For me if someone had have said pick a team you don't want to be drawn against, other than the obvious top 4, it would be Bolton....



It's Bolton wanderers at home mate, when did they suddenly become this fearsome force to avoid at all costs ?

Stoke at home might be worse.

Jesus Christ it's Bolton, why the fuck do we have to shit ourselves against them all of a sudden.  At home and all.

One of the most comprehensive leaving you breathless spectacle's of a thrashing I've ever had the painful experiences of watching was a Bolton v Aston Villa Carling Cup game a few years ago when a certain Jay Jay Okocha ripped us one mighty big ass hole, and didn't they give us a decent game back in March of this year.

Oh yes Bolton on there day can be a real pain.

Just like the Wolves pre-match thread, we were going to beat them right? This match will be determined by team selection, ie who can put out the worst team

If he takes it seriously we're favourites. He won't though and we'll lose. 2-0. In front of about 15,000 people.

I expect AM will play a strong team for this (but may depend on injuries, league games around the same time and what players are actually still at the club). Our best hope is that Cahill will be sold in this transfer window and Coyle rests a few players.

It might make me a selfish so and so, but I always want us to get drawn away to a little club or a ground that I haven't see us play at. Frickin Bolton at home is the most uninspiring draw I could think of. Will they bring 200?. I reckon about 16-17000 attendance tops.
