Irons v Villa plus FA Cup 3rd round draw on TV tonight

|

Big night of football ahead for us Irons with Villa in town.

But there’s another important moment or two ahead of that with the third round of the FA cup draw being made on BBC One from 7pm  meaning you can follow it live before the game.

The matches will be played early in January and the Hammers cry will be the same as ever – “anyone at home please.”

Canvey Island’s tie against Boreham Wood is also played tonight with one of them joining Stockport County, Chorley and the lowest-ranked team left, Marine of the Northern Premier League Division One North West, in the hat.

    If it turns out to be Newport County away then keep Antonio back in his home pub for that one. Remember last year? That’s where we lost him for most of the season and our great start dwindled to nothing. Losing Fabianski shortly after didn’t help, either.
    Plus side to that game was Jack Wilshere scoring a 90yd cracker in the postage stamp (or maybe less spectacular) to ensure our Carabao progress. Oh – then came Oxford!!
