Northampton Town lasted just a round as our team to follow in this year's FA Cup and now, wait for it.... we have bloody Palace!Northampton included ex-Addick and recently named League Player of the Month Scott McLeish, ex Arsenal 'keeper Lee Harper and Scottish International Eion Jess in their line up at Selhurst Park, but it wasn't enough as the Croydon boys beat the Cobblers 4-1 on Saturday.
In a weekend of Cip shocks, Palace laboured to victory with Andrew Johnson starring the day after seeing a bid from his ex employers Birmingham City turned down.
MICHAEL HUGHES' free-kick put the home side ahead before JOSH LOW levelled for the visitors in the first half.
JOBI McANUFF restored the lead before half-time but the Cobblers responded well after the break, with Andy Kirk going close to an equaliser.
But penalties by JOHNSON, following one of his typical 'dives in the box' and DOUGIE FREEDMAN put the Eagles in round four.
Cobblers: Harper, Doig, Chambers, Bojic (Brett Johnson 79), Crowe, Low, Taylor, Jess (Mendes 73), Hunt, Kirk, McGleish.
Subs Not Used: Bunn, Cross, Bonner.
MoM: Andy Kirk
Attendence: 10,391
The draw will take place Monday as *cough* Crystal Palarse become our Road to Wembley side.
