If you think that a kiss is all in the lips, come on ladies and gentlemen you've got it all wrong. Welcome to the Football Abble preview show sponsored by Vett 3, 6, 5, my name's Mark Spanner. Look more here.

0:18.0

Alright, and Jim Gabbles here. Hello, and you're here more to the point.

0:30.0

Hello everybody, welcome. Come in to the Rambulism. It's a pleasure to have you with us. It's FA Cup 5th Round Time gentleman.

0:46.0

It is exciting stuff, exciting stuff. It genuinely is because of the amount of shocks that happened in the previous round which again feels like yesterday. It does. Although I see all those teams Jim that we enjoyed watching, shocking the nation in the previous round it carries over.

1:14.0

We're going to go into the next round and this round is where we pick it up from. For all the media attention and other competitions I will not let this competition fall by the wayside. We are dragging this competition back into the media spotlight.

1:28.0

Yeah, whether anyone likes it or not. We've been talking about it for years and they keep putting it on telling. Exactly. We've been vindicated. This is the only place perhaps where you know old fashioned English football pundits where they go on about the forum managers and British managers are getting the shout.

1:43.0

And all that kind of stuff and often with the doctor. Yes, exactly. We often disagree with them. Perhaps this is the only area where we do agree with them is that the FA Cup is quite sacred. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. I don't think anyone doesn't agree with that.

1:56.0

People constantly.

1:57.0

People constantly.

1:58.0

Well, you know, any people.

2:01.0

All right David. I keep you up those opinions at the door. You can spiritually theory on your own time.

2:07.0

Looking to them. Well, let's move on to the Fifth Rally. We currently host Lincoln City, one of the fairy tale stories of the Cup so far as Lincoln City.

2:17.0

Could it could could the I mean, Bernal's home form is ridiculous. Yeah, I mean, in a sense, it's like the toughest draw you could get because that home form is just absurd.

2:27.0

They'd rather that than Chelsea. Well, I think I agree, but I think it doesn't hold up. You're sure. That's a close run thing.

2:33.0

I think, you know, Bernal have won my tips for the Cup as you guys know, and they're still in there.

2:38.0

And I was obviously delighted to see them get this draw because they're probably going to progress.

2:43.0

The thing about Bernal's from Lincoln's point of view is they're not a soft-centered team. There's nothing flimsy about Bernal.

2:49.0

There's nothing. You can't, I mean, you could level a few criticism at Bernal. Of course, because you can level criticism at any team.

2:54.0

But you can lay a criticism with them so they don't fancy it. They're always fancy. You know, always arch through them.

3:00.0

No, and I think this is a nightmare draw for Lincoln purely because Chelsea aside is hard to think of a tough game that they could get.

3:08.0

Yeah, you say to him that they're not going to barge through them. Well, six foot four, 16 stone mat read.
