Put the full draw up there please @Sidney

Tough draw for Spurs.

Rangers have never won at fortress City Ground in 133 years of trying. I expect this record to be preserved. A total anti-climax of a draw though, i wanted a big club like Newcastle. Or Leicester.

4

A huge giantkilling act as Oxford United, formerly of the first division, eliminate Swansea City, formerly of the fourth division, on a 3-2 scoreline at the Manor Ground.

5

Derby v Manchester United
Arsenal v Burnley
Exeter/Liverpool v West Ham
Colchester v Spurs/Leicester
Northampton/MK Dons v Chelsea

and several other ties…

6

Utd will win this 4/5 nil.

7

That’s a lovely strike

8

Derby have thrown the towel in 15 mins before kickoff.

9

Equaliser. They’ve grown into it have Derby.

10

Superb cross in from Christie there, he’s going alright.

11

Derby substitution: Blackman off, black man on.

12

@bandage will be overjoyed to see Mata score another garbage goal.

13

Cracking save from Randolph there. Poor game of football though.

14

Any of the Liverpool young lads impressing?

15

Not really. Teixera has some decent touches and Brannagan can deliver a good ball but its fairly uninspiring stuff.

16

Great.

17

I suppose they’re doing well considering it’s a mix and match team that Klopp has put out. West Ham have a strong team out but they’ve done very little either.

This is a pretty shit game.

Randolph having a great game. A treble save there and he’s made a few other so far.

20

Massive deflection and MK Dons are back level with Chelsea.
