ALL GAMES
 Local derby - Forest don't play Derby very often in the real world any more but this was a fierce rivalry amongst fans. Ilkeston is pretty much mid way between the two cities and on the county border so a lot of Ilkestonians supported one or the other. Br Steve (Nottingham Forest) Brian Clough was manager of both teams winning the then First Division with both teams. The A52 which runs between the cities was named after him relatively recently. Steve (Nottingham Forest)   Crewe Alexandra FC Carl Oakes  Plymouth Argyle FC Rob Peterson Prediction League Featured Match
 Very tough season opener Carl (Crewe Alexandra FC)  We're going to hope to pull off the first upset of the season. Don't know if it's going to happen, but we're going to do our best. Rob (Plymouth Argyle FC)  Woe is you Phil, woe is you. Brian (Brighton & Hove Albion)  Not the matchup we were looking for...BHA owns us Dave (Lewes FC) Oh come on. đ Seems apparent OLMEC is starting her little games very early this season. đ Brian (Brighton & Hove Albion)  this will be a great match Aires (Wycombe Wanderers)  typical Lewes drawn at home again Vick (Weston-super-Mare AFC) Any chance the FA Cup could be switched to neutral like the AP Cup? At least for BHA games? Brian (Brighton & Hove Albion)  With a suspended SW and SL 10 GK, is Dave heading to the FA Shield here? Ian (Preston North End FC) Tough times at Lewes for sure Dave (Lewes FC)  Carlisle United Dave Gittins  Dagenham & Redbridge Jeff Hawker Prediction League Featured Match
 Wycombe Wanderers Aires Martins Jr.  Port Vale FC John Holden Prediction League Featured Match
Best of luck here, Aires, though I think John's side bring a bit more firepower. Brian (Brighton & Hove Albion) Rough start for me! Aires (Wycombe Wanderers)  We're going to see Wycombe a lot this season John (Port Vale FC) |  Iâm fairly confident of a draw Colin (Southend United) These two teams have never drawn before! John (Port Vale FC) best not to under estimate Coventry. These non league teams are not pushovers especially before half their team is suspended or injured. Vick (Weston-super-Mare AFC)  Bristol City FC Roger Mendonça  Weston-super-Mare AFC Vick Hall Prediction League Featured Match
I guess we are writing off the FA Cup this year! Vick (Weston-super-Mare AFC) I like Vicks gamesmanship hereâŚâŚ.look for Weston to bring this back to their grounds in session 2 Dave (Lewes FC) no seriously this year we give up on the FA Cup. Better to concentrate on doing well in the AP Vick (Weston-super-Mare AFC) oh look we also have Lewes in the first round of the AP! Vick (Weston-super-Mare AFC)  I feel like Bristolâs involvement in this match is just getting in the way of the Lewes-Weston spat Roger (Bristol City FC) Itâs not easy being LewesâŚ..everyone after usâŚâŚwe are in year 3 of a heavy rebuild tooâŚ..I donât get it Dave (Lewes FC)  Sheffield United Paul Cockayne  Hereford United FC Alex Tucker Prediction League Featured Match
 After winning the FA Cup last season, we are hoping to progress to round 2 this time Paul (Sheffield United)  Brentford FC Allan Sellers  Queens Park Rangers James White Prediction League Featured Match
The biggest mystery with FA Cup Round 1 is always this. Will Al be playing for a replay, or will he tank entirely so he can win the FA Shield? One thing we do know, he will not be trying to win today. Ian (Preston North End FC)  Uhhhhh...yes I am a mystery but Dr. White is an FA Shield specialist. I've played a "just good enough" lineup to beat the Rangers B team so please don't start the stars Dr. White! Allan (Brentford FC) Lucky âdrawâ here for the league favorites as they draw a bye Dave (Lewes FC)  Swindon Town FC Matt White  Dorchester Town Andy Shaw Prediction League Featured Match
 A tough away draw but we have a good recent record against Swindon. Andy (Dorchester Town) |  Tough game coming here Simon (Northampton Town FC) Ianâs just to good for me Simon (Northampton Town FC) A little hardness goes a long wayâŚâŚ Dave (Lewes FC) Knocked out first round again I believe Simon (Northampton Town FC) Compo may be 60, but we still respect him just as much as when he was 50. Ian (Preston North End FC)  Leicester City FC Hazel Hawker  Cardiff City FC Graham Wilkes Prediction League Featured Match
 No Comment Jeff (Dagenham & Redbridge)  Good grief .... what a way to start the season .... now comm on G .... you know whats best for you ! Hazel (Leicester City FC)  W3 have no chance here Graham (Cardiff City FC) You've got this one, Roy! Brian (Brighton & Hove Albion)  Leeds United Abe Hamdali  Lincoln City FC Mike Cabral Prediction League Featured Match
This will be a fun match Aires (Wycombe Wanderers) I bet Leeds come out aggressive, but in the end the Imps will prevail. Brian (Brighton & Hove Albion)  Watford James Tucker  Oldham Athletic AFC Pierre van Rossum Prediction League Featured Match
Olmec decides Pierre needs a baptism of fire Roger (Bristol City FC)  Looking at the head to head, Watford is very much the favorite. Pierre (Oldham Athletic AFC) |
