no one? really? I'd quite like to see Millwall get to the final, let alone win it.

Shows what's wrong with modern football and how much the premier league are to blame though.

Some clubs would rather finish 4th than win a trophy.

Both Sheffield sides seem to be more focused on other things.

Because the premier league started the movement of money money money and screw everyone else. The premier league brought in the people who aren't real football supporters. The premier league brought in the people who sit on their arses at home and don't actually go to games.

I note a relatively easy passage to the next round for Tranmere.

Gillingham miss out again for another year
Time for some righteous indignation

Latics out and I'm quite pleased to be honest. We have a very small squad this season, a skeleton budget and the youngest manager ever on Engish professional football. One cup competition is enough for us IMO.

Owls crashed out to local rivals Rotherham doesnt help when a substitute gets straight red for head butt.
