Saint_clark Posted 13 August, 2008 Posted 13 August, 2008 We always get a **** draw,teams we play quickly in succession or teams that recur over a few seasons...typical Saints... Lowe/Burley/Alpine_saint/Wilde/Crouch/Tony Blair out!
Saint Matty 76 Posted 13 August, 2008 Posted 13 August, 2008 Anyone know the full draw? Thanks in advance as this is my third post. ¬_¬

trousers Posted 13 August, 2008 Posted 13 August, 2008 Suspect Coventry V Toon,and us possibly will be on the telly box.IMO. Mind you,they might fancy an upset with Forest at home to Sunderland. Leeds v Palace probably a contender too
saint boggy Posted 13 August, 2008 Posted 13 August, 2008 any confirmation on when the game will be played?
Whitey Grandad Posted 13 August, 2008 Posted 13 August, 2008 any confirmation on when the game will be played? In the week beginning the 25th August. There is an REM concert at the Rose Bowl on Wednesday 27th so I would expect Tuesday 26th.
SaintDonkey Posted 13 August, 2008 Posted 13 August, 2008 Leeds v Palace probably a contender too Forest Sunderland a TV banker surely
NickG Posted 13 August, 2008 Posted 13 August, 2008 bet Birmingham would have preferred a lot of other draws
Totton Red Posted 13 August, 2008 Posted 13 August, 2008 Brighton v Man City for me.....got all the ingredients for a cup match especially with the current focus on MCFC and its top (corrupt?) dog
Chris Larkin Posted 14 August, 2008 Posted 14 August, 2008 Brighton v Man City for me.....got all the ingredients for a cup match especially with the current focus on MCFC and its top (corrupt?) dog Apparently that's being moved because it clashes with City's UEFA Cup ties (only 8 teams in European competition get a bye to the third round - City, as the 9th team, qualifying through the Intertoto, have to take part in the League Cup second round). I think I might have heard a few weeks ago that City had been given permission to play this tie during the week other clubs play the third round ties - in which case this almost certainly won't be on television. Cov - Newcastle sounds like a good bet for the TV game, Cov have lots of money and Chris Coleman, Newcastle are supposed to be popular. A chance for the upset, too. I'm not really happy with the draw for us, we have a chance of getting through, but not a great one. At least we're almost certain not to go out to a League Two side for the fourth year running, mind...
alpine_saint Posted 14 August, 2008 Posted 14 August, 2008 Oh well, we got one round further than last year. Progress of a sort...
Professor Posted 14 August, 2008 Posted 14 August, 2008 If we beat Brumingham on Saturday, which I believe we will, the draw will look like a door into round 3. This comp brings in more gate money so I'm sure the club will take it seriously. True, fans don't find the early rounds of the League Cup very exciting but I still remember being very excited in 1979.
sainthomer Posted 14 August, 2008 Posted 14 August, 2008 I hope the club do the decent thing and put prices down so there is a good attendance.
Saint Martini Posted 14 August, 2008 Posted 14 August, 2008 Apart from Manchester City it would seem.... They qualified through the fairplay thingy, that probably why they are still counted as a club that hasn't qualified for a european competition. Anyway Brum at home isn't exactly an exciting tie.
Iowsaintsfan Posted 14 August, 2008 Posted 14 August, 2008 oooh Joy Brum and Kevin Philips again! woo
itchen_dan Posted 14 August, 2008 Posted 14 August, 2008 hopefully will be a sky sports job and show the rest of the country how good our youth setup is and give them a good whooping twice in 10 days!
tiger Posted 14 August, 2008 Posted 14 August, 2008 I think Fulham v Leicester will be on sky I hear the away side have a highly thought of young manager?
buctootim Posted 14 August, 2008 Posted 14 August, 2008 I hear the away side have a highly thought of young manager? Hes 45!
once_bitterne Posted 14 August, 2008 Posted 14 August, 2008 I hear the away side have a highly thought of young manager? Nah. Only if they sack Mr Number 2 Pearson before they Fulham match.... Does 44 count as young! LOL!
