Last season I chose an historic footballing reason for choosing my team. West Auckland won the first football World Cup. This season, I'm totally abandoning that policy and picking Oxhey Jets because I used to love Jet from Gladiators.  So that's one team picked. The other is down to you guys... |

Great coincidence, if it was fiction it'd be criticised as facetious I haven't decided my pick yet, it's between Wembley, Retford and Jarrow for me. Get your bribery offers in |

And don't just say Oxhey which league are they in, factfile please ;D As I previously said, they're in the Spartan South Midlands League, another of those at step 5 of the pyramid. This is only their second time in the FA Cup. Last season they lost in the preliminary round to Lowestoft Town. Oxhey is just south of Watford. Their colours are blue and black. |
