Fourth Round (of 16): December 20-21, 2022​

This includes the 16 winners from the Third Round. ( A few days after the World Cup Final !)

Only just noticed this. Good chance a few of the top 6 get knocked out in the 4th round with a lot of their players not returning until after Christmas.

Chance for a "smaller" PL team to bag a trophy.

Earmarked this competition this year. We really need to start winning trophies would be chuffed to bits.

[JSpurs1]

Am off to Cardiff Portsmouth. Shall report back on Mr Scarlett.

 

[JSpurs1]

Literally nothing to report despite the result. He chased and harried but Portsmouth didn’t really have much of the ball so he was feeding of scraps.

Some PL teams in this tonight -

 

[cwy21]

Going to be one of the few times this season we have the midweek off while our opponent doesn't.

Villa 1 nil down at Bolton. Villa are awful under Gerrard. I might have some money on him being first PL manager sacked but what holds me back is he’s best mates with Purslow. Will probably afford him more time than would be expected.
