    Could this be the first trophy of a new era ...

    ... and how funny would the bus parade be <laugh>

    Starts before the Birmingham v Sheff Utd game and will include the likes of Man Utd, West Ham and Everton.

    We could draw any of them plus Charlton, Bromley, Coventry and Southampton.

    Sure I read somewhere the club want to do as well as possible in the cup competitions.

    We have the squad to have a go at this one

    It’s still split into sections so we definitely won’t be facing a ‘Southern’ side…

    Exactly and, tbh, Liverpool showed how little they cared which makes it a possibility.

    Newcastle won 1-0 with a penalty against Wimbledon when the game should've been played away.

    Beat five teams and you're at Wembley then anything can happen.

    Is it seeded? So we won’t play a prem team?

    We can’t draw Bromley

    It’s North/South divided

    It would be good if they did get through Hank ...

    ... means we'd have won the second round and had Bromley to play.

    Before you know it you're in the 4th round and starting to take it seriously.

    It's only the Mickey Mouse Cup until you win it, as Newcastle proved <laugh>
