    Leeds have been drawn against Everton at Elland Road in the league cup.
    How does everyone feel about it? I'm happy with it, Means another premiership team and probably another sold out Elland Road. Getting a result is a bonus but maybe we will get a picture of how far some of our players are off from the Premiership standard

    Just a pity they're in stonkin' form so early. Normally we'd have a really good chance as they're notoriously slow starters.

    I still fancy our chances. With Warnock and Austin anything is possible.

    Good draw & we're in with a fighting chance. As said above, it will be an interesting test for a number of our players.

    Nice draw. Glad we're at home. Good crowd and Everton are probably taking this seriously so should be a good game.

    Dare say this might make the TV too.

    No chance of a sell-out because the prices will be raised to £20-25

    Not sure it will to be honest, theres a few decent games in this round. We may be down the pecking order for the TV, hope not obviously

    You obviously haven't seen the other thread on the board, if the club is sold I expect attendances will fly up almost immediately. Many people are just waiting for Bates to go

    Heard it all before. Will believe it only when announced on the Leeds website.

    Won't be close to selling out if Bates is still here. <laugh> Get real.

    Yeah you're probably right. I didn't even look at the rest of the draw before I spouted off!

    Great draw providing Bates is gone, otherwise its a disaster. Another pile of money to keep him hanging around longer.

    They will play their second string and we will see Luke Garbutt walk all over us and be left wondering what happened to the £2miill we got for him.
