a few shocks in the early round of the FA Cup this week...

League games will kickoff at 1000 hours Wednesday morning...

Woo boo a cup victory, the romance is alive

Delighted with the First round of the cups with both Watford and Botafogo coming out winners!

Watford failed to deliver the FA cup last season, so will be interesting balancing the 3 competitions this season with the likes of Rashford, Barkley, Hudson-Odoi being played this week in the Cup and debuts to Jonny Otto and Joao Cancelo to help bed them into the team.

Botafogo making a good early start to retaining the Cup scoring plenty with a couple of fringe players gettiing some much needed game time to be upto speed should they be required in the league. 

Bring on the league games!

Kickoff is delayed for a few minutes due to streakers on the pitch...
