    Absolutely incredible goal from Bournemouth.

    Rehearsed kick off, almost like a set piece, couple of fine passes then in on goal. Love to see that

    I'd love to know exactly how long it took the ball to cross the line from kick off. It could beat Long's effort for quickest goal in a half (obviously not in a match).

    He’s been linked with us and an article I saw suggested he was impressed by Tino’s progression with us

    I wasn’t aware of that.
    As it happens he didn’t have a great game. A couple of good moments, showed a willingness to run beyond the striker, but missed the best opportunity Fulham had in the first half, when he hit the ball straight at a defender who was already prone on the ground, when lifting it over him into the opposite corner (he had time), would have been a goal.
    Subbed on 70 minutes.

    I think it was just over 10 seconds.
    Quick but not Long quick.

    Just read that it was 6 seconds. So quicker than Long.

    But luckily not in the first half, so it was 45:06 and also not in the Prem :)

    But I get what you are saying.

    It was certainly more impressive than Long's goal. Right off the training ground and executed to perfection.

    But more importantly fantastic Farnborough battle back from 2-0 down at half time to win 3-2, with a 93rd minute winner!

    I don’t know what it is but I expect us to draw a premier league side

    probably because we could really do with a game that we can give players like Small a go in .

    Plugged it into a random number generator, and we're playing Bristol Rovers at home.

    Our 9-0 at home might be under threat...Freiburg are currently 5-0 up at Borussia Mönchengladbach after 25 minutes!

    Of course I can kiss goodbye to my acca...:(

    Away games I'd really like in the 3rd round:

    Yeovil
    Cambridge
    Bristol Rovers
    Wimbledon
    Leyton Orient
    Swindon
    Boreham Wood/St Albans City
    Kidderminster
    Bournemouth

    Failing that a nice home tie against a lower league side.
