For fuck sake, I knew they should have kept him till the end of the season

Gotcha @Bayo. I must have been half asleep. It probably would’ve clicked if you’d worked in Acorn antiques and a reference to “two soups”!

Hi Micra,

Back in 1909 the League only had a First and Second Division. Below this you had various regional leagues including the Southern and Northern Football League.

When Palace beat Wolves in 1909 they were Level 3 and Level 2. Palace lost in the next Round to Burnley 9-0 who were also Level 2

I see our day out at Man City wouldn’t be going to plan …

Man City have had eight shots on target and have scored nine goals. Suspect the Exeter keeper has had better days.

Nine different scorers too. At least they kept Haaland quiet.

That’s quite the slapping for Exeter, not that it’s to our credit that they thumped us to reach this round.

Our showing v MCFC in the League Cup was little better but at least we scored, and first, not just as a consolation.

At least they got a goal to cheer. But 10-1 is a shocker, with Citys B team

Exeter didnt play like they deserved more gate receipts it seems.

It would have been interesting/frightening to see Doddsball against this City team!

Tbf, they did start Rodri, Reijnders, Cherki and Haaland.

Felt a bit like they were so annoyed about the request for more money they thought they’d embarrass them

Been on the road visiting family. Upon getting home and checking the scores, I’m relieved to find that the City v Exeter game just about scraped home for my 2.5 overs Acca…

Bit harsh to call it a B team with Haaland, Rodri, Reindeers, Cherki, Semenyo and a couple of the defenders being regulars over the last years.

Whoops..I just echoed what you said, should have read down before replying first!

Bad luck to still have the Christmas decorations out

So I sorta got it right. Not exactly like with like though !

I had to do a quick check to make sure the Gasroom lights had been taken down.

Sullay Kaikai scores for Cambridge v Burbigum

EDIT: (doh, should have gone in ex WW footballers, never mind)

Our defeat against Exeter City in the 2nd round now is the equivalent of one of those films where someone suffers a considerable mishap to miss their flight, only to watch the plane take off with its engines on fire.
