Beat me to it both times @Stan :8_laughing:

Haha apologies I've only just seen your post from the North draw. 

Could have been worse. @Batard could have hijacked the draw from Merson and done it all himself too :ph34r:

But the League Cup was his idea wasn't it?

Happy with the Grimsby draw. Not necessarily an easy match but gives us some proper match practice before the league season kicks in.

Joke of a draw. Hopefully the FA fix this competition in the future, especailly the early rounds but I won't hold my breath. ¬¬

Go on, I'll bite... enlighten me as to why that was a joke?

Split into North and South so you get the same teams playing each other every year, seeds, no fans due to pandemic, having to start late and cram the matches in. They should just have started from the Last 16 with the best 16 PL teams.

There are no seeds and it is split into sections to reduce travelling for the teams involved which helps with the cramming in of matches.

Yes because that would be really fair. 

Would this not cram matches for those teams as well?
