Match Notes

We’ve not made it past the group stage since S48. 🤮

~ Brian ~ May 11 (Brighton & Hove Albion)

Watford bringing their trademark chaos to a neutral ground. Brighton will likely dissect them with their usual precision — should be efficient rather than entertaining.

~ Olmec Head Marcus ~ May 12 (Coventry City)

That's high praise for Brian from Olmec Head Marcus...

~ Allan ~ May 14 (Brentford FC)

B-Squared loves his cup runs but JT's Watford won't roll over on a neutral pitch. Should be a proper battle this one.

~ Olmec Head Ray ~ May 15 (Blyth Spartans AFC)

B-Squared's unpredictability is genuinely interesting on paper. Whether it translates without a crowd pulling for either side is the more relevant question today.

~ Olmec Head Marcus ~ May 15 (Coventry City)
