Looking at the draw, at least 6 prem team's will be out after round 4. City out along with Pool or Man U. It's wide open I reckon.
Both north east teams fielded virtually full strength against weaker opponents aswell, it seems we're both taking it seriously this year, real chance of silverware. Then again, if we'd beaten Blackburn in the League Cup we would have only had to beat championship teams to get a day out at Wembley.
