    Newcastle are probably 4th favourites to win this cup now...

    Need the draw to go well tomorrow

    And Chelsea. I know one of City and Chelsea had to go out but it still counts. Half of Sky's Big 6 have gone out already and Man Utd have to face a Villa side tomorrow who trashed them at the weekend. Emery will put out a very strong side I don't doubt that for a moment, will Ten Hag?

    Away to 3/4 clubs are the only thing I'd be wary of (City, Pool, Utd/Villa, Brighton, etc). A nice easy home tie tomorrow night please alongside a Villa-City and Brighton-Liverpool draw would be grand thanks

    Gosh, it’s nice to be thinking about a cup draw again isn’t it. Normally it’s a once-per-cup experience and that’s our lot!

    They'll have to beat City pool or Man united mote than likely or 2 of them. I think it's still way against the odds , but the draws could be key.

    r3: 32 teams (20 premiership)

    r4: 16 teams (10 premiership)

    So the premiership teams haven't done any better than the non-premiership ones this round.

    Had a couple of runs under Bruce, but this time you feel there's a remote chance the 60 year wait could end.. thats the big difference

    You knew the moment we faced the first XI of a top ten team we'd be going out. Most of the time we never go far enough through the competitions to even get to facing them though.

    I don't blame Bruce for any of that though. That was the reality of the situation he was managing, there weren't enough resources to enable making a cup a priority.

    Yeah but in that case the experience was “I hope we meet another 3rd division team in the next round too, because otherwise we’re f*cked!”

    Radio was saying that this was only the second time we’d beaten premier league opposition in the league cup since the last time we beat Palace in 2014!

    Pope's 3 saves out of 5 pens were immense. England might need that in the WC.

    BUT... despite all the usual loving he gets, WTF was that pen from Bruno?? <laugh><laugh>

    That's how Brazilians take penalties.
