2017/18 EFL Cup

[Art Vandelay_]

Starts midweek this week for non PL clubs. Non-European PL clubs as well as Hull City and Middlesbrough enter in the 2nd round draw this Thursday UK time.

In my mind this cup is named after this iconic brand

Can't believe we'll be playing in the first round for once.

Feels sad.

 

[BluesMan]

Carabao are sponsoring? You beauty. Hopefully we get a free ride to the Final like the Arsenal Emirates Cup

Pretty happy both my sides snagged a win this morning! Would have lost all hope if Wednesday had gone down to Chesterfield

 

[Fryer Tuck]

Because most of us support teams in European Competition. This goes out to all the people that support awesome teams, and Hull City.




Blackburn V Burnley has to take the cake, that's THE local derby of the round.... yeah alright, Huddersfield and Rotherham are there too, but Blackburn-Burnley, Cotton Mills Derby, man! Intense stuff. They will ruin your cake:


Don't be fowl about it. It's the biggest game of the round!

V

Let the fight for silverware begin!

Nice to give a couple of guys a good hitout.

Slim is really on, Musa impressed in the 2nd half. Most of the team did a bang on job!

We even gave Josh Knight a run around, it was great!

Draw for the 3rd round being done in Beijing at 4.15 in the morning UK time.

I thought they were taking the piss when they said the draw would be in Beijing??

 

[Great8]

Newcastle and Soton out

 

[Jatz]

Newcastle really has not started the season well.

 

[RossFC]

Soton with just the EPL and FA Cup to juggle now.

 

[Fryer Tuck]

Bring it on Scousers! We want revenge for the Asia Cup!

There's something ridiculous about doing the draw when the country it's played in is all asleep...

They want to expand the brand in South East Asia apparently.

It also shows how much they care with all the little glitches that have gone on so far.

Combined with the draw time in the home nation, one wonders how much leg the League Cup has.






Oh yeah, the match is held on September 20 for us... guess what our next fixture is? That's right, Liverpool... at home.

2nd team comes over on Tuesday, 1st team comes over on Saturday. Nice.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

lol. Draw Barnsley or Derby. Round 3 is scheduled for the week 18/9-20/9 and the 2nd round match to determine who we play is scheduled for the 19/9. So when are meant to play our match??

 

[RossFC]

Bring it on Scousers! We want revenge for the Asia Cup!

Even though the game is ages away, I reckon we'll play a side like this...

Kent-Solanke-Sturridge
Woodburn-Grujic-Wijnaldum
Moreno-Lovren-Klavan-Gomez
Karius
