EFLCR3: West Ham Utd 3-0 Bolton Wanderers (19/09/17)

[The Gibbins]

Great draw!

Was pretty convinced we would get Man City again..

[sutts07]

Home game against Bolton to get into the last 16... happy days!

Down side is, you would expect all of the top 7/8 to also be in the last 16 looking at that draw.

Yes. Interesting draw! Conducted in China? Hmmm.

[Lakeside Hammer]

Was the draw at Stupid O'cklock a one off, or will be it be a continued theme throught the competition?

Holding the draw at that time to get maximum exposure?
It's mid morning there.
If they drew it in the evening at least it would be during the daytime here (where the games are being played after all)

[mushy]

avoid all big teams until the final will do me.

Get the big teams early on when they are not all that interested is probably a better plan.
Shame its not happening this year.

Who knows what kind of team Bilic will field against Bolton? A defensive squad with 4 midfielders, a winger and a striker against a L2 side yesterday was ridiculous. Quina on with 2 minutes to go, ridiculous.

I think Holland should get a run out while Arnautodick is banned and Quina + Haksababozavxyizxpic and even Samuelson must surely be given a chance in the cup. I think Bilic's team selection at the moment is clouded by his own contract situation to the detriment of youth development. Sakho is in the departure lounge so no advantage to playing the egotistical headcase and it was a good opportunity to give Martinez some minutes? If we can't test the new talent against L2 opposition in the first team, when can we?!?

He played 442 to match them, because they were always going to play it. No need to overcomplicate things against a league 2 side.

[sanchoz]

Will be a test for the ticket selling skills of Karren .

Plenty of tickets for Newham Council and their "junior staff members" as well as community groups.

??? Did I miss something ?

Some of the corporate season ticket holders get 2 cup games included. Busy night for the Met with us, Spurs, Arsenal, Palace and Chelsea all drawn at home.

[Kialos]

Perhaps the club could offer to play this tie away from home as well....

Chance to visit the Reebok with its car parking next to the ground and its easy acces to the motorway.

Though never a happy hunting ground for us there.

[tonbridge iron]

Every single London club that are still in are drawn at home.
Met plod will be having kittens.

[PF.]

is Elbow still there?

If he is, Upson won't be leaving his bedroom.

[OFT]

can't remember winning against them. ever.

It's a rare event for sure.

We beat them in the 'Tevez' season, was it Sammy Lees 1st game in charge after Big Sam left them?

[Blow Bubbles]

Personally I still think it will be a good evening out... Regardless, I've got automatic cup renewal turned on anyways... :lol:
