Big clubs, like Man Utd or Arsenal, will play the kids. Chelsea's reserves will still probably be Internationals.

Other prem clubs like West Ham, Spurs and Charlton will be going all out for victory as they'll see this as the only silverware they have a real chance of winning.

Personally, I'd like (in order of preference)

West Ham at home
Spurs away (I've not been to White Hart Lane yet and it'll be another ground to chalk off)
Chelsea at home
Arsenal away
Man Utd anywhere


Games I don't want -

Crewe away
MK Dons anywhere
Bolton away
Sheff Utd away
 
Reading away would be good. Nice short trip for me, plus I have plenty of mates who live in the town.

Sure this would get a thumbs up from Reading Shrimper too!

Failing that, Watford would be good. They have no intention of doing anything in this competition and we could do them over. Nice and local as well....



 
Selfishly, I'd love to go to Old Trafford no matter who they put out!

Other than that, being a non-seaso then any 'big' side away would be nice

One of the top few Premier teams away to go out in style and get a niec pay day too....

Man Utd would be a dream come true,

Oo.gif
 
Any of the top prem sides away please.

It's about time we had a decent draw.

Man U, Man City (if they beat Chesterfield tonight) or Bolton for me - nice short trips for Stockport Shrimpers!
 
I would love either Arsenal or Chelsea away as it would mean less traveling for a tuesday night. Could you imagine doing Old trafford on a Tuesday night with all those road works, no thanks!!

If drawn at home any of the Top premiership clubs!!
 
man u at home would be good, as i reckon they might field Rooney, considering he's short of form and games at the mo.

Chelsea at home would be good, as there second string would stil be something worth seeing, as would Liverpool at home, as i imagine they would still have a pretty strong side with players like Stevvie G on the bench should things not be going there way (hopefully!)
 
Did I mention MK Dons away.....COME ON, WE'RE DUE A WIN AGAINST THE BOGEY TEAM.....

Original Thread
Was just thinking that

They'll probably be a few more between now and saturday

I'll type the same thing I did the previous two times, anyone but MK Dons

Ditto.

It's a wonderful stadium. That would be a cracking draw.
 
It would be nice to get a big Premiership side. When was the last time? Spurs with Gazza winning on away goals? Before that Liverpool?

By the way I'm not including West Ham as a big Premiership side - we could be playing them in the Championship next year (again).
