Carling Cup 3rd Round Draw

I'm sure Reo-Coker will be keen to play in this one... we should beat this lot though!

I rather fear the days of dismissing teams like Bolton as 'this lot' as if we are some big club looking down from our lofty pearch as one of the elite of the Premier League may be over?

Bolton have got a great team this year, some really talented players in Chris Eagles, Gary Cahill (as we know), Kavin Davies, jussi jaaskelainen, Tuncay, Ivan Klasic, Reo-Coker etc.

Personally I find this a bit of a tough draw, the sort of game that gets dubbed a 'banana skin' by our media adversaries.

No, Bolton are still shite.

We are at home, both teams will be under strength, Bolton never win at ours do they...........so should be confident about this definitely !

I thought Reo-Coker went to Barcelona?

After the last two times we have met them in cup games,i am expecting another hard fought game with little to choose between us.Still it could have been Man City away.
