The Capital One Cup thread 2014/15

[EddieG]

Can you go lower than an Orient fan?

[MDK]

Millwall? Anyway, 6-6 in the Daggers Brentford game, what the fuck.

[MDK]

Fucking penalties, I'm having kittens.

Fuck yes. How sweaty. Poppers flapping all over East London. They will flap no more.

Get in finally get one over on wolves

Fleetwood Town chairman Andy Pilley had a bad start to his side's Capital One Cup first-round encounter with Rotherham, turning up at the wrong ground.

The Millers relocated in July 2012 from the Don Valley Arena in Sheffield to the New York Stadium in Rotherham but it seems Pilley's navigation technology was unaware of the move.

"Disaster. We have just arrived at the Don Valley. Damn sat nav has took us to old ground," Pilley tweeted.

It meant Pilley was 4.5 miles away from the correct venue when he discovered the problem, forcing him into a quick rerouting to get to the game.

To make matters worse, Fleetwood lost the game 1-0.

Pilley later told BBC Radio 5 live: "The joys of modern technology.

"I can't remember missing a kick-off for many a year. We put Rotherham United FC in the system and turned up at the ground and my son said to me 'there is not many here is there dad?' to which I said 'there is no-one here, we are at the wrong ground!'

"I remember the good old days when you would look for floodlights and the glare would take you to the stadium."

Why are Cardiff playing in the 1st round, yet not Fulham?

Why are Cardiff playing in the 1st round, yet not Fulham?

Last line before the match ups in the opening post.

Cardiff, who finished bottom of the Premier League last season, face a trip to Coventry, but former top-flight sides Fulham and Norwich have been given byes.

I'm amazed he didn't thing something was awry when he turned up to find that they stadium was bulldozed earlier this year >_>

[Colly]

I love it when people blame things on Sat navs when clearly they're just fucking divs.

[Thrilla]

We're concentrating on the league this year >_>

[Colly]

Who the fuck is Barnum-Bobb? He's shuffled Paedophile-Catherine inside to accommodate another silly name...

[Baddar]

Burgstaller!

[Gorka]

Has Football Manager clouded my judgment or did there used to be serious hype behind Fleck?

[Colly]

I think there was. I have similar issues with Andrew Driver.

Second round draw is about to get underway on Sky Sports 1.

[MDK]

VILLA

We'll have 'em

[Lineker]

Bradford vs. Leeds and Brentford vs. Fulham drawn are a couple of local ties.

Manchester United face a visit to MK Dons!

[MDK]

Summers, Berober, Ant, Cybols, your boys will take one hell of a beating

[Baddar]

MK Dons away.

Oh well. It's been a good run.

[King Ellis]

Man Utd didn't even know there was a second round in the League Cup!
