League Cup draw today.
Who do you want ?
I personally like an away draw at a ground Ive not been to.
Looking through thats Milton Keynes, Northampton, or Millwall for me.

-
My guess is Swansea.
-
I'd like the worst team, at home, for every draw.
-
I dont mind aslong as it is at home and against shit opposition.
-
We will get Leicester. We will lose.
-
As long as we avoid Vienna.
-
What time is the draw?

Thanks CJ. I'll switch over.

Will they ever stop yapping?

Will they ever stop yapping?
Not just yapping, for a while it was yapping about the horror show last week. Get on with it Sky, please. Watching men watching football is a strange concept.

Home draw is the main thing, job's a good 'un.

Did anyone else think we'd drawn Blues when they pulled number 4 out of the hat?

Notice Us, Small Heath, Baggies and Wolves all at home when ties are played that week. Thats a nice one for the police to mess about with and start issuing their orders.
-
That's us out then.
-
That's us out then.
If your wrong and we make the final again, you wont be going then?
-
Does it really censor Scunthorpe?
-
Yes, because there is a swear-word contained within. Blose and Baggies can play on Tuesday, us and Wolves on the Wednesday please. Only thing is I fancy it might be on telly (it was six-four last time) so I am worried we'll get moved to the Thursday slot. Don't like Thursday games, for some reason.
-

I know that, it just looks odd.
When I was a kid I laughed myself silly at graffiti in a public toilet when we were on holiday that said "IF TYPHOO PUT THE T IN BRITAIN*, WHO PUT THE ****** IN SCUNTHORPE".
* For our younger readers that was their advertising catchphrase at the time.
-
That was a bit brave of Scunthorpe Council.
-
Reminds of "The Hours" which I watched yesterday. Virginia Woolf says "if it's a choice between Richmond or death, I choose death."
The Surrey Tourist Board have yet to adopt the slogan.
-
Dunn for them Sidwell for us - 1-1, out on pens.
-
Is it decided on the night or will it go to a replay?
-
On the night
-
I predict the lowest attendance at VP for a very long time.
-
On the night
Thanks - Yes of course it does - how could I forget Sunderland last season!
-
If it's anything like the semi final last year. I can't wait. That game was great. One of the best i've been to. Atmosphere was electric!
-
If the tickets are reasonably priced, say £10 for adults and £5 for kids/concessions then I think there would be a pretty decent crowd.
-
Who will Allardyce be managing?
-
Who will Allardyce be managing?
Go on
-
Who will Allardyce be managing?
Go on
He wont leave Blackburn...Fingers crossed
-
I hope to see Sidwell, Isiah Osbourne and Salifou in a midfield three for this game. A mouth watering prospect I'm sure you'll agree.

The trouble with thi sort of draw is that with it being a mid-week match, in the early stages of the cup, against another PL club the ground is likely to be three quaters full. Another thing is if we win it won't be a big deal, as its only the third round, and we are expected to win, then again if we lose it would put a damper on thinks not least after going out of Europe. But at the end of the day this computation has to be important to us again this season, so lets just get the win even if its a poor game.
