carling cup draw

[Latch]

Cup draws coming quick now!

3rd round draw takes place this Saturday, nice to be involved at this stage of the competition, three prem teams went out in the second round, Wigan, Derby, and Sunderland, winning it is another route into europe so this cup should be taken seriously.

Hope both this one and the UEFA Cup draw are favourable

i think the carling cup is our lowest priority...the uefa cup 1st, then the fa cup...

would be great to actualy win something though!, although this competition has never been our favourite...

This competition is a cahnce for our kids to do a bit, resserve keepers to get full games and the chnce for a day out at the new Wembley, I have a funny feeling about the cups this year, a feeling I haven't had since 95

I agree, do what arsenal do, and play as little of there first team as possible in the carling cup, so play anichebe and vaughan, ruddy in goal, then play players who dont get into the first team much like valente, hibbert, and maybe osman if riquelme comes through

Keep it up Monty we need a little divine intervention. Silverware is good. Carling Cup I would love to see the likes of kieran Agaird and Lukas whatchamacallhim have a game or two. Just to see whats lurking behind the first team.

Funny as I'm thinking about Darth Vader while I'm reading this and then scroll down to see Skywalker's name.

Plain weird.

I think our squad is the strongest in 15 years and because of this the kids, reserves and fringe players are that much better. I think we have a real opportunity this year to prioritise what we go for but still have a chance with things like the carling cup with our reserve players.

Mick, that is why we've all got tingles, Riquelme will be the icing on the cake mate

To be honest, the senior squad never take this cup seriously and always put in a shity performance so we may as well use the reserves/youth.

 

[GhostOfDixie]

I think the Carling Cup should not be a way into Europe. It should however be open to all teams in the 4 divisions, but those in the Premiership have to play at least 5 players under the age of 20, maybe more than 5.

Benefits:

- Everyone has a chance to win
- The Premiership senior players are given a rest
- The Premiership youth players are given vital experience

Hmm, yeah I see what your saying, but by doing that it would probably water down the carling cup (just like carling water down their lager!) even more, and do we really need that?
