FA Cup draw - it's happened. Who have you got?

So the very complex draw took place last night as expected with the assistance of Pete Luckett, Dave Beale, Dan Stone, Luke Chalk (who as he was helping became the 29th entrant) and later Anna Stone and Kate.

Key things to note:
Beale brotherly rivalry in Blackburn V Man City
Auntie / niece / nephew rivalry for Margs playing both niece Amy and nephew Bill, whilst nephew Archie plays against his sister's boyfriend Billy.
Luke Beale is guaranteed to be in the next round as he has both Norwich and Fulham who are playing each other so he will knock himself out.
Mads Sheppard may not be keen on Arsenal - but she will have the chance to knock out Christine and more importantly Tottenham.
Dave Beale is hoping for some luck n the big cash - Port Vale V Plymouth (else he will sulk!)

James Luckeet, Amy Sheppard, Lyn, Chris Sowter, Ted Luckett and Pete Luckett will all be in the next round with their home teams that have no names against the opposition. They will take on the winning team of the tie - Ted hopes that will be the Hammers.

Bill the Roofer's tie Crawley V Bristol Rovers (round 2) is postponed so his two teams and Andy's Birmingham will be in the next draw and goodness knows when their match will happen.

Good luck (some more than others!!).  First prize is now £17

CCC update

Yeovil V Watford postponed so Kate didn't loose and Neil took the opportunity to catch her.  Yeovil, Watford, Wigan and Sheffield Wednesday all have a game in hand over the over teams.  Wins for Anna, Sue, Shirley, Pete, Ted and Kelly.

Can I be that much of a curse on teams? Bolton have a debt of £163.8million. Will they go into liquidation too? Minus 10 points would take me back to join Neil and Kate in bottom place! Fingers crossed that doesn't happen and that we don't sell all our players this month!

and other news... Cardiff may be appointing their new manager. I'm not even go to type his name!!!! I don't like him!
