Preferably someone we can still play the stiffs and the kids against but won't be viewed as a disaster if we go out. Away tie to one of our promotion rivals - let them have the headache

I chose Millwall because I want revenge for the 1-0 defeat at their place when Lambert never got off his seat, Danny Shittu was made to look like Paul McGrath, us travelling fans were kettled for two hours in sub zero temperatures, the police forced us to go to London Bridge whether we wanted to or not while they completely ignored a Millwall ambush on two coach loads of our fans.  Plus the pelting of our players with plastic bottles and similar debris.  Redress for that game from hell is long overdue.

We can beat them in the League. Let's get an easier League Cup draw. And it was two-one.

Accrington Stanley at home. £1 a ticket. Full house.

I was there that night. Our mini bus got pulled over on the way there by police checking to see who were, but yes, it was a very unpleasant experience all round.

It was 2-1, Bent scored fore Villa, not 1-0.

Cheltenham or Bristol Rovers away, fairly local.

Or someone like Accrington at home.

Was it 2-1?  My brain probably ceased to function at 1-0 when the temperature fell below zero.  Everything else I related is true.  My take, probably due to my age, is that I fear no opposition.  I don't dream of soft rides to the cup or to promotion.

MK Dons away

What allocation would we get?

As many as you want 9000 is not uncommon

I'm rooting for this one too as it's just up the road for me

Bury, MK Dons, Accrington or Newport. I've never seen us play any of them. Preferably at home for convenience/laziness.

I'll reserve judgement until I've heard what QuintonVilla has to say on the matter  ;D
