    First round of the Carabou, how exciting. With our record in this cup there can only be one winner and it will not be us. Depends on the team but our defence looks all at sea in a 4. 1-0 to Cheltenham.

    NEWSFLASH and nothing to do with what we’re talking about (hardly worth a topic of its own).  Chelsea women have just beaten Auckland FC 7-0. I only watched the last few minutes but according to the commentator the visitors had their foot on the throat of Auckland the whole game.  Chelsea move to Australia where they will play an invitation A League side.

    I have kept my "Powder Dry" until now but I believe Daniel Kanu will gets at least 30 minutes and will hit the ground running today and score.

    Maybe because it’s a late kick off?

    It's not even the main event! What is the point in inconveniencing our supports for a match which is difficult to watch in full definition!

    Most of the other champ teams in this tournament seem to be playing their best team as a final warm up ….. take Millwall at QPR.

    Need to build some momentum now and get 90 mins for our starting line up

    Looking like Millwall have started where they left off last season. Hard to beat and nick a goal

    Would love to see Kanu get a chance here, good time to against a team he will be familiar playing against.

    Lloyd Jones with the kind of ultra white trainers on that you'd see on a Wimbledon tennis player.

    Nathaniel Chalobah is here. So is Collins Sichenje. #cafc

    No Thomas Kaminski by the looks of things. Unless he hasn't come out yet but looks like nearly all of squad have had a brief stroll out on the pitch. #cafc

    Rob Apter is here.
