Oh well ! That's me out of the cup

[* ORM *]

Drawn against someone finishing 4th in Div 5 last year and his star count is frightening. I expect a spanking with the only saving grace being that the game is at home and sure to give me a nice tidy profit for the week (currently 240K in the red).

Away game at a half-decent (90hatstats) VI team.

Shame as it's at their ground so won't get too much money

[Matt the Shrimp]

Ditto - away at half-decent Level VI side.

Away game to a team who finished 4th in VI last year. Should be through to round 2.

[blues_r_best]

At home to a reset team.

[GNH]

Away to an average VI team so should be through to round 2

[Kent Shrimper]

Away to average Div VI side, should also be through to Round 2

[Bob Cratchitt]

I am away to an Easy VI side - Looks like I will progress.

Where can I see the cup draw?

Should it be in my match list?

[Bob Cratchitt]

Yes, it will be the only game to play, cup games happen on a Tuesday so no friendlies this week.

[Bucks_blue]

And if I don't have one?

[MrB]

Where did you finish in your league? Not everybody gets into the cup.

[Bucks_blue]

I've just read the rules on the cup andit appears I am officially sh*te and therefore don't deserver to be in it! Harsh but fair.

I didn't score a goal or win a game in my last 6 games which dropped me from 4th to 6th. In my defence I did lose my 2 best players to injury.

Ah well I'll try and get a friendly againsty another low finisher...

[Museshrimper]

I'm playing a VI side, who must've joined shortly before me coz he's only 15 leagues ahead. Away from home, but i feel i have a chance, he has a mixture of decent players but also has a lot of sh*te, so hopefully i can win....just need to get my poxy midfield out of disastrous every f**king game:angry:

Maybe, but I'd rather be at home and get higher gate receipts. There arent many teams weaker than me so ive been lucky in the draw i think.

Anyone got suggestions for why my midfield is so ****-poor? The players are alright, my qualifier opponent said stamina is the reason, is that right?

It appears that I'm officially sh*te too. Didn't even realise there was a cup and, perhaps justifiably, I'm not in it.

I've won a friendly and drawn a game. Guess I need a bit more.

Take a look at who these teams have in the cup, 54746 and 59554. I wonder if they'll get through?
