a lot of us would like to see more of the qualifying rounds, which would give the FA a chance to advertise the competition earlier and allow more money to go where it is most needed. What adds insult to injury is that the larger or 'big four' clubs are the one's most guilty of showing disrespect to the competition by playing weakened teams. I fail to understand why such matches as West Ham v Arsenal and in the 4th round Stoke v Arsenal are chosen for live transmission in these early rounds, when there are matches which are more deserving in terms of the 'giant-killing' factor which we all love (Villa v Brighton for instance). Notts County v Forest Green does not even figure on the FATV. All the best to to you and your club for the future (Guildford)?

http://www.thefa.com/TheFACup/FACompetitions/TheFACup/NewsAndFeatures/2010/4RTVTies.aspx The clubs that are selected for live FA Cup TV encounters are paid significant amounts of money (see web page), basically because they have been lucky enough to have been picked for live transmission as the result of a random cup draw throwing up 'interesting' ties. Is this fair or should this FA money be distributed to those that need it ie. grass roots development and/or the lower division/non-league clubs? Imagine the impact of that money on, say Forest Green Rovers (not selected) compared to Chelsea, Man City, Spurs, Arsenal and (probably) Liverpool. Discuss.

Are your mates ITK?

So did my feckin teeth!

I think I'm right in saying that the only player AP has signed who had rave reviews was Rickie. I'm not sure how much this counts, tbh. Opinions seem to vary like mad.

Don't think so. His name is Spiridos and he's definitely alive.

Donnelly, Connolly, Lambert and Ward, Sounds like the roll call at Trumpton fire station.

Heidar Helguson - Watford in for him too on SSN. http://www.qpr.co.uk/page/ProfilesDetail/0,,10373~11658,00.html

It makes me livid. Everytime I hear that someone doesn't know how the draw works I go off on one.

But we won't - having witnessed the way we've got this far, I believe our name is on the Cup this year - no, really!

I don't know, I've never had it done, what's it all about? - do they not numb your mouth beforehand?

2 fillings - no problem Ultrasonic de-scale - FFS it's like wiring your teeth into the mains! Is this some kind of 'in joke' with dentists?

I've got my ST seat coz I brought it home with me.
