Next up

The draw for the quarter-final stage of the Carling Cup will take place this Saturday, and it is an all-Premier League affair and after progressing last night we will face one of the following sides:

Arsenal
Aston Villa
Blackburn
Chelsea
Manchester United
Portsmouth
Tottenham

For all the bad press the competition has received in recent seasons, it is perhaps telling that so many of the 'bigger' sides remain at this stage - even with less than full-strength sides being fielded.

As to who we get? We can beat any of the sides left in, but equally we could go out to any of them. I'm not sure there is a really 'easy' tie you would be hoping for.

Let's get a home draw and take it from there.
