    Woohoo...something else to discuss other than the no.11 shirt lying forgotten on the dressing room floor.

    Who do we want then? I'm going for Accrington Stanley.

    I refuse to use that sponsor name so, League Cup second round draw.

    Live on Sky Sports News at 12:30.


    POTENTIAL OPPONENTS: Preston, Barnsley, Bournemouth, Brentford, Newport, Bury, Cheltenham, Peterborough, Doncaster, Bristol City, Leyton Orient, Accrington, Millwall, Morecambe, MK Dons, Walsall, Rotherham, Burton, Yeovil, Stevenage, Swindon, Tranmere, Notts County, Carlisle, Huddersfield.


    Saints are seeded, and can therefore only face the above, unseeded potential opponents.


    Will update and post full draw later.

    Apologies also to Tom, who I initially told that it was a 13:30 draw time. Hopefully he sees this.

    You beat me by two minutes as I typed in the potential opponents.

    Your thread should go though, for calling it anything other than the league cup. ;)

    On a serious note, I'm sure the mods will merge.

    I am in agreement that we should be calling it the League Cup. Perhaps if we pay no attention to sponsors they will **** off and stop ******ing competition names. Maybe we could try and bring back division 1, 2, 3, etc as well.

    An away game close to me would be nice. MK Dons or Stevenage.

    The most worrying thing is I typed it without even thinking. Got to shoot off, something inside my head is telling me to go to their website and open a card on 1290% APR, sounds like a steal!

    It's OK, I wandered by and merged the thread before I saw your appeal. This way we keep League Cup [I don't like sponsors names heading up competitions either] and your thread too.

    Woohoo something other than non exist ant transfers to discuss!
    MMDons or Peterborough please.
    Both local to us East Mids Saints and both have grounds that I loved visiting when we were in the lower leagues!

    Saints should withdraw from the competition. It's pointless.

    Let's withdraw from the premier league too, after all we're not going to win it, so it's pointless.

    I would like Bournemouth as a bit of local interest, but really anyone at home. Carlisle away would be a bit of a hike. The League Cup is a big chance for success to a team like us and it is the first one decided. Mauricio says he will take it seriously, but all managers say that, then rest half the team.

    Only resting half the team is taking it seriously! ;)

    When is the second round played? Anyone?

    Usually the last week of August, probably 27th/28th I would guess.

    If we are drawn away, would be a chance to buy away tickets (albeit midweek).
