You’d have been hard pressed to find a worse tie for us.
Home, quite attractive.Quote:

Decent enough draw. We may get a crowd near 10k, and the result will not be critical.
We are playing Swansea away on Sun 25th and Middlesbrough at home at 12:30pm on Saturday 31st.
So game will have to be on the Wednesday.
Decent draw , home , let the speedy youngsters have a good go at them . Impressed on Tuesday against Rovers.
Swansea. They would do a doube on us in the space of 4 days and then the first ever trebe later in the season.Quote:

1995. They beat us 3-0. Matt Le Tissier scored twice.Quote:

Wasn’t it two legs and we took the lead at The Dell, Ian Rogerson? Got beat eventually though.
Might be the last time they won here.Quote:

Yes. It's their only league win in Cardiff since 1965. They drew their next league outing in 1974 and, since then, have lost 9 out of 10 league meetings in Cardiff. It's quite an extraordinary run of form.Quote:

Definitely Malky's last game. 2 days later we drew 2-2 at home to Sunderland with David Kerslake in charge, throwing a 2-0 lead away and the equaliser was in injury time if I remember correctly.Quote:

Has anybody ever seen this Carabao stuff being sold anywhere? I hear it doesn't actually exist and is just a money laundering operation by foreign criminals.
They're a Thai energy drinks company.
Feck knows why they're sponsoring over here.
Asian Premier League 'fan' base is huge.Quote:

Cheaper option than sponsoring the FA Cup?
Longest running sponsor of the 'League' cup since 2017 ... just signed up for another 3 years.
I have seen it for sale in the UK, I don't remember where though, possibly in London.
I didn't buy it as all those energy drinks are revolting.
They did. It was my first game at the CCS and the only Premier League game I've ever been to. 0-3 after about 25 minutes.Quote:
