Topic: League Cup 4th Round 31st October - 1st November

[Baby Huey]

At least Ole had some spunk! He still had a bit of that jamminess in him.
Ten Hag?.. useless!
Much as we're rivals, I would rather see an oil club lose!

I can see him going before we play them. That aside, as you say, they're at least a proper football club.

NOVEMBER

4 Fulham (A)
11 Luton Town (H)
25 Everton (A)

DECEMBER

2 Newcastle United (A)
6 Chelsea (H)
9 Bournemouth (H)
16 Liverpool (A)

Top 4 last season, a cup win, another final and a European run despite being crap. Ole was similar (without winning anything) but his luck run out as well.

They've been garbage for 10 years now but have relied on jamminess and favours to be half way competitive under different managers for a year or two before it inevitably crashes and burns.

You're right they have been garbage for many years now, and it baffles me how most pundits (especially Neville) are shocked each week when they play shite and get beat. It's wonderful.

Oh finally they’re doing the draw after the break

[oojason]

Oh finally they’re doing the draw after the break

Did they say which break, and which year?

[smicer07]

Oh finally they’re doing the draw after the break

Or not.

[wampa1]

The ball heating machine broke

[liversaint]

Oh finally they’re doing the draw after the break

Well, some point after it. Fuckin clowns.

[Corrie Nick]

A lot of trophy dodgers left in this completion. Domestic trophy dodgers anyway (apologies Moysey).

[TheShanklyGates]

Getting ridiculous this. How hard can it be to draw 8 numbers out of a bag?

[Hazell]

The ball heating machine broke

I could do with one of this in this weather.

[Claire.]

Doing my head in, do they not know some of us have beds to go to 😂

[Corrie Nick]

The ball heating machine broke

I just use my hands.

[cheesemason]

Probably be another ad break in a moment

[Claire.]

Hurrah!

[jillc]

What happened? I fell asleep.

[DangerScouse]

Some fucking jokers.

[RedSince86]

FFS finally.


What was the point showing the Arsenal match, then not show the rest of the games.

[Corrie Nick]

Wham at home.

[BobPaisley3]

West Ham at home

[Claire.]

West Ham at home, that’ll do then

[Angelius]

Not bad considering some of the other options. At home too.

[Corrie Nick]

One of Middlesbrough or Port Vale in the semis! How very late 90s.

[gerrardisgod]

Marco Silva to do Everton again, Chelsea and Newcastle to kick shit out of each other and we get the winners of Port Vale/Boro.

[RedG13]

Happy with that draw
there will be a Championship or League one Side in the semi finals

[TheShanklyGates]

Full draw:

Everton v Fulham
Chelsea v Newcastle
Port Vale v Middlesbrough
Liverpool v West Ham

Will take that. Home game for us, guaranteed lower league side in the semi finals and one of Chelsea/Saudis going out.

[Garlicbread]

One of Middlesbrough or Port Vale in the semis! How very late 90s.

Craig Hignett to score a brace is my guess.

[Corrie Nick]

Craig Hignett to score a brace is my guess.

An assist apiece for Robbie Mustoe and Phil Stamp.

[gerrardisgod]

Craig Hignett to score a brace is my guess.

Ian Bogie with a stunner to equalise.

[PeterTheRed ...]

Full draw:

Everton v Fulham
Chelsea v Newcastle
Port Vale v Middlesbrough
Liverpool v West Ham

Will take that. Home game for us, guaranteed lower league side in the semi finals and one of Chelsea/Saudis going out.

Very good draw. I'd love to beat Everton in the final, but they will never get there ...

[Barneylfc∗]

One of Middlesbrough or Port Vale in the semis! How very late 90s.

Was it Chesterfield v Boro in the 98 FA Cup semi and Chesterfield got shafted in injury time or something?

[1892tillforever]

Full draw:

Everton v Fulham
Chelsea v Newcastle
Port Vale v Middlesbrough
Liverpool v West Ham

Will take that. Home game for us, guaranteed lower league side in the semi finals and one of Chelsea/Saudis going out.

So the semi final draw was also done?

[Barneylfc∗]

So the semi final draw was also done?

Na it wasn't

[Schmarn]

Shame that the QF is between the Man U and Arsenal league games.

I’d like to see us field a team to win the game but appreciate its super hard for
Jurgen especially with a packed programme to come over Christmas.

As we play Sunday / Saturday, the game will have to be on Weds 20 December.

[Corrie Nick]

97. Think Boro did equalise late on to make it 3-3. A teenage Kevin Davies scored for Chesterfield! Not sure if there was anything controversial, just a bit jammy. Still. Bryan Robson’s side lost the final and for relegated so all’s well that ends well.

It helps being 3 straight homes games. Klopp will rotate with what he feels is needed

Nope, I just meant it's guaranteed that there will be a lower league team in the semis, not that we will draw one.

20.12. West Ham (h) League Cup
23.12. Arsenal (h)

17.12. Wolves (h)
20.12. LFC (a) League Cup

Interesting fixtures for both clubs ...

Yeah just checked the highlights. Sean Dyche also scored for Chesterfield then gave away the pen to make it 2-2.
The controversy was Chesterfield smashing the bar being 2-1 up. The ball bounced over the line but the goal wasn't given.

I hear you. Rotate heavily against Man Utd and go full strength against West Ham.
