    Although having said that, just looked up Rodney Marsh and he seemed to have done ok out there. I think he's still out there, thought he was dead tbph, but well and truly alive at the grand old age of 80.

    He’ll occasionally pop up with some sort of deeply un-woke opinion but he looks and sounds good for his age. You’ll remember the 1967 League Cup final I’m sure. Still a few of them with us.

    Carabao Cup draw at 4:30 is the one that excites me only to get Norwich at home and lose with the reserves out.

    Hoping for a local ish L2 side away for that. Barnet or Cheltenham or something.

    Barnet have to qualify for the first round because of some nonsense to do with 37 Prem teams qualifying for Europe this season.

    We can’t expect Nottingham Forest reserves to slum it in the second round because they might be tired playing a team of factory workers in Azerbaijan

    Yeah I think there was a year the relegated teams did. Maybe the year the league was a team short because of Bury.

    There’s never going to be a perfect solution with a 92 team competition.

    The real solution to beat the wokes is to make it a 128 team knockout by including highest ranked 36 teams from outside the 92. Straight knockout from round one- Truro v Liverpool.
