Not sure how the pots were drawn but there could potentially be a real group of death!

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Well, I'm in a group featuring me, Andy Thorne, Shags and ORM.

However, according to the Cup Manager site, it says that Andy is still in the English Cup! That being so, how am I supposed to play him next week...?

Because his cup match is tomorrow night.

 

[MrB]

Of course there could be a problem if Andy gets through, in that case he'd have to default his first match.

Why? Who's a level V team? Not me. I'm still languishing in level VI.

 

[Hong Kong Blue]

Looks like I´ve missed out this year due to a lack of internet access in the jungle - will have to concentrate on the real cup instead!

Good luck to all

Not a prob to be honest, im PICing the game as my league form has suffered due to my Cup exploits

And I had visions of me qualifying for the knock out stages again this time around. Oh well.

 

[blues_r_best]

Not FC Gambero again!

 

[Grayson]

Am the whipping boys of my group, I reckon.

 

[Birri]

dont be so sure muse I thought I might win the SZ cup this season and I lost sunday in the league with 10 of my first team in.

 

[chaco27saf]

Probably the best draw I could have hoped for, still doesn't mean I won't be destroyed though!

You scared then Toddy?

Do you think I am happy about facing you again?

Don't give up hope, Tone... Andy & I are obliged to play a minimum of 8 "Stiffs" in our SZ Cup matches - those are the competition rules.

And right now, my stiffs look pretty hopeless.

 

[MrB]

I won't be challenging, about to sell off a batch of trainees and do some skill trading for the remainder of the season so TS will be down and reserves will be rubbish!
