Capital One Cup

[zuricity]

a great draw and hopefully not too far for midweek travel in the semis

[Wonderwall]

Hull next, I am not counting any chickens, we are favourites for the cup now, but any team can win on the day. Its a cup game and we should not get complacent.
After all remember Bradford against Chelsea! It can happen to any team if they don't have their focus on the task.

I am just happy its a home draw, I hope its a full house next game, I hate seeing the 3rd tier closed

Tonight will be no walkover. Palace have no need to husband their resources for a relegation fight and can afford to go for it. Chelsea and Arsenal are out, beat us and they'll fancy their chances to go all the way

Goes to show that I know sweet frig all about this bloody game!!

What WE know. Haha I had exactly the same feeling before the game

Very good night, well worth the long drive home from working in the North East, apart from being stuck in rag traffic on the way in. Goals and assists from youngsters, through to the next round, they get extra time so they don't get in my way on the way home, a home draw, and just as I pull up outside the house, Alan Green says 'now Rooney, he's a man who knows how to take a penalty ....... Saved!'. hahaha.

I hope Zaba is okay though.

I must have mis-heard him. I thought Green said 'now Rooney, he's a man who know how to eat plenty.'

Hull City should be a good draw but its right in the middle of a brutal stretch of games from late Nov-early Dec with only 3 or 4 days between matches. matches that include Soton, Liverpool, and the last 2 CL games.

[Tokyo Blue]

According to this, the Hull match is on the Tuesday night.

We play Stoke on the Saturday after and they also play on the Tuesday night so that seems fair enough for both.
