Capital One Cup 4th Round Draw

So this is the draw for the next round of the noddy cup that nobody cares about:

Sunderland v Southampton
Leicester City v Fulham
Birmingham City v Stoke City
Manchester United v Norwich City
Burnley v West Ham United
Arsenal v Chelsea
Tottenham Hotspur v Hull City
Newcastle United v Manchester City

It's interesting to see that, out of the last sixteen, we've only got three teams who aren't in the PL, the only potential top 6 side missing is Liverpool and Swansea were the only Prem side to be knocked out by a lower league side.

So - with so many top flight teams left, does this mean that the PL sides are taking this competition more seriously, or does it just mean the quality of their second strings are getting better?

I would say it's definitely the latter. Teams are realising that a huge part of success is the quality of depth in your squad. 

Especially us, we only got fit of Tevez really, and brought in 4 quality players. Our benched first team has a lot of quality and would probably be not far off where we are now in terms of league position.

Judging by the rounds so far Wigan & now Newcastle we should get Leicester in the next rnd then Stoke in the semis & spurs in the final that means all teams we have played we have played in previous finals. 4 F.A Cups & 1 league cup. How odd would that be ??

That should read we have played teams from previous cup finals in every rnd.

How do you work that out, Oz?  It's all drawn from pots until the QF and I'm not sure even the semi isn't drawn.

Lordy !

What?

Yes, if it did happen that we played Leicester, Stoke and Spurs in future rounds in this competition then I grant you it would be a weird coincidence.  I dunno, maybe it was the way Oz worded it, it sounded like it was a pre-defined path to the final and we'd get Leicester next, as long as they beat Fulham, and I was pointing out that it doesn't work like that.

But thanks for the sarcasm, I feel renewed... 

I'm pretty sure Oz was talking hypothetically Leo & wasn't being serious. It would be truly amazing if he actually predicted the route to the final  

I love those rolling eyes 

TMG you look a lot like my ex girlfriend.

I'm worry about you sometimes tiddler...

Jordan has your ex girlfriend got a moustache and a massive cock ! 

TMG, are you Freddie Mercury? 



By the way, I was just talking about the rolling eye face.

If not, does she want one?

Jordan, Freddie Mercury is dead 

How do you know if he had a massive cock?

Why would she want your moustache, Dawg?  

Jordan, I have to ask the same question as TMG....  How on earth do you know so much about Freddie's gentleman sausage?  Not being funny, but you're a bit on the young side.

Just rumours Leo. 

I assumed it was a well known fact. We all obviously run in different circles.

But I do appreciate the young compliments 

Freddie hoped to be reincarnated as a steaming hot curry so he could once again feel the sensation of dribbling out of an arse again

Yeah.  I can't speak for everyone else, but my particular circle doesn't discuss celebrity wedding vegetables.

Ring stinger!

Leo, it all depends where I put my moustache doesn't it?

Kids these days..

I have to say, it's no wonder clubs aren't fussed about the League Cup when even the fans turn their attentions from that to Dawg's moustache and Freddie Mercury's todger.  Maybe if they turned the cup into a model of Rachel Riley's arse, we'd all be a bit more interested.  Imagine how much better the football would be if the prize was getting your hands on that?

I'm in!!!!

You do know she supports the rags???

At least pick a city supporting burd.

I'm definitely in too and I couldn't give 2 shits who she supports 

Yeah, that would be about right.  She's from Essex, so naturally she'd support the rags...   But I'm with Shaken on this, it doesn't matter who she supports.

But if you're that bothered Dawg, how about Michelle Keegan?



And I apologise profusely to Wensdi for posting a picture of a bikini-clad lass...

Even Wensdi couldn't turn that down...

Or how about 

Michelle Keegan is a plastic. She used to be a rag then switched because of her fella.

So who did City draw then?   

Hey......WTF is going on???? Who's trying to compete with my Chive thread?????

I love the way Leo apogises for posting a pic of a lass in a bikini after the total filth that preceded it regarding the late Mr Mercury and his appendage

I prefer to see it as seeing the light.  And let's face it, she's a damn sight easier on the eye than Eddie Large and Liam Gallagher!

I figure it's easy to skim over words, but a full on bikini clad lass picture is a lot harder to miss...

Leave it, Shaken.  There's no saving this thread now 

Definitely the way I worded it.The point I was trying to make was all teams from cup finals we were involved in. I also forgot Birmingham as a previous cup finalist against us.  I am no David Moyes so no conspiracy or alternative theories with me. I just thought it was an unusual coincidence so put together a hypothetical draw.

Hope I have cleared that up, don't want any heavies knocking on my door.
