2015/16 Football League Cup Thread

[Shed]

The draw for the first round of the Capital One Cup will be conducted in 2 hours or so (shocking, I know). Since the FA Cup and Europa League masterthreads proved so useful last season for posting and discussions on draws, developments, opposition results, etc., I figured one one for each of the cups this year will be handy as well.

[Kick]

Strange time for the draw to be held.

[Shed]

Indeed, but here we are


I won't be able to post them myself as soon as they come out as I'm sure to be off to sleep by then, but I will when I wake up. Or someone else will do it before then. Either or

[Kick]

If I find out I shall.

[Shed]

Let's draw Watford, I say

[Kick]

Or someone who our baby blues can beat?

[Shed]

Plymouth Argyle it is then!

[Kick]

Plymouth Argyle it is then!

[Shed]

Or Wolves again, so Fartnando can get a goal

[Kick]

Wolves are a league 1 side now.

[Shed]

Never gets old

Anyway, I'm off to bed. If anyone wants to post the draw in a few minutes go right ahead. The PL teams won't be put in until later but like I said, just to get the discussion started.

Not one decent tie among the whole lot.

[Shed]

Round Two results. Another 7 fixtures tomorrow, followed by the Round Three draw, which includes the last of the English clubs not already in it (that is, the ones in Europe) and will tell us who our first opponents in this year's competition will be.

[Shed]

So the Third Round draw will take place this evening at the conclusion of the Morcambe v Newcastle match (around 9:45pm UK time).


We are ball #5.


Will post a link to a live stream of the draw if/when I fine one.

[Shed]

Aaand we've drawn Swindon Town away.


Will post full draw shortly.

Man did you just sleep 6 hours? You must be fit!

[Shed]

What do you mean?  

[Kick]

Sheddy doesn't sleep, he waits.

[Shed]

I most certainly do sleep



How do you think I keep my dashing good looks intact?

[Kick]

What good looks? we've never seen any evidence of them
