    Ex-Man Utd defender Phil Neville on MOTD

    "It was a magnificent save. It was a brilliant cut-back from Jonathan Franks for Sidney Schmeltz."

    You're quite right Jonathan - Michael Woods made two appearances for Chelsea in the FA Cup and he's still only 24. On the way back up? Pools well on top.

    Jonathan Calder:, external Michael Woods playing for Hartlepool? I remember him coming on as a sub for Chelsea.

    Jonathan Woodrow:, external Enjoying the coverage. Interesting back stories, well-presented. Shearer is loving life and Sinclair conducts a decent interview.

    Wayne Sharpe:, external Forget Shearer. I once spent six months living/working in Hartlepool years back. Love the place ... especially Chicago Rock!

    The away fans still making plenty of noise - but Hartlepool's strong start could take the wind out of their sails. Sidney Schmeltz is a box of tricks, bursting into the box again and winning a corner.

  5. GREAT SAVE!published at 19:58 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2014

    What a save! One of the great FA Cup stops! OK, maybe a bit strong - but that is brilliant!

    Blyth keeper Peter Jeffries hurls to his left and somehow keeps out a fine header from Sidney Schmeltz. Tremendous stop.

    Daniel Woodley:, external Absolutely fantastic away support for Blyth Spartans tonight! Hope they pull off a cup shock.

    Scott Hunter:, external Would love to see Blyth Spartans win and get Newcastle away in the third round.

    Anthony Baldock:, external Surely they are not both playing In kits with white stripes?

    Afraid so Anthony, better put your spectacles on and move the chair a little closer to the tele. More tweets please at #bbcfacup or pop on to the BBC Facebook page.

    Hartlepool start very well, former West Ham striker Marlon Harewood sliding in Michael Woods - but he's stopped by a decent tackle. Blyth looking to keep the ball on the deck.

    Leslie Ingledew:, external 2-1 to Blyth even though I'm a Hartlepool United supporter.

    Now we know footie fans are pessimists at the best of times but come on Leslie, surely things aren't that bad?

    "There's a real, real chance of an upset. The fans want it to happen and they expect it to happen. There are goals in Robbie Dale and Daniel Maguire. Those two guys and manager know Hartlepool concede goals and they concede too many."

  11. Football rememberspublished at 19:51 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2014

    Football Remembers Week is to commemorate the centenary of one of the most iconic moments of the First World War - the 1914 Christmas Truce football match.

    For the matches that take place in the Premier League, the Championship and the FA Cup second round, all 22 players who start the match will pose together in a group photograph as a mark of respect to those that played in the 1914 Christmas Truce match.

    Teams are being asked to upload a pre-game photo this weekend to social media with the hashtag #footballremembers.

    Kelvin:, external Blyth supporter from Hong Kong cheering them on (it's because I played them on Football Manager, got the team to League One!)

    And a warning for sharply-dressed MOTD pundit Trevor Sinclair...

    Steven Liggett:, external Not sure that flash harry hat will go down well in Hartlepool, Trev.

    Blyth manager Tom Wade: "We've had long training sessions in the freezing cold. It's my home town club - I never dreamt that this would happen. It's a fantasy - massive chance to go through."

    "Hartlepool's league form has been awful. They have won one in 13, but this is a great opportunity for them. There is no pressure."

    Apart from being on live TV in front of the nation, obviously...

    The teams are out at Craven Cottage. Almost go time in tonight's football.

  19. Hartlepool v Blyth Spartans (19:55 GMT)published at 19:42 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2014

    "I've noticed the quality in lower leagues is good, it's just the consistency and reproducing it week in week out that makes the difference.

    "If Blyth don't freeze on the night, they've got every chance because there isn't much between the two sets of players."

    Freeze mentally - or physically?

    The BBC cameras have followed Blyth midfielder Matthew Wade all day as he did a morning at work, then got a haircut before heading down to Hartlepool.

    A plush pre-match meal at 16:00 - push the boat out lads. Anyone following Alan Shearer's pre-match routine of chicken and beans?
