Bristol City v Southampton
Bolton v Gillingham
Wigan v Middlesbrough
Wolves v Burnley
QPR v Manchester City

Can see these premiership sides struggling against tricky opposition. Soton less so...

QPR away is not the easiest of draws for City but Loftus Rd holds few fears for us, good record there of late.

If the premiership sides above don't take the comp seriously then they'll be making early exits.

While Leeds don't look likely to beat anyone soon, Man Yoo won't enjoy a trip to Elland Rd so early in the tournament.

Don't worry.

To make things competitive, we'll send out our reserves team.

Um, I meant the reserves would come out at half-time.

You get the pitch to yourselves for the first half.




Yeah, yeah.....I know this will come back to bite me on the arse after Leeds win 1-0 with an own goal from Rio Ferdinand

Did we beat Leeds?

We did, 2-3 aet. Roque Junior scored.

Had to look it up, I thought we'd lost!

West Brom knocked us out in the next round, that's what I was thinking of.
