Well as we get closer to the 3rd round of the FA Cup, and the mighty Saints entering (to play palace or Sunderland probably), the excitement builds. I still get excited about the FA Cup, even if not quite as magic as it used to be as a kid, I still look forward and excited about the 3rd round draw and the upsets that come with it.
Here is the second round draw - All to kick off the weekend of 2nd December, who will go into the 3rd round draw. .
Friday 2nd December 2016

Blackpool v Brackley

Charlton Athletic v Milton Keynes Dons
Chesterfield v Wycombe Wanderers
Luton Town v Solihull
Plymouth Argyle v Newport
Port Vale v Hartlepool United
Shrewsbury Town v Fleetwood
Sutton United v Cheltenham
Sunday 4th December 2016
Curzon Ashton v Wimbledon
Bolton Wanderers v Sheffield United
Millwall v Braintree Town
Stourbridge v Northampton Town
Cambridge v Coventry
Notts County v Peterborough United
Woking v Accrington Stanley
Eastleigh v Halifax
Bristol Rovers v Barrow
Monday 5th December 2016
Lincoln City v Oldham Athletic
I quite fancy us getting Barrow or Carlisle away, or Eastleigh (who have a great chance of getting through) home or away. Or an away game to any non league club. - Solihull just won against Yeovil on pens.
Well here we go with the FA Cup again. Macclesfield got a reply out of Oxford after a 0-0 draw, so they both go into the hat for the 3rd round.
Ties I am looking out for are Carlisle at home to a league higher Rochdale, so be a test to see how close they are to the next level. Also fancy Carlisle away in the 3rd round for Saints.
Also hope Charlton win along with all the non league sides.
