Havant and Waterlooville, especially. In the last round we had Staines Town and Forest Green Rovers as well. And rather West Ham or Spurs than Man Utd or Chelsea.

Hopefully Sven it is early enough in January so that Sven won't have had enough time to bring in any players. I hope Horsham keep their momentum for the trip to Liberty Stadium. If they win, who will they have in the next round? I hope we have a decent cup run, but we’ll have to perform much better than we did against City on the opening day of the season.

It's bound to come down to Man Utv v Chelsea or Liverpool v Arsenal in the final -- the sort of match that'll pull in a billion TV viewers worldwide and will bore the 80,000 in the stadium to death.

It's why the matches are always televised, such as Chesterfield last season. I saw parts of that game too, and in a sense it is what football is all about - 'Torrential rain, a howling gale, ankle deep mud'. I agree though, it does get a bit predictable from now on. Saying that, the 2006 was something to remember. To Martyn - you have to watch out for West Ham, there’s nearly always a surprise there (though not for the fans as we half expect it).
