Is anybody on here of the same opinion as me that the word Giantkillers went out in the 80's ? That was when lesser known part time teams went out and beat a team from a higher league...nowadays,you have Conference sides whose players might be full time,on a better wedge than their football league opponents,and in my opinion are not giantkillers....Cheaterfield may have beaten us and a couple of Premeirshite clubs to get where they're not in the league club,but put them in the prem for a season and they would fail...
Had we lost to those northeners today ,say 1-0,they would have been Giantkillers,but because we won 8-0,we don't even get on the roundup on Final Score...
As for who we get in the next round....who cares...it'll be 11 v11 on the day:albion:
