[Adam]

More Championship sides falling in the shoot-outs.

Is the Derby one still ongoing!?

[MDK]

We're gonna win the cup! The Orient Express won't stop until Wembley!

[If_You_Wanna_Be_The_Man]

Has the R2 draw been done yet?

Edit: Nevermind, Wolves at home.

Rovers away to MK Dons, glamour tie!

[MDK]

Away at Everton! The money has started rolling in already. Guess we'll have to humble the blue half of Scouseland before we win the cup.

[Jimmy]

Carlisle away could be Town's undoing.

Great night last night at Sixfields, not just beat Cardiff but dominated them. bring on Wolves.

[IAceI]

Home to Morecambe, interesting. Will have to try and figure out how I can sort out getting there.

[Adam]

Hull at home, who we played last week, and who we will surely lose to. Boring...really boring.

And as we're at home it means I'll be spending money to watch it!

[IAceI]

In the same round of the competition last year Steve Bruce went to Brighton and fielded a 4-6-0 formation. And not a fluid striker less formation. Just a 'keeper, four defenders, and six midfielders, and nobody doing anything else.

I wouldn't be shocked if you beat Hull, to be honest.

[Adam]

Well in that friendly last week we beat them 3-1, they missed a penalty and their goal was an own goal by our defender.

Maybe you're right

Where is the cupset coming from then?

[Starvinho]

Some good games tonight, Wigan generally do shit in the cups so Forest could be a good bet.

Stevenage to beat Southampton too? Maybe...

I don't know the teams that Southampton or Reading will be fielding but I'd imagine they aren't going to be full strength. Stevenage and Peterborough should be fancying their chances. Maybe Yeovil, considering what a strong start to the season they've had could do something against West Brom?

[Lineker]

But who's the referee?

[Berober]

But who's the referee?

I don't know. Who is the referee? Can you tell me that?

[Lineker]

Nah, I've popped over to Westfield for dinner!

[Berober]

Nah, I've popped over to Westfield for dinner!

You suck.
