Mea Culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa ...

[murf]

Away to Newport is a horrible call....

[Darbyand]

I'll stick with the Codmen.

[blahblah]

Home tie, so I'll stick. Thrn swap when they get MU in the 3rd Round

[Judio]

I will stick with Wycombe regardless of the replay result

Home draw v Bostik League Team

Stick....

[primitive man]

Twist from Gateshead to Luton Town please

[Ralfbergs]

Away to Newport is a horrible call....

Yeah, two teams that have only one point difference in their respective league at the moment. Cambridge has won last 5 league meetings between these two though. But what do I know, I got knocked out already

To be honest I thought Newport were lower. Apart from the cup Cambridge Utd's recent form is better. For now I'll stick but check form again nearer ko.
