Was never going to get much coverage...no PL team, no minnows...just 2 Championship sides. The only thing that matters is the result that puts us in the hat...I love Cup draws...and the fact that we haven't lost 3 games in row.
It was mentioned that they'd missed their own goal and they did get a fair bit of publicity on Sky. Was more sad for Darlington fans and players who may have had their last game. They went in numbers to the away match and had a whip round of £8000 for the team. Very sad...i know we were close, but I always thought we had enough going for us to get a buyer. Darlington have £400,000 debt. Really feel for them.
Another game changing red card. Seems harsh, but its the next few games that will hurt them more, he's been outstanding of late.
Here is your crib sheet: 1 Middlesbrough 2 Nottingham Forest or Leicester City 3 Manchester United 4 Dagenham & Redbridge or Millwall 5 Crawley Town 6 Notts County 7 Aston Villa 8 Tottenham Hotspur 9 Sheffield Wednesday or West Ham United 10 Milton Keynes Dons or Queens Park Rangers 11 Hull City 12 Southampton 13 Brighton & Hove Albion or Wrexham 14 Fulham 15 Birmingham City or Wolverhampton Wanderers 16 Norwich City 17 Arsenal or Leeds United 18 Derby County 19 Blackpool 20 Swindon Town 21 Swansea City 22 Macclesfield Town or Bolton Wanderers 23 Newcastle United 24 Everton 25 Sheffield United 26 Liverpool 27 Stoke City 28 Chelsea or Portsmouth 29 Watford 30 Peterborough United or Sunderland 31 West Bromwich Albion 32 Stevenage
As a Watford fan I hope not. Imagine Portsmouth languishing in the Conference, and someone like Bournemouth being on the verge of getting into Southampton's division (be that the Premier League or Championship). You'd be gagging to play that match just to highlight how far your once competitive rivals had fallen.
