FA Cup 3rd Round - Who do we want?

Harsh. On Woking.

 

What happened to your Maidenhead affiliation?

A third/third/third scarf?

 

Reading their forum is quite flattering. They're very excited and happy with the draw. Makes us feel like we're a proper Premier League club!

 

I'm shocked that they even have a forum. Let's be honest, 99.9% of them support someone else.

Cant stand them, hope the game isn't on TV and they are thrown out of the competition for fielding an illegible plumber instead of a barista in the last round.

 

Hopefully Buzaglo won't be fit.

 

I'd be devastated if I supported a team like Woking and ended up having to play our lot, how utterly disappointing. Hopefully they batter us and get the big-tie they deserve against a top 4 team in the round after.

 

I agree with these sentiments entirely. I'm thinking about not going to the match just to deny them my ticket income. Either that or I'm going to make a terrible mess of the toilet, thus negating my ticket price with an elevated cleaning bill.

 

It's obviously being happy that keeps you going!

 

When did we become such Premier League big boys that we patronise smaller teams? Let's face it half of our season ticket holders support Arsenal etc.

 

I have a number of 'local' non-league teams I follow, Slough, Maidenhead and Burnham are the main three, probably in that order at the moment. Due to where I live now, Woking are in fact one I am starting to keep tabs on, even though they are Slough's (or were) quite big rivals. Hence I was pretty chuffed with this draw!

No scarfs though I'm afraid.

 

I

I got 55/1 E/W from Paddy Power at the beginning of the season and used a free £20 bet, so hoping for a great run this season!

 

One of the perks of being in the ‘best league in the world’.

AND ITS LIVE!!!

 

So hang on....you have a league table of clubs you support that can move up and down in preference in your head?

 

The opening 15 seconds of football in that video are a joy to behold.

 

Yeah local clubs, depending on what's going on and when I can get to see them. That ok?

If I had to make a choice out of the three it would be Slough as I used to go more or less every week with my old man when Watford weren't at home in the 90's.

 

Local rag isn't impressed with the draw it seems:

Of course it’s okay. My apologies if your took it as criticism. I’ve just always found it hard to understand how people can support more than one club, let alone multiple teams. But each to their own!

 

First comment:

"Simon1983
Watford are possibly one of the most boring and least interesting clubs you could draw in the whole football league. Gutting. At least it's winnable, maybe one of the only Premier League teams where you could feel the Cards have a chance."

Can't argue with any of that.

 

I dont get it at all. It's bad enough watching watford, but we do so because it's our local team (or whatever your reason may be) so have an unbreakable affinity with the club. But actually choosing to watch a football team of your own free will? F*** that!

 

Proper football. Not sure how long Delia Feu or Pereyra would have lasted in that game. Holebas would have enjoyed it though ! Good move for Woking's 3rd.

 

I think it's easier with non-league (and cheaper!). Watford always first though.

 

I know we're not a Liverpool but prefer the likes of QPR, Birmingham, Norwich..... do they realise they are in the championship?

 

You see their pathetic reaction to the draw? Disa-*******-pointed that they drew us. It took Zola to tell their thicko nobody manager who we were. To be fair, he'd probably worked a long shift down at Kwik-fit so was tired.

If anything they are the ones acting all high and mighty. Sitting in some leisure centre holding their hands to their heads because they drew us. Their kids hiding their Man Utd and Chelsea shirts under their hand-me-down jackets.

They should be pleased about playing us as they'll get some good cash from it but no, they want to act like some Billy big balls from whatever league they're in. **** them.

 

My auntie was friends with the drummer from the Jam.

 

I hope we not only annihilate these ****s now, but ******* stomp all over their hopes and dreams. I hope their players get injured and some sort of crowd issues means they get fined more than they gain from the glamour tie vs us. Hope they go bust and get their ground taken over as a training pitch for Aldershot Town. Woking scum are are ryvels.

 

Yeah, I read this. Bloody peasants.

 

When you say "friends"......??
She did, didn't she ?

 

which one of you whoppers wrote this comment then?

"I write this as a season ticket holder at Watford who lives in Cobham.

Us Orns know we're not glamourous, we've always had to accept our 'big' North London neighbours, Spurs & Arsenal will attract the glory hunters. It is what it is.

What we can bring to the Woking game is a down to earth team with no prima donna's, a very humble manager and, unlike a 'big' team, a squad made up of first team players rather than a youth squad no-one has ever heard of. For instance our last cup game vs. Spurs included Heurelho Gomes, Craig Cathcart, Adrian Mariappa, Nathanial Chalobah, Will Hughes and Etienne Capoue, Roberto Pereyra, Jose Holebas, Isaac Success and Andre Gray and went to penalties after a 2-2 draw.

We'll come to win it and with a noisy sell-out away end. Let's all enjoy the day!"

Absolutely pathetic.

 

Rick Buckler.

And did he?

 

Is that why nobody goes near you in the Red Lion?

 

Woking have a genuine chance of winning this. It'll be cold, muddy, uneven and hostile. Our snowflakes will buckle as soon as the going gets tough and unless non league goals are bigger then we won't score.

2-0 Woking. We'll have 82% possession but no shots on goal.

 

Love the idea that being visited by a team containing Mariappa and Gray is to be considered something worth looking forward to. Poor Woking, they’ve been absolutely stiffed with this draw.

 

Super_horns or Hornet23.

Actually, they might be the same person.

 

Quite a portfolio, SB.

A sort of Bucks/Berks Spurs/@rse/Chelsea set up.
