Derby vs Liverpool (and LC Draw in Full)

[Frogfish]

Potentially a very tough draw. Leicester vs. Chelsea the top match.

Since when does drawing a team from the championship constitute a very tough draw? Obviously they're not mugs, but we should be winning that game comfortably.

Derby are one of the best team in the Championship and are home, on a tiny ground, in a Cup match. When is that not a tough away game ?

A very tough game is what Chelsea and Leicester have, it's not playing a championship side. Tricky potentially, but it would be a big upset if they knocked us out.

Should be a good game. Derby are a decent team with a decent manager and Pride Park is a good venue.

Scott Carson is their keeper so that shows their level.

I'm on the lookout for a pair of tickets in the away end if possible. It's only half hour on the train for me.

Doesnt Pride Park have a capacity of about 33,000?

I could have phrased that better. I meant pitch dimensions. Unless I'm getting mixed up don't they have close to minimum size ? I'm sure that was held as an advantage in Cloughie's day and their title win ?

Weren't they at the baseball ground then?

You're confusing two grounds old son. Their old ground was the Baseball Ground. It was demolished when they moved to their awful new corporate bowl, Pride Park.

Great draw for Accrington Stannley.

Accrington Stanley, who are they?
