Just to mention that we are in the Carling Cup draw tonight which I assume will be live on sky sports (anyone confirm?) after the final first round games.

Might not be the greatest thing if we end up with a championship side who are four games into their season and much sharper and were struggling after our first two. On the other hand, a nice drubbing of Burnley would do everyone the world of good!

For the record here are the teams in the draw so far:

Blackburn Rovers

Bolton Wanderers

Brighton and Hove Albion

Burnley

Cardiff City

Carlisle United

Cheltenham Town

Colchester United

Crystal Palace

Darlington

Fulham

Grimsby Town

Huddersfield Town

Hull City

Ipswich Town

Leeds United

Leicester City

Luton Town

Manchester City

Middlesborough

Milton Keynes Dons

Newcastle United

Notts County

Preston North End

Southampton

Stoke City

Sunderland

Swansea CIty

Watford

West Bromich Albion

West Ham United

Wigan Athletic

Then four of the following:

Coventry City v Aldershot

Nottingham Forest v Morecombe

Sheffield United v Port Vale

Wycombe Wanderes v Birmingham City

They lucked out - It had to be a decision between Spurs and City as to who got the bye, as the number was odd thanks to the fair play place - I think it was decided on league position.

Fair enough then.

The likelihood is Spurs got the nod on the basis that they actually did something worthy of qualifying for Europe.

Citeh are a joke all over.

Well they are the Carling Cup champions so most deserving of a bye.

Haven't they also changed the format this year, no replays so the game has to be settled there and then?

We have a pretty good record in this competition in recent years, hope we get a decent draw.

I dont think so, well not in a way you said if it has. The league cup has always been decided on the night, until the semi final (eg Shef Wed, Man Utd).

Ah my mistake. I was sure on the radio the other night they said something has changed this year, must of been talking about something else.

A run to the quarter finals, semis or final would be nice.
