Rubbish draw, very disappointing. Man Utd drawn out and THEN we came out. Just a little bit too late, shame we couldn't have a proper League Cup game.

That draw was... Uninspiring! Though Chelsea were the only 'attractive' draw left at that point. Avoided an away trip up north (but unsure if that's a good thing).

What's the big problem?
Home tie.
Opposition from our league, so we can continue to give game time to a number who don't play in the Championship regularly
Solly, Uwe, Goldson back by then
Two new signings in the squad by then?

Struggling to think of a duller possible fixture. At least we could win it.

Decent chance to progress. Good that Newcastle have also got a winnable tie. Benitez loves a cup run. So would the Geordie faithful.

If this game was taking place in my back garden, I wouldn't open the curtains to watch it.

Great draw - no distractions needed for now - home tie and can play the fringe players & kids again.

Sure I'm prob in the minority but league is all that matters again this season.

We don't have a good record in cup draws do we.
Sunderland, Newcastle, Liverpool and Arsenal in recent seasons - not too shabby...

Reading through? Not for me, Clive.
