[DuncanRG]

When do the games take place? I'd like an away day if I'm back up north.

[CB Fry]

what ever the draw, a few on here will respond with 'boring'

 

...presumably you are "not bothered" about who we face?

Boring.

[S-Clarke]

How utterly atrocious do Newcastle look this season? Shocking.

[Lallana's Left Peg]

Its a lot shorter than us winning the league.

 

Yes but it is not a "good" chance is it? It perhaps represents our best chance of success this season, but it is hardly one which we should be directing our focus in.

 

If we got to the semi-final I can see personnel changing a bit however until then I think the club will be focussing on finishing as high up in the league as is possible.

[teenagegsaint]

Swindon, Bristol City or Bournemouth away

I see a big pay day for AP in the near future.

Same. He looks like he could be heading out of the door first at this rate........

 

Not sure what went so wrong after their top 5 finish.

[Saint Garrett]

Pardew seems to have turned Newcastle into a real relegation side. Clueless, one dimensional, and don't look like scoring at all. Morecambe have run them ragged tonight.

[aintforever]

Easy home game please, this is a comp we have a chance of winning.

[Batman]

newcastle do like to 'throw it into the mixer'

[Colinjb]

Drawn just about to begin.

[Colinjb]

[Batman]

That is one game on telly then. They play each other this weekend too

[Colinjb]

West Ham v Cardiff City

Manchester City v Wigan

Burnley v Nottingham Forest/Millwall

[Saint Garrett]

Home tie Vs Bristol City - decent winnable game - just hope the club make it cheap enough to get in a decent crowd!

[Colinjb]

Newcastle v Leeds United

SAINTS v Bristol City

[Minsk]

Home to Bristol City

 

Very winnable. Happy with that.

[Batman]

Great tie.

Should be able to play a very rotated team and get through

[Shroppie]

Home to Bristol City

 

Simples. We will walk this cup.

[Olallana]

Time to do some ghost chasing then?

[Lallana's Left Peg]

That is a great draw for us, a home tie and a chance to use the same squad that beat Barnsley.

[trousers]

Nice kit...

 

[Shroppie]

Lot of all Prem ties.

[Colinjb]

Other games:

 

West Brom v Arsenal

[Batman]

Good host of good teams will be knocked out next round. Just need more luck in the draws and we can get far

[Saint Garrett]

Enables us to play loads of the kids too. Sweet.

[qwertySFC]

SRL will get a nice reception then if he plays

[stevegrant]

4 all-Premier League ties, will be a fifth if Everton get past Stevenage.

[Turkish]

What date are games?

[S-Clarke]

Good tie, and even better in that there are loads of prem teams facing eachother.

 

The path could be made a hell of a lot easier...

[stevegrant]

What date are games?

24/25 September

[shurlock]

Did the double over us -very few clubs have managed that in the last few years.

[alehouseboys]

Should pull in a decent crowd to see the youngsters, Brizzle will bring 3k+.

Ta.

They are in good company with Man United and Leicester.

Bet they don't

[itchen_dan]

Get through that tie and the next round could look pretty good. Potential for LOTS of all Prem ties. My prediction on teams to get through:

 

Man Utd

Posh

West Ham

Man City

Nottm Forest

SAINTS

Arsenal

Chelsea

Stoke

Watford

Spurs

Hull

Leicester

Swansea

Fulham

[Glasgow_Saint]

Bristol City beat Premier League Crystal Palace to reach the third round of the League Cup for the first time in 10 years.

[Dr Who?]

Fulham away would be perfect for me.

 

Sorry, but we are beating them in the final.

[BlakeySFC]

Nice easy win.

 

May as well of given us a bye

Regrettable?

[Barry Sanchez]

It does not get much better than that for a chance to progress, lets hope we take it.

[Chewy]

Great draw, but could be as many as 13 or 14 premier league sides in the last 16. Very happy but a bit early to get too excited. Need a few upsets to help clear the way.

It will be a terrible 1/4 final.....................

[The9]

The worst team left in the competition at St Mary's. Not sure why any Saints fan would want anything else. Good chance of winning this cup, so the easier the route to the final the better.

 

I'd like us to play the nearest team to St Mary's whose ground I haven't already been to, not sure why any Saints fan would want anything else. I couldn't give a toss about us possibly winning it until we get to the QFs, and this year it's pretty clear everyone's had the same idea, so last season's Final will probably be replaced by a Manchester/London top 6 Prem team clash.
