The draw for the first round of the Capital One Cup is at 9:30BST on Monday 17th June http://www.capitalonecup.co.uk/news/article/round-1-seedings-1314-861093.aspx
We will be up against one of the Southern Seeded sides. Who would you like to be drawn against and why?

 

[3rd eye]

I'd find it very amusing to be drawn, at home, to QPR.

 

[I am the Hermanator]

I'd be happy with pretty much any away match, bar MK dons, Brum, Peterborough and any others of equalish distance to those. I could just finish work a bit earlier, but that also means having to get up and go in earlier.

You might get a decent amount of cash out of that tie.

With the Cherries' small stadium, it might have been more profitable to have been drawn at home, but never mind, an interesting tie all the same.

Thought Cherries were adding a new away stand same size as their home stand, if finished in time this would be most helpful.

Preston v Blackpool looks the tie of the round.

If I was in charge of selecting the live TV game I'd go for Exeter v QPR

 

[PompeyLapras]

Oh ffs, it'll be the fifth time we've played friggin' Bournemouth in less than 12 months. Can't we play someone else please?

Possible banana skin for 'Arry there perhaps, methinks ?!

Never fear, 'Arry will have left by mutual agreement (with a bit of compensation, naturally) by that time.

It's worse than that, even. He need Crouchie and a couple other expensive veterans just to get them back to bare bones. As it stands, there's scarcely a speck of marrow remaining.

If you fancy an early flutter, the current odd a t skybet are Bournemouth 4/5, Pompey 3/1 and a draw (@ 90 mins?)5/2
