Sure as eggs are eggs, my team lost again yesterday. Poor old Sunny Scunny next.

Must admit I hadn't realised how much impact those early rounds of the FA Cup much have on teams through August, September and October | |

But what if we all end up supporting the same lower league team and they get drawn away to Nodge in the third round proper ? Could a precautionary anti-Nodgification rule be applied so that we all switch allegiance to one of the remaining non-league teams ? | |

A trip to the seaside when my current team inevitably lose in the next round. Take in the tower, oldest helter skelter, strictly ballroom and loads of kilt wearers on holiday. Nice one. |  | | |

I hadn't thought of this eventuality. That seems reasonable but clearly we would all be desperate to change teams as soon as possible in that situation. All except Ulla, perhaps. | |

What do y’all think? |
I think that those unfortunates that get the Budgies should have to pay a penalty like having to wear something yellow for a week.
I believe it should be left there like a mine floating in the sea of outragious fortune.
But to be fair it is unlikely. I mean they would have to win a game first would n't they?
And did you know that this is their worst start in the Champs for 16 years ?
Now where have I seen that number spoken of before ? | | | |
