Very happy about dirty Leeds going out of the cup to a bunch of nobodies, obviously. Yet am getting a bit annoyed about certain idjits in the meedja (Talksport & various others) calling it "one of the biggest upsets ever". It's a team at the top of the conference against a division three side, in old money. Not that many places between them, it's harly Sutton-coventry is it?

44 places according to my dodgy arithmetic - not like the 74 between them and Colchester in 71 - trouble with clubs like Leeds is they have a superiority complex they can't get rid of however badly they perform on the park

More places between Curzon Ashton and the unlucky League side they fluked a win against in the first round, to be honest....

I'd forgotten about that already - unlike the day Exeter repelled the Red's at the theatre of dreams which will linger long in memories less receptive than yours

Every dog has it's day and Exeter's was one of the most memorable ever

You should of been there, bit more memorable then. Even if I was in the Man U end at the theatre of crass commercialism.

'twas fairly tense in the last 15 minutes, would of been devastating if they'd nicked it.

Yeah, I'm at the stage in life were I can be a bit sanguine about these things, have been at Old Trafford and Wembley with great results, nothing beats being at Home Park when we won 3-0 though. I'll be there again, I swear. So I can take these defeats more then I did when I was a kid.

Hmm, this match on the tellybox has turned a bit.....

Never understood why Chelsea managers don't pick Alex, always looks a quality c-h to me, better then Ivanovic, anyway.

Chelsea rubbish yet again against a decent side...

Played well first half, really were utterly rubbish second half, don't think Almunia touched the ball.

First goal was the proverbial mile offside, but I'll gratefully take it. :)

Chavs looked rank ordinary if truth be told. FTBs? Deco seems to have regressed from world class in August & September to apathetic now too. Not a fan of the good old English weather, maybe?

98 places between us and Curzon, it was... so very nearly **** myself when Scholes shot inches wide in stoppage time. Will never forget and it's what football is all about.

Histon game = hilarious. It's the same long-ball stuff that they played against us at Bridge Road twelve months ago when we drew 2-2 (two set piece goals) but exactly what was required in the situation.

How long since they were in the semi-finals of the Champions League?
