When I heard pompey drawn and then the number following I genuinely thought we had them at home bloody Stoke!
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.
Second Round of the 2014/15 Capital One Cup Burton Albion v Queens Park Rangers Port Vale v Cardiff City Middlesbrough v Preston North End Stoke City v Portsmouth Huddersfield Town v Nottingham Forest Swansea City v Rotherham United Watford v Doncaster Rovers Millwall v Southampton Bournemouth v Northampton Town Brentford v Fulham West Bromwich Albion v Oxford United Scunthorpe United v Reading Derby County v Charlton Athletic West Ham United v Sheffield United Swindon Town v Brighton and Hove Albion Leicester City v Shrewsbury Town Crewe Alexandra v Bolton Wanderers Birmingham City v Sunderland Gillingham v Newcastle United Norwich City v Crawley Town Bradford City v Leeds United Aston Villa v Leyton Orient Burnley v Sheffield Wednesday Walsall v Crystal Palace Milton Keynes Dons v Manchester United All ties to be played during the week commencing 25th August 2014.
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.
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.
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
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.
