Local derby for Chelmsford City (vs Braintree) & televised, which I think is a first for City.

Usually a lively game. I'm away, otherwise I'd be going to that.

Anyone watching Luton Town vs Forest Green Rovers?

Oh my.. a 2-1 away win when down to 10 men & scoring the winner in the 26th minute of extra time

Brackley Town vs Notts County goes to extra time, after an injury time penalty for Brackley.

Astonishing comeback by Carlisle at Reading. (2-3, AET)

Quickest FA Cup hat-trick ever?

The pick of those draws would be Spurs v Villa, and the top of the Championship clash between Stoke v Coventry.

Well, it's third round weekend and Wrexham vs Forest is a cracking contest so far.

[Cupramax]

Thoroughly enjoyed that, what a game! Preps to ex Arsenal academy lad Arthur Akonkwo saving two pens.
