QPR v Crystal Pal 17sep24 0 - 0 0 mins Carabao Cup - R3

I'd like Everton away, maybe one of the Manchester clubs (but don't fancy the thought of us losing 5-0!), failing that I'll be selfish and say I'd like Bolton, Preston, Stoke somebody like that within an hour on a school night 😁

Barrow away would be a near 600 mile round trip from W12!

True stoatey, it makes you wonder why clubs in the lower tiers bother until you realise how much they need that extra revenue from the cup games!

It's Palace!

So either Tuesday 17 September or Wednesday 18 September. Hopefully they will open up the Stanley Bowles Stand too this time, then it will be noisy.

This is winnable... Palace were great last year but selling the likes of Olise and Anderson, with maybe Guehi and Eze to follow, seriously weakens their team and I think they will struggle this year.

I think Chealsea will hammer them this weekend, then they have a massive game against Leicester... Lose that and they could be in a seriously bad head space when they come to play us.


All ifs and buts of course but I think this is a good draw for us

They've almost doubled the ticket price from the Luton game though which is disappointing.

I don't think the crowd will now be as high as anticipated.

Promoted on Facebook, and I noticed today that NewsNow had just recognised James & Dave's preview podcast on yesterday's match!
(That made me check on ours recorded today and NewsNow have already recognised it. I can only think they like George!)

The question is now will he play.

Palace said they wanted to attack the cups, but the league always takes priority these days and sitting with no League wins and just outside the bottom 3 I wonder if that will change their plans.

Managers are only ever a few bad results from the sack as we all know.

Eze in particular was on international duty last week so hasn't had a break.
