1947: Fifteen games are getting under way. Reading, who as you’ll remember from the first round like a late tea, kick off at 2000 BST.From floridaclaret on 606:](http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A56277084)"Last season we were beating the Prems’ ‘reserve teams’. Now we have 10 changes v Hartlepool. Will be interesting to watch. How times have changed at Burnley."From alunmillard on Twitter:](http://twitter.com/#searchq=carolinecheese)"Notts County fan here. Crazy crazy crazy days!"From VillaFour on 606:](http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A56277084)"Re 1928: If Jozy Altidore proves to be as good as he looked in his first game, Phil Brown not being able to sign any of his main targets could be a blessing in disguise."1936: Roy Keane said after Saturday’s defeat by West Brom that some of his players had played their last game for Ipswich. For the record, Jon Stead and Owen Garvan are missing from the playing squad to meet Peterborough tonight. Keane up against former Manchester United team-mate Darren Ferguson at London Road.1934: Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has “done a Phil Brown” and picked an entirely new team for tonight’s tie against League One Swindon. Seventeen-year-old Nathaniel Mendez-Laing makes his first start.1930: No Tommy Smith in the Watford team to face Leeds. The Hornets have today accepted a bid - thought to be about £1.8m - from Portsmouth for the striker, and told him he can choose between a move to the south coast or round the corner to Reading.1928: Hull boss Phil Brown has picked a whole new team to face League One Southend at the KC. Teenager Jozy Altidore makes his first start, while last season’s young player of the year, midfielder Tom Cairney, is also in the line-up.1925: West Ham include midfielder Jack Collison in their team, despite the death of his father in a motorbike accident on Sunday. Both sides will wear black armbands in memory of Ian Collison tonight.1923: A bit of team news for you: Portsmouth have not included Sylvain Distin in their squad to face League Two Hereford, although they say that’s because he’s injured not because he’s after a move to Everton or Villa.
Notts County boss Ian McParland speaking to BBC 5 live: "It’s a massive signing for Notts County. He played 36 games for Portsmouth last season, played a big part in keeping them up. For him to come to Notts County, especially for our fans, it’s fantastic. Sol has come to play football. There’s not been any coaching mentioned. If that’s the line he wants to go down after a couple of years, I’ll do everything I can to help him."1917: Ah yes. West Ham v Millwall. There’s sure to be a warm welcome awaiting Millwall at Upton Park. Right Tonight is the 25th meeting between the east London rivals. The Hammers have won eight, the Lions six.From Jiggo via text on 81111: "Greetings from Dominican Republic. Me (a Millwall fan) and a few West Ham mugs, sorry fans, have left the wives by the pool, dumped the kids in the kids club and are about to fire up the hotel’s ancient PC to watch your coverage. C’mon you Lions."1912: Should you wish to correct me on the exact date football went mad, or indeed anything else, get texting on 81111, 606-ing on606,](http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A56277084s_fromedit=1&s_type=15&s_sport=football)or tweeting onTwitter.](http://twitter.com/carolinecheese)1907: Ha. I’m wrong, of course. Football went mad a very long time ago. Around the time Claudio Caniggia signed for Dundee, as I recall. Anyway, the epic they’re calling The Second Round Of The Carling Cup 2009/10 continues tonight with 16 ties, eight of them featuring top-flight teams.1900: Let us record today, Tuesday 25 August, as the day football went mad. Sol Campbell signs a five-year contract with League Two Notts County. That’s 34-year-old Sol Campbell.
