The Carabao Cup Thread

at least we'll get a decent allocation right ?

Genuine question....but how come Walsall are in the Southern side of the draw yet Villa are in the Northern side? Isn't Walsall technically further north than Aston?

Good question Tomy, I thought the same!

Last home cup match in front of a crowd was December 2019.

Shambles.

Im guessing there has to be the same number of PL teams in each half of the draw?

Hopefully.

It's an aberration that happens at points to try and separate sides under the guise of bigger clubs meeting smaller clubs. Can't remember the year, but it wasn't that long ago we were drawn in the Southern from memory - they like to avoid perceived derbies early on if they can is the short answer.

"SUPER SIX" WILL QUITE RIGHTLY JOIN AT THE LAST 8 STAGE.

Aston Villa's 2022/23 Premier League campaign started with a bang, but not the kind of bang fans would've wanted as we travelled to Dean Court to face Bournemouth and basically got schooled tactically and fell to a 2-0 defeat as head coach Steven Gerrard failed to improve on his form last season, despite now having more of 'his own' players in the side.

Just asked the wife if she fancies a night out in Bolton next week. She said yes no wonder i married her. The lower Tier are nearly all gone and they are selling some of the upper now.

You wish is granted.
