Bournemouth's exit to Boreham Wood this evening means that all of our opponents in last seasons competition have now been knocked out

Well the path to the final certainly does look a lot harder this season! I mean there’s only 6 teams left that made it this far last season left in the cup now, still I’d of thought that at least one of the “top 6” would have a slip up next round

I was wondering Nick, when was the last time we faced a non-league team in the FA Cup home or away? despite my 40 plus years of watching Saints I honestly can't remember one, but it must have happened. I have seen us play lower league sides obviously but I can't think of a non-league draw and game for us.

Luton a few years ago were actually in the conference when we played them in the cup, before that it was back in the 1950's i think

The last time we didn't make the 3rd round was 1961/62 when we lost to Rochdale in the firs tround after a replay , 0-0 at the Dell and then lost 2-1 away.

Our last game against a non league side aside from Luton was in 1958/59 when we beat Woking at home 4-1

Wrong.

We played Sunderland in the 3rd round in 1961/62 and the following season we reached the semi-final.

The last time we failed to make the 3rd round was 1957/58, when we lost 1-0 away to Crystal Palace in the 2nd round.

We would have been in the third round automatically in 61-62 by dint of being in the second division surely? Are you not getting mixed up with the league cup, because I'm sure Rochdale got to the final that year

Yep, and we beat Walton & Hersham in the first round that year which, I believe, was the last time we played a non-league team until we were drawn against Luton in 2010.
Delving a bit deeper, it seems that we've only failed to make the third round five times since the start of the First World War. As a comparision, our nearest and dearest have failed to make the third round five times in the last nine years.

And Rochdale reached the League Cup Final that year. We got drawn against them again in 1965 and beat them.
