Well, Portsmouth may be top of the First Division but I can still see Man United moving-on to Round 4 quite easily! Fergie's fielded reasonabley strong sides in the League Cup this season, so we can only expect something close-to our strongest available line-up when next-month rolls-around.

And First Division high-flyers Leicester City's battle with the my 3rd place team in Div.2 should be quite a contest!
I honestly can't say I know who will win - it could go either way!
I think we have a good chance though after recent results.

But how on Earth did Rovers make it through???
Must have been some dodgy ref in the 3rd Round replay!!

Brentford v Derby County

Wehey, I'll be going to this match. I hate Brentford though, but for £3 you can't grumble.

ARGH!!!!!

Man U, Or Pompey? Man U or Pompey???

ARGH.

GO POMPEY!

After conceeding 5 goals in each of the last two games, I am not confident of any result. Preston's problem this year has been too many draws. Should be able to stay up, but they need to shape themselves to ensure they are not drawn into the relegation area.

Well i gotta be confident.
We deserved to win on saturday and i think we can play like that again thanks to our 2 new players.
Preston, where are they?
The fact that we have to go to your ground is worrying but if we can get a draw, we might have a chance in the replay.

You have to beat Rochdale first, then the North End will give you a thumping. That is if Preston get a new manager by then.

Did you see the dissapointed look on mark's face when his team drew Bristol Rovers?
ah well, Rovers might actually get to the 4th round easier this time.
I was so looking forward to playing Bristol city as well :(

There are quite a number of all Premiership clashes, 6 I think. There are also a few tricky away games for Premiership clubs most notably Leeds.

Come on Villa! we can beat Blackburn.

These are the ties that I think might be good:

Manchester City Vs Liverpool
Manchester United Vs Portsmouth
Wolves Vs Newcastle
