Vexorg added 14:01 - Nov 29 Sorry, can't agree that this is a good draw. I've done Chelsea in the cup and can go there whenever I want. I still value cup runs which means going to crappy places and winning games for a couple of rounds before we really get tested in the 5th/6th rounds - much like our Carling Cup campaign this year. As for January, we'll lose this tie at a canter, go to Millwall and lose, be beaten at home by Donny then have a week off to fester in the bottom three before Derby show us what Championship football is about. Gloomy? Me? Far from it. Lots of crappy places to visit next season like Rochdale and Leyton Orient and see what a year in League One did for the Scum ..

whoppit added 14:44 - Nov 29 There is more chance of Roy Keane been given a 10 year contract by Ipswich than us having even a shot on target in this game, never mind a victory. And Chelsea will be fielding a weakened team too !!!! They could play their youth side and win 2-0 against a team fielded by our clueless manager. 4-5-1 Keano???
