How d'you feel about not playing them ?

Glad all over

No fucks given.

Got over the Cheltenham game the second Smiths winner went in against City.

This.

Also, with how well our league is going and the depth of our squad, the cup is a distraction (for this season at least).

Pfffft even Jerel Ifil scored against Palace.

The feeling of cup 'shocks' don't linger like they used to.

Wouldn't have got them anyway as would have had a different ball number.

Move on folks. Nothing to see here.

Wouldn't...as how the FA does the draw.

But anyway, it's all over, gladly !!

We would have gotten another ball because it's sorted alphabetically, right?

To an extent yes, all league teams are sorted alphabetically but non league sides come in afterwards I think and not sure how they are sorted. Could be wrong though?!

What happens is that the Prem and Championship clubs are given their numbers alphabetically (1-44). Numbers 45-64 is all dependent on where you were drawn in the previous round, with the first tie drawn in round 2 being 45, the second tie being 46, etc., so we would've been drawn against Palace if we had beaten Cheltenham, and then Dover....but we didn't !!

This is all a bit of a moot point really :(. As fun as draws are when you get someone good, I'd rather have the ability to get promoted and play a lot of very good sides week in week out.

And the fact we're looking to bring in a new central defender says to me "We can afford one more player" and not "We're selling in January." I am predicting we'll send Bell back to Birmingham at the end of his loan spell and replace him with a new CB.

Is that before or after Stephens goes back in January.

Clearly we've sold NT  to the slave traders (Tansmedia)

I don't think he'll go back. He won't make it in the first team and we play a similar game to Southampton.


This is also true. He said "I can't wait to get out of Swindle."

:D

Rubbish thread.  :crash:


One thought though, the next time we do play Palace at home, and Palace score a goal:

Will the Crystal Palace anthem 'Glad all over' blare out through the county ground speakers as Palace celebrate?
and will the thousands of home fans in the Arkells, Don Rogers and even the fucking Town End so help me god, gleefully clap along to it?  :hmmm:

If there must be music how about

2-4-6-8 by Tom Robinson

Clappy enough I suppose

Would have worked when we played Bury at the CG, more or less exactly 35 years ago.  Probably around that time it was released as well.

Ah, the game before we dicked the mighty Arsenal

The 35th anniversary of which is tomorrow.

What a week that was: Town 8 Bury 0, Town 4 Arsenal 3. And London Calling was released. Happy days.

Highest scoring game I have ever been to watch with STFC. The Bury keeper John Forrest was named in the team of the season the year before and he had a mare against us.

Mine also.
Andy Rowland was great mates with Forrest as well.
Scored 2 I believe but McHale scored a belter in the SB.
4-0 at halftime if I recall.

Arsenal away was a great game.

Yep we had recently signed handy Andy from them and Forrest played a lot of games for Bobby Smith.

Will never forget big Billy Tucker scoring at Highbury.
