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 |

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. Edited by Dan1994 (16 Aug 2018 5.01pm)

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |
