DRAW FOR THE NEXT ROUND

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

I'd like to see the Manc sides draw each other (assuming they both get through like) and after that I'm not arsed who we draw, as long as it's at Goodison.

Feck the Kopites, we shouldn't be worried about them, they're mince. I'd be more worried about drawing Weds away.

I'd prefer an easy one but away tbh as can do without any extra expense at the moment.

Anyone but Liverpool is the default answer, but if we have to face them, let it be now. Far enough from the final for it to be immaterial, still time for them to be knocked out in later rounds.

Out of interest, have we ever played Liverpool in a two-legged cup-tie? We've hardly the best record against them in cup competitions, but I would imagine a 2-legged match would have a different dynamic.

Screen Sport Super Cup Final.

Didn't it have so little interest that it wasnt even in the same season ?

They gubbed us btw

Howard Kendall recalls that, prior to his Everton side's group match at Norwich City, he sent his team out with the following team-talk: "What a waste of time this is – out you go."

If you could tell me right now that we end up winning the thing, then I reckon a Merseyside derby and Manchester derby for the semis would improve the image of this cup no end.

Away team will do, we are garbage at home

The rs, them to batter us and we win on a dubious penalty decision, or a blatantly offside goal.

Not 2-legged but we've beaten them twice in replay games in recent history.

Southampton (a) just got a feeling.

Is the quarter and/or semi both 1 knockout game or 2 legged matches?

Quarter final (01. or 02.12.2015) is a knock out game, semi-final is over 2 legs (1st leg 05. or 06.01.2016; 2nd leg 26. or 27.01.2016).

Anybody home or away. The goblet of fire is ours!

Sorry to hear that, have you tried sawdust?

Reckon Southampton away. Liverpool will get Hull at home, United Wednesday at home, City Stoke at home. These guys know who brings in the tv money in the semis.
