Gabby, you know what to do...

Brilliant fun! Been way too long since we played them.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Initially I was excited and now the feeling of dread is sinking in

[olaftab]

Shit on the city

We are better than that. No need for us to sing this.

I would rather we face a top PL team at this stage as this is the round when they play reserves  but Small Heath it is.

Full strength team needed for this, they've improved a lot under Rowett and we know our record v lower league in recent times.

Don't like the midweek aspect of this so will probably watch in the pub and go to Walsall-Chelsea instead as I assume they'll be on separate nights.

Rowett clearly done a good job. Sunderland need a new manager mind.

Knuckledraggers won't be able to sleep tonight. This is all their wet dreams come true at once.

Poor draw I'd quite happily never play that shower of shit ever again.

[FrankyH]

Grealish  to break his duck in front of the Holte End for this one.

Wouldn't Miss this one for the world

Poor draw I'd quite happily never play that shower of shit ever again.

This; was not happy to hear the draw as I drove home this evening.

Shit on the city

We are better than that. No need for us to sing this.

In fact, this draw ensures that this and related songs will increase in frequency and volume up to, during and after the actual match.

Entertaining both elements of the axis of evil in less than a week. How delightful. I'm going to be Ireland for the Small Heath game. Don't know if this is something I should be pleased about or not :-/

Let's not get our knickers wet.They never play up at VP most of them will come by coach and they will lucky to get 2,000 tickets.
As for on the pitch the team should be too good for them.

Noticed Baggie Boy Gregg Evans from the Mail retweet Colin Twattum...

"Cracking Capital One Cup tie that. Big draw for Villa welcoming the 2011 competition winners. #BCFC"

United in jealousy.
