Leatherhead 2-3 Sutton United. Classic cup tie goes to extra time: banana skin, goals, silly red cards, saves, dubious penalties, chewed fingers and some morons leaving a poised cup tie with five minutes to go. Idiots.

Our surprisingly successful poll (3,000 votes!) earlier in the year decided FC United of Manchester were the people’s choice for the most impressive team of the season in the early rounds of the Cup. Hythe Town came a fractional and deserved second. Now the losers ribbons are floating around Wembley, here’s our final instalment, our highlights of the year and our First Choice XI team of the year.

One game left. Take two teams separated by 0 points and a handful of goals, put them on a park for 90 minutes and see which one wants the final play off place more. Add a sprinkling of FA Cup history, a bit of Cloughie, a bit of Revie, some Grecians, some Hove Albion and some FA Cup giant killing porn and you have our Ryman 1S preview of Walton & Hersham .v. Dulwich Hamlet. Enjoy.

While everyone and all of their dogs were watching the dying embers of The Real FA Cup, we were in Sutton getting back to Ryman business.

This was going to be a review of Sutton v Staines but, in truth, it wasn’t a memorable game … so here’s a short, overdue review of a book we acquired a few months ago. Sutton v Leeds, FA Cup 4th Rnd, 1970.

After last night’s games and with a few days left of the season, the Ryman Premier League has to be one of the most exciting in the country. It’s good for us, especially, as we’ve seen and/or grown fond of a number of the clubs in this league through the …

In our eyes, the 2009/10 FA Cup is drawing to a close. The soulless big boys have now barged in to spoil the party and the pundits are slavering over an apparently corpse-like competition …
