Live on Sky tomorrow too. Should be a cracker.

Do you go to the UoS? You seem to have an affinity for the owls but iirc you're a Villan?

That's a great picture. Such a shame Northwich couldn't hold on, really. Intrigued to see some of the ties that the third round throws up, though. Salford and United, or another North-West club (Wigan, Preston, Blackburn, Bolton, Man City) could be really enjoyable.

Sheffield Wednesday's Glen Loovens was late out for the second half because he was on the loo, like the irony there.

I'm in this photo.

Fantastic to finally see a win as I'm about to fly to Australia for 2 months and hadn't managed to see FC win for six months. I keep missing the rare home wins this season but an away win at Stockport to lift us out of the relegation zone is perfect.

Dean Smith won his opening game as Brentford boss as well so all in all a great weekend for football. Made even better by Chelsea's performance.

Millwall lost 2-1 yesterday, we were at home too. Such a shame

Some great goals in the football league and FA Cup, and my favourite was that effort from Grant which curled in during Doncaster's victory today.

Yeah @Viva Emptiness is still sulking about the Chelsea game.

Gonna be jumping on the non league scene soon myself as my unit in the new year is near Lincoln City's ground. Only £16 a ticket is incredible.

£16 a ticket is the kind of price we boycott at FC. £9 for home games and anything above £15 the boycotts begin. Most away games are between ten and twelve quid.

Better than Leeds prices though! Enjoy it.

I'd happily take a trip to Elland Road. It's been a while.

I'm just hoping for a decent tie for Liverpool. Lower league clubs are always potential banana skins, but I enjoy seeing us play at new grounds. One of my favourite cup ties was that 5-3 at Luton Town, which I went to. Great game, and even though I sat in the home end, it was great entertainment and the Hatters ran us really close.

Give me the Mancs any day. With home advantage and a big crowd, I'd back us against both them and Chelsea.

Also, £15 for a non-league game sounds criminal.

With Sheff Wed charging almost £50 for some home tickets, it's to be expected.

Bit of a 'meh' draw. At least Rotherham get another cup final to play this season.
