25/26 - Non Saints Games

[64saint]

Let's hope we don't get drawn against Macclesfield next round.   

Oh hang on we've got to get past Doncaster first 🙄☹️

[spyinthesky]

Just to think Macclesfield only just snuck past Totton in the last round, if I remember correctly.

[whelk]

I was willing Macclesfield on as much as I would Saints and so tense at the end desperate for them to hang on

Biggest shock ever surprised we don’t hold that one 

That’s the luck of the draw.. otherwise i’m sure we would.

[East Kent Saint]

As we know if you are not interested in the FA Cup and put out a B team you are open to ridicule 😄

Have we ever drawn a non-league club? Can't remember it in my lifetime!

Same, I was actually nervous, was weird, but I really enjoyed that.

A weakened Burnley currently second bottom of the PL dicking millwall 5-0 that’s how far off we are

City with 10 goals from 10 shots on target (yes, I know two were own goals).

Exeter only completed 28 passes in the City defensive half. Hard to imagine a more one-sided match between two pro clubs.

Villa are a great side to watch, quick, sharp pass and movement, get it forward quickly.

shearer commented on the offence between them and Spurs who are so much slower getting it forward. Who’d have thought it

Villa got Unai Emery around the time we got Nathan Jones.

The trajectory of both teams since 😢

I must admit enjoying the game and realising how much away we are from ever being a decent Premiership team again.
Why were Spurs playing with names on the back on their shirts, no club badge and the AIA Sponsorship seemingly not showing.?

[East Kent Saint]

Wearing commemoration shirts,  can't remember of what !

It was a good game. Villa are night and day to us, quick pass and movement, get it forward quickly, lots of pace and power. I’m sure they’ll catch up with us at some point as we are at the forefront of the reinvention of the game

I don’t remember either but they were on about how both teams had won the cup so many times as they had the original trophy with spurs colour ribbons on it so might have been something to do with that

Sadly, I am a lot older than 16, so I must have just forgotten this!

Google says it was because they won 1901 FA Cup as a non league club so they wore similar shirts even though they won't win the FA Cup 2026 😄 also Google says there were only Div 1 and Div 2 in those days and the Southern League , that Spurs were in, was a mixture of profesional clubs and part timers but still a strong league . So not such a big gap as CP and Macclesfield sides !
