LDN Blue 7,903 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 If Mourinho is serious about using youth, this is is the perfect competition to showcase them in! That doesn't mean switch to the first XI when it gets to QF!! Let them have a chance to go all the way! killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Lalkovic to score the winner He was quite the player on his day in the youth setup. I still distinctly remember a late winner he scored against Arsenal the year we won the FA youth cup. I celebrated that goal like crazy.

Duppy Conqueror 1,543 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I love away days I must confess.unless it`s against a big side who happen to be extra hard to beat at home. I`m always happy with an away tie..i`m 12 grounds away from joining the 92 club. but unfortunately Walsall isn`t one of the 12.i was closer to the 92 before teams like Grimsby,Wrexham,Darlington,Halifax etc got relegated out of the football league.I love the charm of a shitty lower league stadium. the despair in the eyes of the less fortunate natives,the lunatic fringe of colourful local characters .the familiar aroma of old decaying wood,kidney pies and stale piss. the magic of the cup.the bescott stadium isn`t as old as some..it looks like a MFI,IKEA or B & Q store from the outside...inside it looks like it was assembled with the products from such stores.typical 90`s lower division produced football ground,with the pillar obstructions being the most noteworthy feature..they really stick in your mind like "wtf were they thinking" when they constructed it. you still get the same kind of characters that lower league clubs attract tho.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/08/cup-date-announced.htmlThe Walsall tie will be played on September 23, Wednesday - in between the Arsenal and Newcastle league matches.The squad will be heavily rotated, but it will be strong enough to be competitive in all three of those games. If we line up against Walsall with something akin to the following, we'll be more than fine:Begovic Azpi - Cahill - Zouma - BabaMikel - RLCTraore - Oscar - Moses*Falcao/Loic * if he's still alive, that is.

Pizy 18,952 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Good thing I don't give a toss about this competition. Hope we play a totally weakened side. We don't need to be risking our important players in a midweek game all the way up in Stoke when we're trying to play major catch-up in the league.
