Carling Cup Semi Finals et al

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Usual kind of cup draw really. Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea get cushy home ties while pick of the round goes to Tottenham vs Liverpool.

Two non Premiership teams are guaranteed places in the quarter finals.

Sunderland v Blackburn Rovers

Arsenal v Wigan Athletic

Chelsea v Burnley

Swansea City v Watford

Manchester United v Queens Park Rangers

Stoke City v Rotherham United

Brighton & Hove Albion or Derby v Leeds United

Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool

In the last eight I can see: Sunderland, Arsenal, Chelsea, Swansea, Man Utd, Stoke, Leeds and I would dream for Spurs.

Wigan isn't all that easy. Zaki is on fire this year.

United and Chelsea get the usual lower league ties.

The way your kids are playing though I can't see anyone outside of Man Utd, Chelsea, Spurs or Liverpool beating you...And we'd only beat you spurred on by it being Arsenal.

[9 to 5]

One of the best away draws possible I think.

This could be the closest QPR get to the top four for the next five years

They're richer than Chelsea now. I wouldn't be surprised to see them breaking the 6-10 placed teams in the Premiership within 3 or 4 years.

At least the Chelsea fixture's at home. That'll be an easy extra 5 loyalty points I can earn (at half the price of a Prem game).

Come on Burnley!! :/

Sunderland v Blackburn Rovers

Oh Cock. Why do I need to be tested on which team to surport now.

[9 to 5]

If you choose Sunderland, fuck off.

Ha. I suggest you look at our recent history of cup draws, particularly the FA Cup. It's far from "usual lower league ties".

[Summers]

United get Villa in the 3rd round of the FA Cup most years.

I was going to argue the point, but he has a point about the Carling Cup in the last few seasons, with United drawing Southend/Coventry...and failing on both occasions. ¬_¬

COME ON YOU CLARETS!

[Cabral_]

We nearly had Arsenal the other year ....

Came across as a Burnley fan then...i'm not...just feel geographically obliged to support them...seen as neither Colne/Barnoldswick/Nelson actually hire players.

[Dingle]

We've beaten Liverpool in this cup, Chelsea are this years big team to fall at the hands of the mighty Burnley.

[Crybaby Bunting]

I thought they did last season?

Or am I thinking of Barnsley >_<

[IAceI]

Yep. Barnsley played and beat Liverpool and Chelsea last year.

Burnley are just shit.

Jesus Christ, a footballing post by Ace I agree with!
