Earlier Post:

As every QPR fan knows - and it's a sign of how football-hungry we become during the Summer "Wasteland" (ignoring the fact that there's some sort of minor European competition going on right now) - the First Round of the Carling Cup is made today and being announced at 10:00 am. However one snippet: The clubs actually receive the draw at 9:45 am...So if anyone leaks this information early.... Last Year's Seeding: So Probably QPR will be playing one of these 18 teams
