Who have we lost to since then? QPR and Charlton in the last 2 years were always going to be difficult ties!

Wycombe, Brentford, Charlton and QPR. 4 consequetive home ties.

An absolute disgrace.

Hmm. I remember the Brentford game now. We're not very good at penalties are we!

At least we brought that run to an end.

The worst League Cup run in our history?

Am I right in saying that it's seeded again so the worst we could get is a Championship side? They'll be no Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Everton, Aston Villa or Fulham either.

Not possible as the draw is seeded. We'll either get a Premiership or a Championship club I think. Peterborough away is a possibility alas.

Do all the Premiership teams join at this stage or is it just the bottom half?

The ones not in European competition I think is what they said on SSN last night. I watched a lot of that channel last night if you can't tell, in the hope of catching the goals from our game. I gave up and hoped to see them this morning. Saw all of them but McGoverns :(

I've seen McGoverns three times, they keep putting it on before they go to Ad Breaks.
