    FA Cup

    Big day tomorrow in the FA Cup preliminary round, not just for the local teams at Parkgate and Maltby but for some great named outfits like Leicester Nirvana as they aspire to reaching the 3rd round proper and a tie against the big boys like Rotherham United

    Trouble could be afoot for the Bedfordshire plod as both Biggleswade and Biggleswade United are at home with 3pm kick offs

    They have been going for ages as I remember them from living and playing down there in the early 80s Never did work out what a Cheneck was.

    Something to do with house names at the grammar school.

    That's quite true, naked. Are you an old boy of Northampton Grammar?

    No reason why you would be, of course. A fine school though. I remember old Edwards the headmaster, Pettigrew, Whittaker and Smallpiece. Had some great times in the company of Bob Cherry, Harry Wharton, Horace Coker and Vernon-Smith. Happy days indeed.

    Well spotted, Archie, but only half right. The first four names were from that homage to public school homoerotica, Whacko! with Jimmy Edwards. You also lose a point for the Monty is Kempo nonsense. Clearly none of you lads are aware of the history of this site. But it keeps Mike happy I suppose. he conveniently forgets that it was I who first posted the list of names he now puts up with boring regularity. If he's so sure Kempo is Monty is Wendun is Unwed2 is Dr Pokem perhaps he might refer us to a single post made by Unwed2 for instance that confirms his belief?
