Backroom Tom Posted September 27, 2008 Backroom Share Posted September 27, 2008 Bring on the dingles. But I have a gut feeling we'll get Sunderland away. I have high hopes for this competition but in reality its hard to see past L'aresnal winning it, they look unbelieveable. Damn, sometimes it sucks to be right!

DeadlyDirk Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Gotta play some half decent times if we want to go far in it, Sunderland away, piece of ######! Bring them on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RibbleValleyRover Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I think we can beat them, rather play Sunderland than one of the top four. Looks like Spurs could go out, unless Rafa really does some major rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti-Dingle-Brigade Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Not the hardest game in the world, but it'll be tough. I think we can assume Burnley won't be progressing. Rather funny how The Big Four have "luckily" been drawn apart again. The balls for the next round are in the microwave now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Good draw. Key was to avoid the big 4. Hopefully Arsenal or Liverpool may struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti-Dingle-Brigade Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 The DIngles will get the set 6k seats at Stamford, they seem to think that they will be selling out. Just over 7k on against Fulham, not sure they can muster enough Wacky Races buses to get their 100,000 fans down to Stamford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I think we can assume Burnley won't be progressing. That was my first thought too, but then I remembered when they drew Liverpool in the FACup a few seasons back. At the time I laughed because I thought they would be taught a lesson in proper football - but then Liverpool were rubbish on the day and the Dingles won. I'd like to think that Chelsea won't be caught out the same way and would give us the amusement of annihilating them. As for Sunderland - could have been worse. *sad statto mode on* In the six seasons since we won it, we have been knocked out of this competition by one of the big four on five occasions. That suggests we should survive. *sad statto mode off* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoverRich Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Bring on the dingles. But I have a gut feeling we'll get Sunderland away. I have high hopes for this competition but in reality its hard to see past L'aresnal winning it, they look unbelieveable. Fair play, what a shout! Don't reckon its too bad a draw as we have avoided top 4 and tottenham plus we have avoided the lower leagues teams so won't be embarrassing if we go out at this stage. We should still win!

Bobby G Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 We avoided the big four, and with that in mind we cant complain at whoever else we got... Good chance that Arsenal might go out, but Chelsea look set to go through and United and Liverpool might struggle a bit. Not the worst draw for us. There is hope yet.

At Stamford Bridge, where they haven't been beaten for...how long? I'm not saying it can't happen. But it would be a bloody surprise if it did.

T4E Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Thats a decent draw, we can beat them. Bit of protection for the "big 4", what a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipl Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Spurs v Liverpool is sweet whilst the Arsenal kids are going to get a physical test if nothing else from the Wigan giants. Sunderland away- if both teams are on top form, you have to fancy Rovers to shade it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth I think we'll get beat 3-1 today, lets hope the last one was a fluke eh? Sunderland is winnable, seem to remember losing on pens there once, did Ciccio not slip when takin his? shame the big 4 have avoided each other really was hoping some of them may go out this round but looking at the draw it seems unlikely.

AussieinUk Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Fairly happy with this draw.. It's a pitty this is not at home. I was sure that we were going to draw a big four team. Amused, that the yiddos have 'pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
