Fact is were going to whip there butts and get a great draw in the second round, and make us millions to buy new players at Christmas.

I wont be going to the game as it`s my son`s birthday party,but feeling nervous about the game after Brackley last season.We`re expected to beat a struggling Orient side who are struggling in the conference,but as we know anything can happen in the Cup.I think we`re due an FA Cup run again after 5 first round exit`s recently.Hopefully we will play a strong Team,and get a result.With finances tight,we could do with the money.

I am not worried about this game for the first time all season, I think a big win today will see the Commander of Apollo 13 given the job of manager at least for the rest of this season, the players seem to like playing for him so 3-1 today must get him the nod.

1-0 to the Gills inside 20 mins. GGGGGOOO GILLS.

Maidstone away at Cheltenham 0-3 up at the half . Beginning to think Gillinghams position of being Kents only team in the Football League is getting close to coming to an end again with both Dover and Maidstone in with a good chance of promotion.

Good win even though we seemed to let them back in the game, now come on footie Gods give us a home tie against a tomato can, Billericay or Leatherhead would be nice.

I was at my son`s party,but kept checking the score.It felt like we played 15 minutes of injury time how long it took for the F/T score to come up.A fan told me we dominated the first half,and should have gone in two or three nil up.The second half much more even,and Orient had a right go.Good to see Parker and Eaves score again,and great to finally reach round two for the first time in five years.
