Pool v Cobblers

Well I imagine Phil Neal will be over the moon about drawing his hometown club that Liverpool signed him from in the League Cup. Probably got quite a few family members on the phone for tickets.

The club should be pleased too as this will be a big payday for them.

So the only League Two side left in the competition are coming to Anfield. Not too many familiar faces from Phil Neals time with them from what I can see.
But they have knocked out teams from a higher league twice so far in getting this far and they will be up for this one hoping to make a name as a Giantkiller.

I have fond memories of the Cobblers being from my home county. I have watched them several times at their old ground. I even met with their then manager
Graham Carr (The father of comedian Alan) to discuss buying one of his players. But he wanted far more money than the Non League side I was Chairman of could afford.

Still this should be good old riproaring cup tie with us on a hiding to nothing and the Cobblers with nothing to lose. I really hope they go for it.
