This whole competition has been a joke from the start. Stupid sponsor that nobody's heard of, making the draws at stupid times, and then when they're at normal times they've still managed to feck it up by announcing the wrong games or drawing them in the wrong order. The FA have done everything in their power to devalue the League Cup and turn it into a cash cow with almost zero credibility, and they'll still sit there and wonder why the attendances for this "competition" are a complete joke until the final.

What exactly are Twitter working on?? Can't they just do the draw and tweet the results??

For once, you can’t blame the FA. This is the Football League.

The FA are a shitshow but they've got nothing to do with the league cup.

It would be really funny if we actually draw a team that's been knocked out! Imagine the embarrassment. They couldn't organize a Fire in a match factory!

Wait what does Twitter have to do with the draw? Can't they just do the draw on camera on Tweet about it later.

I'm not complaining - just got home now so at least I can see the draw as it unfolds, even if it's just the Carabao cup.

Even Tom from Myspace isn't Carabao's friend.

Bristol City have beaten as many Premier League sides in all competitions this season as Liverpool.

How amateurish did that draw look? :lol: Looked like it was recorded in someone's living room. And the presenter didn't know how to use a microphone. And pronounced H "heich." Anyway, a good draw for us.

Dream draw for me that! Got family in Bristol so would be an ideal away trip to Trashton Gate if I can get a ticket in the ballot. Everything crossed...

Brilliant draw, that. Should be a fantastic game. Would have been perfect if one of the other ties had two of the big boys facing each other but oh well.
