In the Hat,
Man C (BOO!!!!) , Crystal Palace (YAY!) , Middlesbrough( YAY!!!!!!)
Liverpool (BOO!!!), Chelsea (YAY!), Southampton (YAY!!)
Draw for next round:
Crystal Palace - Everton
Boro - Chelsea
Forest or Huddersfield - Liverpool
Southampton - Man City.
Interesting. The four perceived bigger clubs all drawn away. Liverpool
and Chelsea might be the happiest of those, as they should be able to do
some squad rotation.
Of those teams only Crystal Palace have not actually won anything
signficant. Best league performance was 3rd. and they were losing
finalists in the FA cup twice. (Came really close, as both times went to
ET and one to a replay)
NOtts forest have won the league, the EC1 twice, the league cup 4 times
and the FA cup twice (a long time ago though).
Huddersfield have won the league 3 times in a row in the twenties, and
the FA cup once (early twenties)
Southampton's best league finish was second, but they did win the FA cup
(as a second tier team I think) in the 70s.
Boro have won the league cup and were finalists two more times. Also FA
cup finalist in 1997, losing to Chelsea, their current opponents.
The rest are well known , having all won the league and FA Cup several
times each, as well as at least one European trophy each.
