I haven't had a chance to look into it yet but it seems as if there's almost HALF the PL teams missing from the above draw. There's not that much John Bull in Europe this year is there ?

The Magpies will be expected to cruise into the third round but Bobby Robson has warned his players not to be complacent. "They are obviously in decent form and they will feel that they have nothing to lose against us," Robson said.Aren't we so lucky to have Bobby Robson in charge instead of Dalglish when it comes to playing lower league opposition. Can't really see leyton Orient getting shirty with Bobby and of course he will give them no reason to in his gentlemanly manner.
