Pretty decent draw for us in the League Cup even though it's away - again:
Burton v Leicester
5 Premier League teams are bound to go out and one each League 1 and 2 teams guaranteed to progress too:
Villa v Wolves
Chelsea v Man United
Crawley v Colchester
Everton v Watford
Liverpool v Arsenal
Man City v Southampton
Oxford v Sunderland
Just got to get past Burton for our annual match up against Man City - piece of cake?
League Cup draw

At this stage of the tournament you’re still playing Liverpool under 16s to be fair, but I’ll take that tie.
Definitely opportunities to progress in this tournament and I hope we take it.

That's clearly a very good draw for us. Lowest ranked team that any Prem team faces, two Big 6 vs Big 6 ties elsewhere, two teams from League 1 or below available as quarter final ties.
Obviously it'd be preferable to see realistic possibilities of Man City and Liverpool going out, but at least we're not being asked to do it ourselves. (Yet.)

i was there for the last one when Derby fan's who the Chairman of Albion had invited rained chairs down on us. My dad refused to go to away games after that

Clubs should be banned from having one set of fans above another. It's an unpleasant experience whichever way it's done.

If I remember rightly we won 6-0 but just scraped a win in the game we had to replay behind closed doors?

True and who scored the goal in the behind close doors and it was his only goal for LCFC i think?

Cant remember who scored,but think it was re- played midweek at Highfield rd.?
I was there at Baseball ground and remember all the trouble, the FA just guessed at who was responsible,and it wasnt Leicester fans at all.The Mercury showed them ( FA) up as the idiots they were ,and still are.

Paul Ramsey ,but am sure it wasnt his only goal for us.
Good player but not good Striker of ball.

Must have been hit by a flying seat and missed their consolation goal, 6-1 it finished in the first game.
Paul Ramsey scored his only FA Cup goal to win the replayed game at Highfield Road - he scored 13 in the league.
