The League Cup (aka Carabao Cup)

​

Plenty of League Cup action tonight with Welsh Clubs Cardiff City and Newport County safely through to the next round after wins over Portsmouth and Southend respectively.

The second round draw will take place at 10pm on Thursday on Sky Sports with the majority of Premier League teams, including the Swans, joining the competition.

It would be nice to have a little cup run to keep all our squad happy and even pick up a trophy.....

 

Are Everton in the draw too? Watch us draw them

 

Saw the Newport team board their coach today at the Holiday Inn at the Coldra.

To compare the cars they got out of with the cars our boys drive.........

Worlds apart

 

And ever widening Taff!

 

Absolutely

There was one guy loading up the coach with sarnies and pizzas........

Looked like a Welsh League team set up from my playing days........

 

I hope you didn't pinch a sandwich!

 

Because they're in Europe they enter the competition in the third round.

 

MK Dons v Swans

 

I must be paranoid because Cardiff seem to always get drawn home whilst we get drawn away and how the hell are Newport in the Northern Group.

 

Newport v Leeds ....to be played in Leeds!

 

Because both them and West have have to play away, so to make sure they weren't drawn against each other put in opposite sides of the draw.

 

The Carabao Cup fourth-round draw will be live on Sky Sports, following the conclusion of the third-round games tonight.

Following last night's matches, 11 teams are definitely in the draw:

Bournemouth, Middlesbrough, Norwich, Bristol City, Crystal Palace, Leeds, Leicester, Swansea, Tottenham, West Ham and Wolves.

Tonight, holders Man Utd should beat Burton, Arsenal should beat Doncaster and Chelsea should defeat Forest. I also think Citeh will win at WBA.

Boro at home anyone?

 

Let's hope Utd, City, Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea and Leicester draw each other. I'd fancy any of the others at home.

We'll get Utd or City away though

 

Everton at home could be interesting....

 

Gylfi to forget he's in blue and score a winning own goal for us

Chelsea 4-0 Nottingham Forest

At 17 years and six days old, Ethan Ampadu is the youngest player to make an appearance for Chelsea since Michael Woods in January 2007.

Kwame's son

 

Man United at home!

You were almost correct Valley !

At least we are home - oh, hang on, we've already lost 0-4 to them at home this season.....

 

Saw this, got over 30 minutes too, great stuff! He's part of the Welsh squad set up too isn't he, future looking bright!

 

FFS, the type of draw we always wanted as a lower league club, but rarely got.

 

Well at least we can be the ones who knock out the reigning cup holders
