You think Derby will turn Leeds over? Or do you think Leeds will field a weak(er than usual) side?

Not sure actually but Derby have had a bit of a turnaround lately, barr the Reading result.

I'm going for a home win.

We're fielding the reserves agianst Rotheram. So could be a risk betting on stoke. Plus we've got a lousy record against lower division teams in cup competitions.
There'll be at least 7 changes to saturdays team. Plus Soares and Tongue are cup tied.

Cheers for the info

Is the man with the long throw in playing?

No mate. I went the last round against reading and I expect it to be a similar line up.
Simmo (Good keeper)
Wilko Cort Sonko Dicko (Pretty good defence)
Pugh Faye Whelan Cresswell (Poor midfield, too many out of position)
Pericard Kitson (Kitson badly needs a goal)

Subs Buxton Higgy Shawcross Fuller and a keeper

Wank is too good a word for Pericard, I wouldn't pick him in a sunday league team. Kitson out of sorts, Whelan out of favour,pugh out of position.
For the odds 1/2 it just aint worth it IMHO.

Hmm you got me thinking now too

Want to do a 3 game accy as you can get ok Odds and also thinking of the following

Liverpool win v Tott
Chelsea win v Burnley
Arsenal win v Wigan
Man UTD win v QPR
Leicester win v Yeovil
Celtic win v Kilmarnock
Tranmere win v Accrington

I should never bet on Liverpool especially with Tottenhams form but It think Liverpool edge this one. Tranmere at home is a worry but should be ok I think.

Not sure what odds i'll get but I'm due a win soon.

Just had a horrible though

extra time

Might not bother with the bet as teams always win in extra time.

Yep Whelan and Kiston ran the show. They obviously had a point to prove. Unlucky about swansea mate.

Well I've stuck some Laddies free money on Inverness Caley at home to Falkirk at no bad odds of 13/10 so here's hoping...
