Hang on a minute.

There are 8 Premier League teams in the South group and only 5 in the North group. What kind of bulls*** is that?

 


Optimistic as ever

It doesn't even out when you add in the ones with byes either, as there are 4 Northern and 3 Southern.

The odds of us facing another PL team in our opening round are 23/7 (or 3.28/1 for ease of comparison) and they go out to 5/1 for the other group.

I want Millwall away.

Knowing my luck, we'll draw Bristol Rovers, which is my ex's team.

My opinions:

1 AFC Bournemouth - No.

2 AFC Wimbledon - Yes.

3 Brentford - Yes, always wanted to go Griffin Park.

4 Brighton - No.

5 Bristol Rovers - Definitely not.

6 Cardiff - Too far, and playing them next April/May.

7 Cheltenham - Could be fun, but far.

9 Exeter - See Cheltenham.

10 Forest Green Rovers - God no.

11 Fulham - Didn't go last time, so maybe.

12 Millwall - My top pick.

13 MK Dons - No, although not the worst.

14 Newport - Too far.

15 Norwich - God no, b****** to get to.

16 Oxford United - Could be fun, to be fair.

17 Plymouth - Could be fun, but too far.

18 Queens Park Rangers - Yes.

19 Reading - No.

20 Southampton - No.

21 Swansea - No.

22 Watford - Going there on the 26th, so no.

23 West Ham - Please to God no, I hate that stadium.

Any home game is fine with me, although I want to avoid a PL team preferably.

ALL Teams involved in European Comp don't enter till the 3rd round, as has been for years now.

Yep and presumably Ayew can't even play to get game time.

I have a dream that we can win this one even though we are The Visitors and then do well in the competition.
