Love cup upsets

Norwich 0-1 Luton last season must go down as one of the greatest all of time

Hereford 1-0 Newcastle is one no one can forget.

Histon 1-0 Leeds

Sutton beating Coventry, think it was?

As far as potential upsets this time around go (and by upsets, I don't mean League Two side beating League One side, or Conference side beating League Two side) I would put my pennies on;

Boreham Wood v Carlisle United
Bishop's Stortford v Northampton Town
Hednesford Town v Crawley Town ( )

Chance of being on the tv Marky, you could get the classic Sunday lunchtime game on ITV!

Nah, ITV will pick Oldham v Wolves, because Oldham beat Liverpool last season and Wolves used to be famous.

ITV like to visit non league clubs though.

They also like to pick whoever the biggest clubs are. Ratings and viewing figures are more important. Hence Man U's FA Cup ties always picked.

True, i would rather see a non league club vs a football club though! What the fa cup is all about!

Hednesford v Crawley is actually a regular fixture from the Southern League before we won promotion to the Conference. Here we are, three divisions apart and it's being spoken of as a potential giant killing

I remember seeing Crawley vs Hednesford back in the day! Rob Collins was leading the line for Crawley!

Shortwood United beat Aldersh*t at the Rec to earn a home tie against Port Vale! There's your TV game.

Aldersh*t,

Bishop Stortford vs Northampton has been decided as the ITV game at 2pm on Sunday 10th November.

BT Sport will get 2 live games.

If four NHL results go my way tonight then Aldershot let me down on a potential £250.

That must have been a great game. I too remember Hereford beating Newcastle in an FA Cup tie, but it couldn't have been the same match because Hereford won that one by 2 - 1.



Ahhhh.... they don't make cup ties like that any more.

Na that is the game im thinking of mate, i just forgot the storyline  

BT Sport games

Friday 8th November - AFC Wimbledon vs Coventry City

Glad this is on telly. The right decision. Also the lowest ranked side left at home to one of the highest ranked sides currently in the Cup.

Let me guess. Former Cup winners v Former Cup winners? Even though AFC Wimbledon acknowledge themselves as a separate entity to the original Wimbledon meaning they aren't former Cup winners? Or is everyone still going with the charade that a side formed in 2002 won the FA Cup in 1988?

Really wish the media wouldn't bill this as 2 former cup winners. It's former cup winners vs AFC Wimbledon. We were formed in 2002, we house the trophies that Wimbledon FC won bit that doesn't mean we won them

AFC Wimbledon 1-3 Coventry - No repeat of Franchise FC vs AFC Wimbledon this year

Bristol Rovers 3-3 York - Cracking game it sounds like.

No excuses for Crawley Town today at Hednesford. Potential cupset there, but a strong team picked.

Biggest upset of the day

Macceslfield 4-0 Swindon - Swindon love to bottle this competition, don't they.

Tamworth 1-0 Cheltenham

Welling 2-1 Luton is kind of one - Luton won't be pulling of the biggest upset in FA Cup history like they did last year

Come on Bishop Stortford

Eff you!!! COME ON YOU COBBLERS!!!!

Bishop Stortford 0-2 Northampton. Game over.

GOAL !

Bishop Stortford 1-2 Northampton. You never know.

Shortwood 0-4 Port Vale

No Major upset there. Micky Adams men go marching on to round 2.

Replays on the TV, both on BT Sport

Monday 18th Brackley Town vs Gillingham

Wednesday 20th Gateshead vs Oxford United

YES!!!

Biggest upset of the 1st round so far

Brackley Town 1-0 Gillingham.  

Still have no idea why Gillingham sacked Martin Allen for Peter Taylor, Paul Scally is one of the worse chairman's in football.

Big upset tonight in the local derby

Scunthorpe 1-2 Grimsby Town

Also arguably the biggest club in the competition so far are out Wolves crashed out to a 2-1 home defeat to Oldham, who we all know had a superb run last season.

Match off. About an hour before kickoff, meaning the Oxford fans had already got to Gateshead! Feel sorry for them, even if they're Oxford fans

Cambridge 2-1 Bury last night.

What a game on BT Sport on Sunday, chance of a huge FA Cup upset

Cambridge United vs Sheffield United
