For the love of god, can we please do something right and defend this cup?

I hope we have an easy run in the first couple of rounds to help us advance.

Here's to hoping we draw West Brom away at the Hawthorns.
You know what happens every time that fixture takes place.....

I actually woke up this morning expecting him to be sacked. I was disappointed.

That's what I'm going to bed later assuming [and hoping] as well.
Don't forget, it's still only the middle of the night in England...so there's still hope

Do the right thing Abra!

GOAT

Southampton away it is then.

Let's have everyone from the club watch Shaw in action as our future starting LB

At least we can win this one, right right?

Should be interesting unless Rafa decides to play for a draw again

park the bus, 0-0 is everything! and pray for an own goal for them! amen!

We better win this one imo.

4th Round Draw tomorrow. Chelsea are number 20. Will post the full draw on here after it's made.

Swanswea 2-2 Arsenal

Good news for us. Both teams now play replay on Dec 15/16, which for Swansea is right smack in between our 2 COC legs against them, and only a few days before we take on Arsenal at home in the League.

Fixture congestion

Southend or Brentford away for Chelsea in the 4th Round

Piazon to play PLEASE

Oh and I bet Torres can't score vs either of them teams
