EFL Cup draw - round 4

We never seem to get a home tie.

 

beat them
beat Preston in quarter
beat Burnley in semi
beat Leeds in final
piece of piss

 

we will in the semi mate

 

I think we will play full strength team for this.

 

****e draw. This fixture looks 50/50. We have a decent chance of progressing, though.

 

A place I've never been to....and I'm in the Lakes that week so I won't be going then.

 

Was a dive to be honest dunno if it’s changed much ha.

 

8 of of 9 draws of the last 3 seasons drawn away ! The big teams kept apart also, but we can get through

 

Beat QPR and our names on the cup.

 

we deserved a home tie for a change like...could have been 'better' but i think a nice chance to progress, the lads have nowt to lose and can go and have fun.

 

still is a dump, but handy for us in the London branch. That’s a game I could realistically get to, and one we’ve a chance of progressing into the next round

 

Another bore draw.

 

We’ll be competitive in the tie and it’ll be a good bench mark of who is good enough when we get back to the championship .

 

Same as the cup winners cup, and even the europa league. Its not about winning silverware anymore it all cash.
Given the choice most bigger clubs would prefer to get as far as getting out of the group stages in the champions league than they would of winning the europa league simply because there is more money involved.

 

My first away match was a defeat at Loftus Road . . . . in the F.A. Cup 3rd round on Saturday 3rd January, 1970 when the result was QPR 4-1 South Shields

It was a long journey home after the Cockney twats had smashed a few of our coach windows, too (when winters were real winters)

 

My eldest son was Sunderland mascot for that game ....

.... beat Norman with a penalty in the warm up.

We were taken to meet the Sunderland players, pre-match, and Bracewell was having a series of injections into his messed up legs. While he was having them he was chatting away to us and signing autographs

 

Great draw for us. They are an established Championship side so will be a good benchmark as to where we need to be.

 

They attack, especially at home, and aren't a bunch of cloggers.

If we come away having scored a couple, entertained the fans and without any injuries I'll be well pleased.

I think I'll go to it anyway ...

.... just hope the imbecile with the sombrero is within pie hurling distance.

I wonder if he nicked it off @Somebodys pinched my sombrero

 

I will go as well if I can.
