'If It's Football, It's Vital'
Gunners Bag WBA
The draw for the Third Round of the Carling Cup was made yesterday lunchtime and a pretty uninspiring draw for us in truth. The Cup is something of a lucky dip and I always pray for a lower division side away and a chance to visit a ground I've never been to. Call me crazy, but Doncaster Rovers away was one of my favourite journeys last year! Anyaway, I've been to the Hawthorns about a million times, I've even been there for A Carling Cup tie which we won 2-0. Anyway, it's a winnable game and, injury permitting, a chance to see the likes of Walcott, Denilson, Song and maybe a return to fitness of Clichy or Senderos? Anyway, bank on an upset somewhere in this round, Chesterfield have the taste of blood on their lips after eliminating Man City and get a home tie against a Premiership side low on confidence in West Ham. While our lasagne dodging neighbours get a trip to the MK Dons. The draw in full:
Wycombe Wanderers v. Doncaster Rovers
Sheffield United v. Birmingham City
Leicester City v. Aston Villa
Watford v. Hull City
Leeds United v. Southend United
Chesterfield v. West Ham United
Notts County v. Southampton
Newcastle United v. Portsmouth
Charlton Athletic v. Bolton Wanderers
Liverpool v. Reading
WEST BROMWICH ALBION V. ARSENAL
Port Vale v. Norwich City
Everton v. Luton Town
Milton Keynes Dons v. Tottenham Hotspur
Crewe Alexandra v. Manchester United
Blackburn Rovers v. Chelsea
Match report from yesterday to follow shortly. LD.

Your Comments
Here are my predictions for the third round of the Carling Cup.
Doncaster def Wycombe
Birmingham def Sheffield
Villa def Leicester
Watford def Hull
Leeds def Southend
West Ham def CHesterfield
Southampton def Notts County
Newcastle def Portsmouth
Bolton def Charlton
Liverpool def Reading
Arsenal def West Brom
Norwich def Port Vale
Everton def Luton Town
Milton def Tottenham - I wouldn't fancy the spuds even if they were playing against dead people.
Man Utd def Crewe
Blackburn def Chelsea - These are the cups the Rovers know they have a sniff of winning so no doubt they'll put their best team out.
I've been to the Hawthorns once and it's doubtful I'll go there again.
