Pies pick of the stills from last night's FA Cup third round replay action...
ITV's punditry panel Matt Smith, Gordon Strachan and Ian Wright watch over QPR's game
against the MK Dons from deep within the bowels of their elevated glass fortress at a sparsely
populated Loftus Road
New QPR manager Mark Hughes gives the home crowd a wave before taking his place in the
Loftus Road dugout for the first time
Obviously not used to moving at these speeds, a terrified Kevin Davies motors past
Macclesfield Town's Tony Diagne at the Reebok.
In a day of very few shocks, two Premier League sides Bolton and Wigan were surprised by lower
league opponents in the 3rd round of the FA Cup.
Wigan's troubled season took another turn for the worse as they crashed out 2-1 too League Two
side Swindon Town. Calum McManaman had put Wigan 1-0 up but Swindon, managed by Italian Paolo Di
Canio, struck back to claim a famous win with goals coming from Alan Connell and Paul Benson.
We've already seen several sides hemorrhaging players over the past week or so, with the likes
of Bolton and Sunderland parting company with 22 players between them, while poor old Macclesfield
Town even went as far as releasing 21 players from a squad of just 33 on Monday following their
relegation from the Football League.
It's the end of the season, and York City have won the final playoff game to secure their return
football league. Now, the process of positioning teams in various leagues will begin in a process
jokingly referred to as the AGM Cup.
Always controversial, the Football Conference AGM decides who gets placed into various leagues
in the Conference system (Conference Premier, North & South).
1981-2011 The sudden death of Macclesfield Town's Richard Butcher at the age of just 29 came as a
major shock to the footballing world yesterday. It will have hit those involved at the lower end of
the Football League the hardest. Richard was no stranger to League Two football, having played for
Lincoln City, Peterborough [.
Headlines in England following the draw for the fourth round of the FA Cup will be centered on
the Liverpool vs. Manchester United battle and a possible QPR vs. Chelsea meeting, as rematches of
racism-marred Premier League games take center stage. For American fans, though, there's a much
more tasty fixture to be found.
The third round of the FA Cup is littered with the typical David vs. Goliath matchups that the
tournament boasts every year, but there is one matchup featuring a pair of giants that is sure to
capture everyone's attention.
Premier League front-runners Manchester City and Manchester United square off in an early-round
encounter that has plenty on the line.
It has been a cracking start for Scott Sutter at BSC Young Boys in the Swiss Super League. With six
matches gone, his side sit top of the league unbeaten, and with a six point lead over their nearest
rivals. Sutter, who was with Aston Villa, Charlton Athletic and Millwall as a youth, before joining
[.
In the absence of any meaningful football this summer (excluding a nod to the U21s) we'll focus
on the endless transfer sagas in the Premiership and beyond (don't forget Simon Cox). So far Garry
Barry has defected, without European football, to Man City - and Madrid have splashed out on
Kaka.
We're playing 'catch up' today after a bout of electro-gremlins rendered us down and out at the
weekend so, for the two of you that haven't seen it already and for the many that probably won't
mind seeing it again, here's Macclesfield Town midfielder Arnaud Mendy scoring the goal of his
career against Bolton on Saturday.
Now, I'm not one of those EPL-centric, footballing-history-started-in-1992 type people. I just
hate the FA Cup. I hate how misused the FA Cup is in terms of broadcasting (both online and
televised).
Last March I wrote a post about how College Basketball's March Madness is presented in
America.
The draw for this season's FA Cup 3rd round was made today with Manchester City drawn Manchester
United at hom in what is the draw of the round. There will be only one other all Premier League tie
with Newcastle at home to Blackburn, while non-league Tamworth got a dream tie with Everton at
Goodison Park.
League Cup, Second Round Wanderers fight back to stay in the League Cup

Macclesfield Town took an early lead to shock Bolton Wanderers who eventually saved
themselves the embarrassment of begin knocked out of the competition by the League Two
vistors.
The cup season is upon us once again as Bolton Wanderers open the Carling Cup against
Macclesfield Town at the Reebok. The Silkmen of League Two downed Hull City by a score of 2-0 to
reach the second round. Bolton will look to do better than they did last year when they were ousted
by Burnley in the third round.
Some silverware outside of a preseason trophy would be nice.
With the new season comes the first chance at silverware for Bolton Wanderers. The Carling Cup
campaign will start on August 22nd at the Reebok as the Trotters have been handed a tie with
Macclesfield Town FC. The Silkmen, who currently reside in League Two, defeated Hull City by a
scoreline of 2-0.
Admittedly I was a bit slow to publish this...so with the added benefit of one performance,
here's the League Two preview!
Who's Looking Good?
Crawley Town: Most bookies favourites, Crawley have the biggest budget in the
league, momentum to die for, and probably the deadliest striker in the division in Matt Tubbs.
A few more additions to the list over the past few days while I continue to work on the definitive
Les Rosbifs directory. Most of the activity has centred around Scotland, with the big money being
spent by Celtic on Daniel Fox. The left-back was purchased from Coventry City for a fee of around
£1.5million [.

MLS has been busy during this summer's transfer window, bringing in some big names to
bolster the league's popularity both domestically and abroad. First a Frenchman named
Henry joined the league, shortly followed by his Barcelona teammate and Mexican
captain Marquez.
John Rooney, the younger brother of Manchester United star Wayne Rooney , is on trial with MLS
club Seattle Sounders. Like his older brother, the 19-year old is a former member of the Everton
youth academy. He also made close to 50 appearances for League Two club Macclesfield Town over the
past few seasons.
La pretemporada para el Accrington Stanley ha sido muy mesurada y a estado marcada por un optimismo
total, luego de vender a Bobby Grant al Scunthorpe y lograr la no despreciable suma de 260000
libras, que dan un respiro a la débil economía del club, el Accrington también traspaso varios
jugadores que no necesitaba: Darran Kempson al Grimsby Town, John Miles al Fleetwood Town, Michael
Symes al Bournemouth y Dave Winfield al Wycombe Wanderers, todos estos jugadores salen del club
gratis, el equipo también rescindió el contrato de John Mullin, dejando de esta manera el equipo
que realmente necesita, el Acrington también ha sumado varios refuerzos, el primero en llegar fue
el joven Michael Hall un promesa frustrada proveniente del Blackburn Rovers y otro joven Craig
Lindfield proveniente del Macclesfield Town.

Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tabs on Macclesfield Town's emerging young talent
George Whiteoak, reports the Daily Mirror.
The 16 year-old centre-half is drawing attention from some of Britain's top clubs having impressed
for the League Two side at youth level and is now on the verge of making his senior debut.
Hmm. Old Spice commercials are becoming rather popular at the mo, aren't they? Here's Is Chivas USA
midfielder Michael Lahoud having his turn. First spotted by our mates over at KCKRS.
Warning. This post contains references to malodorous marriage proposals, farcical fishing
frolics and an alarming amount of alliteration.
Major League Soccer held their 2011 SuperDraft today at the NSCAA Convention in
Baltimore, Maryland.
The expansion team Vancouver Whitecaps had the first choice overall and took 17-year-old forward
Omar Salgado which seemed to surprise everyone but the Whitecaps.
The Shots se han movido mucho en esta pretemporada, han salido 6 jugadores:Kirk Hudson al Brentford
por una cifra no revelada, Dave Winfield se fue al Wycombe Wanders por decisión de un Tribunal,
los otros 4 jugadores que fueron transferidos salieron por una tasa de fichaje 0.
Buxton 1-3 Macclesfield Town (09-07-10) - lots more photos to follow -
A trip to Buxton my well become EFW's traditional curtain raiser to every season. We ended 2009/10
by wishing Ghana well before they headed off to become the story of the
World Cup - which was pretty special.
Cheltenham Town 1 - 2 Macclesfield Town
Football League 2. Friday 16th October
Jon Rooney - Macclesfield Town (but not for long......)
I should realise that when Cheltenham have a bright start it's because
the opposition are letting them expend a bit of nervous excitement before turning it on
themselves.
