Ah the magic of the cup, Half empty stadia, second string teams, apathy, indifference and a series of glorified friendlies eventually won by a team that probably didn't manage to win anything else significant...
...and then theres the Carling Cup, which gets up and running proper tonight
(I personally have a fiver on Watford, QPR and Ipswich to win which will see me get a return of £45 - sounds good to me )
Anyway, now and again theres a lower league team which does a Wycombe/Burnley and goes on a great little run, upsetting several bigger clubs along the way and raking in a fair few bob in prize money. Lets see who it is this year.
