FFS gonna be at work at that time and miss the live draw.  Always a big event in our house and normally make a day of it.

Any logic as to why they draw some teams today but the U21 teams are then drawn 3 days later?

Why not just do the whole draw at the same time?

Just being in this competition every year is an embarrassment.

Is it still the case, that u21 teams don’t play at home?

Couldn’t give two shiny shites about the Pizza Cup.

But see you at Wembley if we get there 😀

I am not sure I could face the humiliation of our first team having to play Crystal Palace's u21's... I feel sick even writing it.

Sadly the Papa Johns games were pretty much the only ones I enjoyed last year.

As shit as it is these were some of the most enjoyable games I saw last season purely from a footballing perspective. Complete chalk and cheese with the dross we were serving up in league games. That was until we played Hartlepool of course!

Thank god we've avoided Palace... We always seem to end up with either Brighton or Swansea though.

Or Southampton

That's right. Save the big game Charlton 1st XI v Palace's Under 14s for the final at Wembley.

Nope - Brighton and one other game will be at the Valley, then its a bog standard draw come the KO Rounds.

Any idea why we are playing on Wednesday, as we usually play Tuesday nights.

Understand that not to be correct.

True Football fans should enjoy watching the Johnson's Paint dry.

I was wondering that, as we're one of only two Pizza games being played tomorrow

Maybe it’s the headline PPV game for Sky 😉?

In all honesty I enjoyed these games last year, it was a sweet relief from the awfulness that was the season - and it was nice to be able to watch a Charlton XI perform without the constant nerve and pressure.

There is commentary on Talksport tomorrow evening.
