The draws for the next two rounds have already been done and are on the Wikipedia FA Cup qualifying page - my lot are up against El Tel's next.

Yeah, I'm going to format it and tailor it to suit the game. Which takes time.

No, didn't mean it to come across like that, thought you were wondering if it was out yet.

I know you didn't, don't fret yourself. It's just that the format of the draw, both on Wikipedia and the FA website, is rubbish and not helpful for me doing this. buggers.

Right, next round. A reminder that RobM, My Name Is Ian and Jobi1 can adopt a new club whenever they want, in return for their points.

Anyone with two asterisks beside their name are currently on double points.

Where I was born against where my mum grew up! Ah, the banter will be ledge.

Seems to be a lot more head-to-heads this time, which is nice.

I've got no idea who Theodore is, and I really don't need to. Just an insect to be squashed on Maine Road's path to glory.

Continued sterling work Kettle. You deserve to win, except mighty Ascot United will, it so happens.

Now this is a team badge:

My team lost in the replay (Mole Valley SCR, though my selection wasnt picked up at the time) though not to a team picked by anyone else. Is that game over for me then?

Can I take the opportunity to salute the genius of this game again? I've become hooked on updating my knowledge of the West Mids non-league scene.

When I picked Willenhall Town in the previous round, I didn't realise that Sporting Khalsa had become their landlords a couple of years ago, following a financial meltdown for Willenhall. I thought Khalsa were still resident in Bloxwich's old home. That must have given an extra charge to the tie.

Meanwhile, Khalsa go on to face Nuneaton Griff. Will they be able to cope with the Warwickshire side's paramilitary dance troupe and fiery anti-semitic rhetoric?

Mafu, I'm really sorry - I've managed to miss you off. I've added you into the next round as Badshot Lea, who beat Mole Valley. As they lost in a replay, you are on one point.

A reminder to those that need to adopt another club - do it ASAP, otherwise you may miss out on points.

To those that don't....the game's back in action starting tonight, with ESPN showing Wembley YET AGAIN. No other teams exist at this stage of the competition, obviously.

Is it not on Sunday?

I'm going to Watford v Birmingham on Saturday, kick-off 5:20.

Are any of these ties near enough to Vicarage Road to get along to watch at 3pm, please?

Or should I just stay at home and pop out to a local FA Cup tie, take in a new ground and sack the journey to Watford and watch it on the telly? I'm leaning towards that option, though any positive answers to my earlier question will definitely sway me.

The ones at London Colney and Colney Heath are as close as it gets. You'll be cutting it slightly fine from final whistle to kick off, but you're a junction on the M1 away (and then a bit of driving into and through Watford) from Vicarage Road. I'd say you can do it in 25 minutes if it's clear.

Is it? *checks* Oh yeah.

Ah well, back in action tonight with three matches. Should have looked at the fixture list I posted in this thread.

Thanks for the advice Kettle.

Now, now. As Bacup are the conquerors of my first choice team I don't feel the need to be as antagonised as I maybe ought.

After Shoreham's dismal performance in the replay in the last round (I presume), I will take this opportunity to trade in my points and switch to AFC Sudbury, if that's okay. I'm off there this afternoon.

This afternoon Ware duly dispatched Biggleswade Utd (just about)... so no points for me I guess. And, I hope, none the next round when Ware play ... ta da!... the Mighty Canaries.
