Bullshit, it started last night and the best team have already gone out

Well, at least I have a run for Spurs to look forward to before we manage to blow it in stupid circumstances again...

[Lineker]

I was at the final when we beat Leicester for the Worthington Cup... Campbell lifted it... seeing that traitor injured now makes me smile.

[therockbox]

He left for better things, you'd have done exactly the same.

[AJ]

Well that was shit. Darlo had all the chances and Pools got lucky. We'd have done much better if we didn't have our shit substitute keeper on and had Sammy Russel instead. We had two penalties turned down and toward the end Konstantopolous fucking punched Sodje in the head the dirty Greek bastard. I'm still proud of Darlo, they played great but just lacked the final ball.

Yeovil beat Ipswich 2-0! At Portman Road as well! I love Yeovil, they always take down teams bigger than them but usually get beaten by a smaller side (except when we beat them. That was sweet)

[TAFKA Castroneves]

Easy 3-0, loving it! Up The City!

Ah, the hardcore fan, the ones who love a footballer to bits until he leaves - then he's wished injured for leaving for more money and better football prospects. What human would do such a thing? The scumbag.

Anyway - Grimsby face Derby tonight. It's important as my brother's girlfriend (a completely boastful cow) is from Derby so Town must beat them - or else. We beat Wigan in the first round last year and then pushed Charlton to the limit in the second round, so who knows what will happen?

[Guest Ricc]

Easy 5-0 victory for The Bantams. we got through for once.

Grimsby Town defeated Derby 1-0! YYYYEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!! Take that Rams!!! For the second season in the row, we beat a Championship team who are very high in the league. Last year, we beat Wigan who were 1st at the time (they ended up getting promoted) and at the moment, Derby are 3rd!

PARTY AT MY HOUSE!!!

[Dan]

You are still shit.

We beat you 8-1. You could beat Chelsea 3-0 and I'd still think you where shit after we beat you 8-1.

I don't disagree with you at all with that..... That was our bestest season ever...

Any thoughts on any of the ties?

[9 to 5]

Huddersfield, we should beat.

[King Ellis]

Yorkshire derby Should be a chance to get some manner of revenge against Rotheram who we didn't fare well against last year despite them being crap.

[NobBe Nobbs]

Charlton vs. Hartlepool.

I'm so putting money on us to lose. We always lose to smaller teams.

We got Reading, here I was hoping for a Prem side to beat us now wer'e just gonna get beat by a Champ side. Although on our form at the moment anything could happen. I wanted Charlton again after our 4-4 thriller a few years back.

It's true in a way. Charlton struggled like hell against Grimsby Town in the second round last time and got away with murder with two (admittedly f'n sweet - especially the first goal) set pieces.
