OMG u guys! I'm so stoked for the FA Cup first round this weekend!!! 
Two live matches will be broadcasted on BBC and I just can't wait to watch Brackley Town take on Notts County 
it's gonna be a nail-biter! And Eastleigh is looking fierce too, they took down Reading last year so I'm all about them 
Jason Mohammed is the best for highlights and live commentary, can't wait to see what he brings 
Digital highlights on BBC Sport website and social media are always a bonus too 
the fa cup is back and it's gonna be lit! Brackley Town vs Notts County sounds like a real barnburner, and Eastleigh taking on Walsall could be a huge upset waiting to happen 
. i'm so down for some live commentary and highlights, jason mohammed is always good at breaking down the game 
. And Eastleigh's previous win over Reading was insane! 
. Walsall's on a roll though, gotta keep an eye on that one. Who's your pick to make it through to the next round? 
. They're just gonna play a bunch of low-level teams against each other and call it the FA Cup first round. Like, who cares about Brackley Town or Eastleigh? They're never gonna be anything more than a flash in the pan, a novelty for a weekend. And don't even get me started on how BBC is just trying to make a buck off of people's lack of knowledge about football 
. The fact that they're making all these matches available online is just a way to milk the fans for more money 
. It's like they're not even trying to hide it anymore. The only reason they're putting this stuff on TV and radio is because they think people are too dumb to know what's really going on behind the scenes 
.
? it's great that they're making all the matches available on-demand too, so even if you can't catch them live, you can still cheer on your fave team
