Carabao Cup 2025/26

[Vaughan]

Was there a point when this competition was lower ranked sides guaranteed a home leg against prem opposition in 2nd round, has that changed?

 

[Drico]

It just has to be Southampton away...in the next round.

When did this regional division come in?

 

[oglop44]

Any league 2 team at home, easy draws all the way to Wembley please

Years ago

 

[Bebeto]

It's early...we have a small squad right now and likley until deadline day, so we need an easy opponent so that we can have a run in the cup

 

[Marcus Kendall]

Are the European qualified clubs being given effectively 2 byes again like last season?

 

[WinifredE]

A home game against a non-premier league opponent...is that too much to ask?

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Oh yeah? Well all that's about to change....


we'll go out this round!

Somebody crap at home will do me. Might get a ticket for the game then!

Last few seasons we`ve been very crap at home.

All out to win this one were only playing around 46 games this season lets book Europe by February for a change and Wembley Way full of Blues can we just not have nice things for once

It's virtually impossible to win this competition,look at the previous winners. You're guaranteed difficult draws and then even if you somehow get through it Man City or the rs beat you and you don't even qualify for Europe.

Shows how in touch I am with the League Milk Littlewoods Rumbelows Coca-Cola Worthington's Carling Capital One Carabao Cup.

I wonder what could possibly have caused this disconnect (other than Everton's dismal failure to win a few games in it)...

Two legs in the semifinal is the worst, basically no chance of pulling an upset if you draw a moneybags team

 

[Benicetoourboys]

Hope we get a home draw & a nice August summer evening on the Mersey.
Marvellous.
Would love to win this, but its weighted for one of the sly six to win it.

But if Newcastle had thought the same last season still have no trophy since 1969
