Oh well we historically don't do well in this competition...

He's started every Capitol One Cup and FA Cup match we've played since joining, hasn't he? No real surprise there.

Imagine if we win it this year and he plays in the final, not Howard.

Umm... in Hungarian we have a saying: to swap sh!t for crap... I think it fits the bill (is it just me who finds it funny that Bill Kenwright's name means a receipt?) for the Howard/Robles plight we have.

All I'll say is my expectations have been reduced for us in this competition now Joe.

Do you know what Doug I feel the League cup should be division one including the Conference division with no prem teams involved, and put the FA Cup status back as a champions leagued place as both cups are treated with contempt by most top Prem sides in Europe!
When it evolved it was only for the lower divisions - it would also help the conference division which should be officially division 4 anyway!
The FA Cup then would stop top teams playing reserves etc if the prize was worth while!

I think you're right about the FA cup Joe it definitely needs a new injection of something. Not sure about the league cup though, haven't the lower leagues already got a few cup competitions exclusive to them? Maybe get rid of it when we've eventually won the thing!
