St Albans currently doing a golfie against Forest Green Rovers on BBC2, but it's not half time yet, so anything could happen.

And I jinxed them, as FGR equalised in first half stoppage time.

St Albans 3-2 Forest Green now

I dont really see the St Albans match as much of an upset. Non leafue aide at home beating a side that were non league themselves not that long ago. 

Two cracking FA cup games on the tele today tbf to whoever was picking them.

Carlisle away for me in the next round.
Lose that and  I get to go crewe on the 8th jan.
Happy days

So if we beat someone like Brentford in the 3rd round, that wouldn’t be an upset?

If Brentford were to field 11 reserves and rest their first team then no, I would not class it as a giant killing like we used to see.

If Wrexham had beaten Harrogate on Saturday, on paper it would have been an upset (NL beating L2) but in reality, most people would consider Wrexham, with their previous league history a far bigger club than Harrogate, who've spent most of their life way down the pyramid. Especially with the new owners.

Oxford drew 2-2 with Bristol Rovers today.

Given the "big" clubs in League One all had home ties, its surprising that only Charlton and Portsmouth managed to avoid a replay or being knocked out.

All have faced lower league opposition as well apart from Sheffield Wednesday. 

Some dismal performances by many of the L1 sides. Sunderland going out makes headlines, but the likes of Ipswich, MKD and Wigan failing to beat lower level opposition at home, and having to go away for a replay is almost worse

To be fair Sunderland are still recovering from a Stockley head butt

Who on earth thought putting Dag & Red vs Salford on the tele was a good idea? What a bore fest. There was about 10 more interesting ties they could've picked.

There really isn't.

St Albans away in the second round please 

Would love this! Charlton away at my hometown team.

If we can't get an unusual opponent, as I can't see myself going there on Boxing Day, away at Wimbledon would be good. A new ground and likely to create more interest than most other L1 opponents

Bolton vs Stockport. Local ish derby, ex-Premier League vs former football league stalwart on their way back, five figures in attendance including a sold out away end…

And how many people are bothered about Bolton v Stockport outside of Bolton  and Stockport?
