League Cup 2nd Round Draw - who do you want?

[Nameless]

Pompey away is always a good day out.

As for that bloke with the bell and bugle.


4. Has travelled to every Portsmouth home and away game in the last twenty-four years.
’.

He's not got into all of those games though.....

Pompey away is always a good day out.

As for that bloke with the bell and bugle.

1. Full name John Anthony Portsmouth Football Club Westwood – he added the Portsmouth F.C in 1994 by deed poll.
2. Divorced 47-year-old father-of-two, chosen to be one of the featured people in the BBC’s “One Nation” series.
3. Has sixty Pompey tattoos on his body, the club crest shaved on to his head and ‘PFC’ engraved on his teeth.
4. Has travelled to every Portsmouth home and away game in the last twenty-four years.
5. Not allowed to take his bell into the FA Cup Final due to strict Wembley guidelines.
6. Has his own appreciation group on facebook. However with less than a hundred members, perhaps he is not as popular as one would imagine.
7. Runs his father’s bookshop in Petersfield, Hampshire which specialises in selling antiquarian and second-hand books. Since his father's death in January 2006, Westwood has been a partner in the family business stating, "It's a bit Jekyll and Hyde. When I go to a local book fair, I cover up my tattoos and put on a suit. But more often than not, I end up talking to the book dealers about Pompey and it turns out they've got more tattoos than I have."
8. John’s father, employed a female assistant at his book shop – famous rugby streaker, Erica Roe.
9. His brother is the Queen’s paper conservator at Windsor Castle.
10. Some fans affectionately refer to him as ‘that c*** with the bell’.

Met 'Mr.Portsmouth' a few years ago. Nice enough chap, even bought me a drink.

Oxford, Bury, Rochdale or Wallsall.

Sorry for stupid question but how does the seeding work?

Based on last year's final league tables

Aha! And what is the thinking behind seeding this round in the first place?

[stealthpapes]

A ground I've not been to before which leaves: Shrewsbury, Carlisle, Hartlepool, Barnet, Rochdale, Rotherham or Burton

Shrewsbury or Burton might be tolerable.

Always been done for as long as I can recall m8?

They do North/South for Round 1 to minimalise travel for fans/clubs at the start of the season

Goes to show that that final day of the season win against Derby wasn't meaningless then!

Yeah I know that but wondered the logic in this additional, arbitrary seeding in round 2. Whatever I suppose I don't think it will keep me up at night.

I might be wrong, but hasn't it always been this way too?

[Ark Royal]

Pompey would be great.

Had a rather surreal experience last night watching 'Parts-mooth' v 'Deer-bee' on some remote Mexican cable channel and even given my rudimentary grasp of Spanish, the commentators displayed more far more knowledge and insight than those on Channel 5's Football League Show.

Shocking game dominated by Derby, but won by a cracking goal from Pompey.

Anyway, brought back (un)fond memories of 70s/80s/90s trips to the South coast's largest open-air toilet.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Really? Thought Pompey were the better team.

[Ian Royal]

How the hell are Brighton 'not' seeded but Reading are?

Because they finished below Reading.

As usual.

[JC]

Luton Town away

O God no. Worst away end in the country followed closely by Southend

[Huntley & Palmer]

Pompey is far worse

[arthurfondrelli]

Barnet, Luton, MK Dons, Northampton or Oxford away

[Royal Ginger]

Doncaster 27 shots against Leeds' 9, and they've had a man sent off, and are going the full distance. Reasons for optimism.

[Lower West]

Anyone got the draw live?

[Winchester Royal]

Pompey Away.

[tidus_mi2]

Gross, Portsmouth away, that sodding bell.
