The Capital One Cup Thread

I see the Skates have drawn Bompey in the first round. Winner of this for us please!

[St Marco]

Want Pompey to win so we can thrash them in the next round.

But Bompey will turn them over.

 

Looking forward to reading all the hype from Allen about how it is the real south coast derby and how we should all be jealous of them owning their club.

QPR have really hit the high life with a tie against Exeter.

 

Would love to see 'Arry turn around and tell the media his squad is just not good enough to beat them and he's jealous of the sort of characters in their team he needs for QPR...

 

Oh and other great game of the first round, Northampton town vs MK Dons!

I'm looking forward to Redknapp fielding a team of under 18s against Exeter to show the chairman he needs to spend more money on players because this lot "aren't good enough".

 

Incidentally, how are :

 

P Smith, M Cranie, D Kenton , M Mills, C Baird, N McCann, R Delap, Y Folly (T Walcott, 72), N Dyer, K Jones, D Blackstock (D McGoldrick, 81)

 

doing nowadays ? I see nine players with at least a season of Prem experience, five of which have had at least 3 years at that level, plus all but Folly have been solid Championship players for at least a few years since as well...

 

Contemplating a trip to Brighton to see Newport, but it's midweek, I've already been there, and I'm slightly worried their expanded ground will be less tinpot and mockable than it was when the Amex first opened, so I'd like to retain my prejudice on that one.

I would laugh a lot if either Bournemouth or Saints ended up thrashing the Skates - I can't imagine they'll get past Bournemouth's L1 promoted side with their bunch of rejects that near the start of the season though.

[Saints Fan Dan]

A nice joyous occasion when the two sets of fans unite over how much they hate the scumaaaaaaahs, bless em.

[Trumush]

Have we not moved on from wanting to be associated with either of these scum ???????

Yep, but I love a good derby day. And not like there is a lot going on here at the moment.
