How come Wolves have players who can actually shoot and score? What’s their secret ?

Because they’ve been told what the actual point of football is, unlike our lot

[The Bear]

That'll do nicely. 

 

Bring on the draw!

Newport away.

[The Bear]

Was just going to say, Newport at home please! 

[SAFC1]

Millwall v Everton will be on TV I reckon. 

[The Bear]

Shrewsbury/Stoke. 

 

Hopefully the former. Ex Wolf Dave Edwards has just signed for the Shrews. 

[SAFC1]

Arsenal v Man U should be a cracker.

I thought it was gonna be North London derby again.

[The Doctor]

Arsenal v Man Utd.

 

So, 2 of the 6 we now need to win the tournament out before the end of January. Almost like saying "let's aim for 7th and get into Europe, sod the cup" is utterly stupid

Plenty of overtime for the Met police that weekend. 

[RowlattsFox]

Now we’re out I don’t want the big boys playing each other and opening up an opportunity missed. 

 

Lower league sides mostly got

disappointing draws. Unlucky for them.  

 

TV games most likely to be: 

 

arsenal v man utd

palace v Spurs 

AFC Wimbledon v West Ham 

Man City v Burnley 

 

BT will probably put barnet v Brentford on  a Friday night. 

[Super_horns]

Quite a few games in London and with teams who have a bit of a reputation so busy for the Met Police - and that is before Luton potentially visit Chelsea.

 

Long trip for us either way - probably be Blackburn which will be tough but winnable.

Its sickening. I'm still  livid that we've just tossed our chance away.

Yeah criticise him for playing a weakened team when they are fighting for the title and still in the champions league. 

 

You’re a good sensible poster Corky you know full well why Puel is being criticised and Klopp won’t be. 

I know why he did it but I don't think it's right that some teams can be excused (those in a relegation battle especially, being crap shouldn't mean you give up on the cups) and others can't. Puel has been criticised and correctly so.

 

Surely it is worth doing well in for everyone?

[Leicesterpool]

Chelsea always get a nice home easy tie against lower league opposition. 

[reynard]

Wolves to win it

[Steve_Walsh5]

Chelsea v Sheffield Wednesday/Luton will kick off at 18.00 on Sunday 27th January. 

 

Tottenham are away at Crystal Palace the same day but kick off at 16.00. Surely with a bit of common sense they could have swapped their kick off times around to potentially help Sheffield Wednesday fans get home a bit earlier.

[Steve_Walsh5]

25th January 19.55 BBC1 Arsenal v Man Utd

 

26th 12.30 BT Sport2 Accrington v Derby/Southampton

I swear they just pick clubs who have good away followings because they know they'll still fill out whichever day. Man Utd/Southampton/Everton/Sheffield Wednesday all awful KO times but will all still take the full capacity.

Millwall at half five on a Saturday. 

The pubs in that decrepit part of the capital will be doing a brisk trade that afternoon. 

I pity the poor scousers.

They don't have the rights to it. Don't think they ever have.

It is in something of an industrial estate but to be fair, there's a decent microbrewery near the screw fix around there (Fourpure I think?) and the bermondsey beer mile isnt too far away.

I'm sure your right about there being an occasional drinkers oasis. My point was more to do with the mentality of the locals after an afternoon session on the sauce.

I have always been aware that trouble is never far away on my visits to Millwall, especially when a "big" side is in town & a half five kick off spells trouble.
