December 23, 200618 yr Author I can see it being Spuds actually - just a gut feeling. I think Arse's reserves might knock out Liverpool and then lose to SPuds in the semis.
December 23, 200618 yr shocked for chelsea to be handed the easiest draw of the lot for a change...obviously we will respect wycombe, but it will be the biggest shock ever if we don't get to cardiff...another final will be great, hope we don't get liverpool though...you just know they will win!
December 23, 200618 yr We should reach the final now. I'm looking forward to the other game between Arsenal/Liverpool and Tottenham. Might be a good one. Then we can face the winner and claim a trophy
December 23, 200618 yr We have to get their first, Scott. So right Gem, Wycomb at 5th in League 2 could well do us in.
December 23, 200618 yr I can see it being Spuds actually - just a gut feeling. I think Arse's reserves might knock out Liverpool and then lose to SPuds in the semis. Loz, are you on the Highland Park again? Spurs are sh*t ! That gut feeling might be last nights Tikka Kebab.
December 23, 200618 yr Author Loz, are you on the Highland Park again? Spurs are sh*t ! That gut feeling might be last nights Tikka Kebab. Last night it was the bottle of export strength gin my mother-in-law gace me for my birthday (hows that for a mother-in-law!!) - I agree SPurs, on form, won't be there, I just have a gut feeling.
December 25, 200618 yr Is Chelsea - Arsenal the most comfortable final for us? (better than pool) And chance to avenge for 3 posts and a bar.... P.S. Wycombe is nice and easy for us in so difficult times...
December 25, 200618 yr Got to be Spurs in the final, can you imagine what the M4 will be like all the way down, kicking off in every services. Quite on the way home as they will be on the road 45 mins before us
January 3, 200718 yr Arsenal will find it difficult to win at Anfield I think. But having said that an Arsenal v. Spurs semi would be entertaining and a Chelsea v. Spurs final would be tasty.
January 3, 200718 yr Our Anthony Grant is currently on loan at Wycombe. I looked up their last six games or so and see that he has played every game (in one of those he came on as a sub after 60 minutes). Can he play against us? I'm pretty sure that he couldn't if it was a premier league game, but I'm not sure if it would be the same in the league cup. I hope he can play, but if not then I guess they'll be weakned by his absence.
January 3, 200718 yr Will be interesting to see what kind of team we put out - i suppose it will have to be Ferreira and Essien in central defence.
January 3, 200718 yr carvalho will play. if i remember right the suspension for 5 yellows is not immediate. he will miss the wigan game. (just like ballack who could play against fulham after getting his 5th yellow against reading and sit out yesterday.)
January 3, 200718 yr carvalho will play.if i remember right the suspension for 5 yellows is not immediate. he will miss the wigan game. (just like ballack who could play against fulham after getting his 5th yellow against reading and sit out yesterday.) Drogba and Carvalho picked up their fifth booking last night. The official site says both are suspended for the Wycombe semi-final first leg.
January 3, 200718 yr the fact that wycombe have made it this far means that we should, in no way, underestimate them!

January 4, 200718 yr the fact that wycombe have made it this far means that we should, in no way, underestimate them! Do you think it will be a tight game? With our defence in the shape it is, i am expecting ATTACK, ATTACK for 90 mins and with our run of luck it will be 0-1 to Chelsea
January 4, 200718 yr I guess we go all out attack the first 15-20 minutes and fail to score a goal. Then suddenly Wycombe scores and we have to struggle to get even. If we're lucky we might score an equalizer and Drogba comes on and gives us the lead which we then fight real hard to protect which means we f*ck up in the defence and Wycombe get's a well earned goal making it 2-2. We go all out attack again...or rather tries to but some players seems to have gone for some tea and can't be seen on the pitch. JM looks grumpy and the defence looks like a hen house. If the football God is kind to us then Drogba manage to score the winner and we can breathe easy again pretending we actually had a good game.
January 7, 200718 yr We have Super Frank. Then again, if he doesn't score.. :? Carvalho will pop up to add to his goal tally
January 7, 200718 yr Im hoping that all the players that are getting slatted by the fans will come good on the night and i can sing " who put the ball in the Wycombe net ? Arthur " etc
