CARABAO CUP DRAW – The latest from the quarter-final draw
Hilarious video alert
15:00: Speaking of hilarious videos, a real classic from last night…
West Ham fans were understandably a bit happy after seeing their side beat Tottenham from 2-0 down.
So when Mark Noble throws his shirt into the away end at Wembley, you can guess what happened.
Yep – a mad scramble. And it ends in disaster as a grown man trips over and smashes his head into the barrier!

Bring back Rod Stewart
14:50: The more I think about Phil Tufnell and Matt Dawson doing the draw, the more angry I’m getting.
If they wanted someone will a bit of charisma, who else but… ROD STEWART.
Remember the day he got involved in the Scottish draw? No, well it’s above – and it’s amazing.
Draw blimey
14:45: 75 minutes to go, I can barely contain my excitement. By the way, the EFL have teamed up with Twitter to broadcast the latest draw of the competition.
The draw is even taking place at Twitter’s UK hub in central London where there are currently 200 employees.
EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey said: “The EFL prides itself on being innovative and not being afraid to try something new if we believe it has the potential to increase exposure and awareness of our competitions at home and abroad.
“We are therefore excited to team up with Twitter to give fans of EFL clubs across the world access to the Round Five draw via their new live streaming service. “
Magic of the cup, eh?
Why are Matt Dawson and Phil Tufnell there?
14:30: So the draw is 90 minutes away – it starts at 4pm UK time.
And who is pulling out the balls? Yep, Matt Dawson and Phil Tufnell of Question of Sport fame, of course.
No, we’re confused too… Alas, it’s all part of a plan to get the tournament to new people.
Shame no-one told the Tottenham fans. Wembley looked 90 per cent empty during their win – they surely won, didn’t they? – over West Ham last night.
Oh wait, they lost. Poor Spurs. Even Google are taking the mick.
