Up For The Cup Part 1: Poo-Ton edition

Don’t think we’ve played Exeter in my lifetime.

Good chance of being televised, I think.

Obviously ManU v Leicester and Plymouth v Liverpool. Probably orient or derby v Man City. After that, we’re probably at a similar level to Villa/Spurs and Birmingham/Newcastle.

Mansfield or Wigan v Fulham also likely for tv.

1951, apparently:

But that was a lazy google so there might be a cup game or something. We've drawn twice and beaten them 5-0 twice, so history clearly points to level at the whistle with 5 goals in extra time.

Apparently a testimonial in 1979, when we smashed them 5-0 again. So obviously they did something to piss off Clough.

The Nick Jennings Testimonial. How could I have forgotten* that!?

*Never known

He's dead you heartless bastard.

I'll never forget his time with Dallas Tornado

Oh, I meant Jota, not Sosa

Didn't we play Exeter in a pre season friendly about 15 years ago, or is my mind finally shot.

Born in the same town as me, so I'm proper ashamed now.

Yeah - I was there. Remember Nicky Southall looked sh!t and Nicky Eaden looked great. That worked out well.
Think we must have been on a pre-season tour in Devon, as I saw us at Torquay the same week.
Edit: Grecian archives says we won 2-1 on 27/7/05 in front of 2,149 fans.

At a guess...
BBC will go for Plymouth v Bindippers (Sun PM), ITV will then want Man U vs RvN and his shitty trainers (Sat PM).
Expect BBC to also go for Citeh, while ITV will want Tom Brady v Newcastle and Villa v Spudz.
Then it's us, then Fulham and maybe Dagenham if they get through.

Early shout for a ticket (or two) please, if anyone with away membership doesn't fancy the long, long trip!
Thank you

Got to be good chance we are the Thursday night slot? Not quite glamorous enough for the prime Saturday/Sunday ones.

Romance of the cup...Everton V Posh was a chosen game, you can't tell me Exeter v us is worse than that.
