Carabao Cup 3rd round draw tonight

[Manuel]

Anyone interested? Millwall already out.

Ludo - Soucek?? I think we all know he'll be wrapped up in cotton wool for this game, one of the first names on the teamsheet.

[ludo21]

Win this game and we are effectively in the latter stages of the competition… it is a cup we should be trying to win. Realistically it should be Dinos’s first start for the club. Our 2nd string side is pretty strong: Fab Kehrer Dinos Ogbonna Cresswell Soucek Coventry Fornals Benrahma Lingard (assuming he signs) Mubama Bring some youth on if we get a healthy lead.

Date now confirmed as Wednesday 27th.

It was a lively night in 82, think its not a night to take your granny for a picnic.

[Mike Oxsaw]

LNER? Won't be short of strikers then.

[Norflundon]

Great draw pretty sure I haven’t been there so I’ll def try and get a ticket I’m guessing it’ll be very difficult

[wd40]

cant get a ticket ? go up on the common bridge your see about a 1/3 of the pitch at a angle ..... Before pop into the Anchor pub in the high street say hello to the main boys from Lincoln -no don't as they can hold their own very easily.

[Manuel]

Lincoln City make me think of Graham Taylor, his first managers job at aged 28. I see Sincil Bank is now known as LNER Stadium. Even they managed to get naming rights :-)

Surprised to see we have played Lincoln City as many as 23 times over the years ... mainly Div 2 games in the 50's http://www.westhamstats.info/westham.php?west=9&ham=lin&united=Lincoln_City As mentioned below we last played them in 1982 League Cup 3rd Round .... 1-1 (Goddard) away and 2-1 (Stewart ,Clark) in the Upton Park replay

[Pagey]

The excitement will come if and when we get to the semi final stage. That’s when there’s the realisation that we might have a chance of winning it. Already, following the draw, we have a great opportunity to reach the last 16 and we haven’t even kicked a ball yet. Aside from the Europa Conference League, this is the easiest trophy for us to win.

Alfs 1:07 Thu Aug 31 Re: Carabao Cup 3rd round draw tonight That draw dispels the hot balls bollocks. A lot of decent teams will be going out Manchester United in yet another home tie. The only time those slags play away in cup competitions is when it's a two legged tie.

FH - No flies on you is there, me old stalker. Did you ever get your car back?

[muskie]

I remember going to Lincoln in 1982, it was a draw if I remember rightly. Can't remember the exact score. It was a pretty lively night, pitch invasion. Happy days.

[Fortunes Hiding]

So hard to get excited….. So you started a thread about it ? ????

[Manuel]

Great draw, but it's hard to get excited about this comp.

[pedro]

Good draw. Live on sky but good chance of getting through.

[BRANDED]

Man City have won

[Alfs]

That draw dispels the hot balls bollocks. A lot of decent teams will be going out.

[gph]

Slower than WHO! Think about that, ES

[YellowBellyHammer]

My hometown of Lincoln! ....What a treat you have in store !

[Iron Duke]

Could have been a lot worse. Five all PL draws, and at least 4 EFL teams guaranteed for the fourth round.

[El Scorchio]

Lincoln away. Proper cup tie. Might get on the box as well.

[gph]

WHO beats the Evening Stardard! ES promised live coverage (via a blog). Our draw was up here before they even started
