Living it large on a Friday night!!!

AFC Flyde VS Wigan with a blanket and a cup of tea.

I wonder if they shouldn't change up the rules for the FA Cup. PL teams that aren't in Europe could enter in the second round. Would be much better.

Atm they have all the Championship teams and Prem teams come in the next round. I'm sure with rejigging you could figure a way to get both leagues in earlier rounds...however they will never want to do it due to it meaning an extra game in the season in which the reserves would have to play in

I like that idea tbh. Would make it interesting and give non-league teams that chance to get a name club.

I like the format as it is to be honest, non-league teams get two rounds in the spotlight then lower football league clubs get a couple of rounds to be the focus of potential giant-killings too.

Oh I just want it to hear some of the PL managers having a moan about playing an extra game.

[Lineker]

Fylde have just levelled it from the penalty spot.

Very close today. Great drama and nice to see my team of choice get through.

Smashed local rivals 3-0, ended their six game winning run and into the hat for Round 3

Tom Hopper plays for Scunthorpe, so sod them.
