Carabao cup 2021/22

[Sona]

The draw is on Thursday they said on Sky…

Looks like Sky were wrong!

QPR away. That’ll do for me.

Tough draw.

8 prem teams away from home and 4 all prem ties

minimum number of prem clubs that will be eliminated after the next round will therefore be 6 meaning potentially 14 prem sides including ourselves in the next round if we beat QPR

potentially would mean 14 of the remaining 16 sides left in the competition would be prem sides

….the results suggest the gulf between the PL & lower leagues is widening.

Funny how these cup competitions work out, though. Sometimes what looks a difficult route through can suddenly open up. All we can do is make sure we’re in the draw for the next round.

Last time I went to Loftus road, I was in the home end watching us win 5-1 with Big Bob Latchford getting 4!
I might have to go again if I can get a ticket.

Good draw compared to some of our contemporaries.

The benefit here is that there are 4 all-Premier League ties, which means at a bare minimum, there will be a maximum of 14 Premier League sides in the last 16, with Newcastle and Crystal Palace already out.

Some tricky ties in there too for the likes of Leeds, Southampton, Leicester and probably us. Really good opportunity to progress and make draw a lower league side again. You can fluke a cup run, so provided we keep getting the luck of the draw we've got a chance.

QPR should be on Tuesday 21st as QPR play at West Brom on the following Friday 24th.

Oxford United got 2000 tickets so hopefully get at least that.

QPR former winners of the competition back in 1967 beating WBA in front of 100,000 at Wembley. Changed days.

• Liverpool / Man City (8)
• Aston Villa / Man Utd / Chelsea (5)
• Spurs / Forest (4)
• Leicester (3)
• Arsenal / Birmingham / Norwich / Wolves (2)
• West Brom / Boro / QPR / Leeds / Stoke / Luton / Sheff Wed / Swindon / Oxford / Blackburn / Swansea (1)

All of the above have won this bloody cup. Even on the two occasions we got to the final, we were shafted after multiple replays. We should just opt out of this competition every year....you know like Direct Marketing? FA / EFL send an email every year, we should just reply: "please unsubscribe"

I work with a QPR fan who said he would be far more confident if they had been drawn away. He feels they are crap at home at the moment

 

[Cels]

QPR is a decent but tough draw. For some reason, I'm not feeling too confident about this game even though it's one I know we should win.

 

[Upper gaz]

Is that all 2000 plus, Oxford yeah, but we need a lot more hopefully we sort it

 

[ToffeeMonster]

How have we never won the League cup?

 

[Ring master]

Norwich v Liverpool and Man utd West Ham are the 2 TV Games,

a waste of a tv game that Norwich one

How have we never won the League cup?

Gave up ever winning it when Shaun Wright-Phillips out jumped lescott to score in a semi final
