The League Cup Thread

Not really - our ball could have been the opposite end of the bowl from Stoke's.

 

When I heard pompey drawn and then the number following I genuinely thought we had them at home bloody Stoke!

 

Up against Ian Holloway again. Might get to see Chappers again too. Ricardo Fuller is also there.

 

If they were to fix it why would these be the desired fixtures

 

Maybe Ronald will be the manager giving a interview, slagging off the home supporters singing "Premier league, you're having a laugh" after this one.

 

Not a bad tie really. Should be a decent atmosphere and a chance to progress. Hopefully we take it seriously.

I think there was a danger of a cushy home draw, couldn't be allowed that! You have to watch a re-run to understand what I am waffling on about.

Long time since Manu were in 2nd round!

 

The Gods of football move in mysterious ways.

 

Ron likes cups and has a good record in them. He will certainly value the chance to get more game time for the team.

 

MK Dons got a 28k sell out tonight, is it just me that thinks there'll be about 15k United fans there...

 

I'm glad we didn't get you guys, we'd have been hammered and I'd have to have avoided Not606 for a week or three.

We'll probably get hammered by Stoke, but oh well.

 

Hopefully not PL, we don't mind hammering you in the next round

 

I must be on the few fans that never wants to draw Pompey. I'm nervous enough for any match, but I couldn't bear for us to lose to them.

 

Been too long since we played Fran and still owe them one as well, I mean Steve Wigley was in charge for our last derby win for christs sake

 

Utd's defence is bad, 1-0 MK Dons.

 

Get in! The only time I want MKdonalds to win!

 

It's one of those matches which is win-win for a neutral. Either Franchise FC get knocked out, or Man U get knocked out.
