FA Cup - Plucky Little Minnows Thread

So we can get back to this football malarky, I would like to wish your team of plucky little minnows good luck in your epic FA Cup (1st round) tie against Dorchester Town on Sunday.

With the cameras at the game it looks like the media think there may be a giant killing in the offing. I am not so sure, I think Dorchester won't suffer the banana skin or indignation in losing to a team on its downers.

As for the mighty Grecians, we have an altogether different Gigg.

Come Monday we can both concentrate on the League

It's live on TV? I knew they'd do this. How embarrasing.

FLETCHER OUT!

We delivered a giant killing for ESPN last season, so I'm not surprised they've chosen us again. They are probably hoping for a repeat performance.

Personally I reckon we'll scrape through this time, but we're going to have to put our best team out otherwise an upset will be a definite possibility.

argo are nothing more than plucky minnows themselves.. we'll be lucky to scrape a draw

I will wish you lot good luck on Sunday if you wish City good luck tomorrow at Bury

NO I am a Green, through and through, just want us to look kindly on our A38 brothers. I consider Argyle to be "you" at the moment rather than "us".

Thats baffled the feck out of me but welcome all the same green or red person.

Concentrate on the league, concentrate on the league, concentrate on the league.

We can't score against 10 boys let alone 10 men.

The Trust model is great, until you want to take action and then nothing happens. Changes needed on the management side I am afraid.

At least we've all got 24 hours to rip the piss out of Torquay

That'll bring Merse outta the woods telling us that we think we're massive, which of course we are

Watched a bit of a preview earlier and Dorchester are really up for this!

It's the biggest game in their history, live on TV, ok it's only ESPN, home advantage and against a team in the lower regions of Division 2.

I make it a lot closer than I would like it to be

Expect the worse.

Anything else is a bonus.

I was at the Richo Arena today to watch my local team Arlesey play Coventry. They were the better side for most of the game (yes they did lose 3-0...) even though they are about 5 divisions below. Don't be surprised to see Dorchester sh*t all over us tomorrow then

I am also embarassed that Coventry are a league above us. They cant even pass the ball right. Sort it out Brent and get us out of this league!!

Good luck Jake Gosling and Jamie Reid today on loan from City to Dorchester. Jake Gosling is a friend of my son so our support for Dorchester will bve total today.

Also best wishes for any ex City players who may get a run out for Dorchester.

I know you will probably put 4 past them today to make my weekend even worse
