This week, the Match of the Day Live operation moves from the first round of the FA Cup to England's last international of 2006 on Wednesday.

Weymouth v Bury was as good an early-round Cup tie as we've shown in the five years we've had the contract. A 2-2 draw, good football, harmony between players, officials, managers and supporters: all in all, a great day out.

Not to mention excellent fish and chips and glorious sunshine as we filmed the harbourside opening sequence. Even the coach journey back to London went smoothly.

Just time to pick our live second-round tie - Salisbury v Forest (BBC ONE, 1pm Sun 3rd Dec) - before we head off to Amsterdam for the England game on Wednesday.
