Krish in London: Went to watch Barcelona versus Spurs in a friendly (Wembley Cup) once for a friends birthday. We were stuck on the motorway for five hours thinking there was no point but in the end decided to go for it. Turns out we got the timing completely wrong and arrived halfway through Celtic versus Shakhtar Donetsk which was directly before!

Jock: Started Queuing at 4.30am to try get tickets for Wimbledon. Starting the queue you hope that you get centre court. But when the hours dragged on we just had enough and settled for Court Three! The Pimms and seeing Juan Martin Del Potro smash down some aces, made it worthwhile!

Oliver: My dad and I queued from midnight for Liverpool tickets for Istanbul in 2005. Yeah, it was definitely worth the wait.

Conor McNamara tweets:, external I've never had an expert summariser arrive wearing boots for a commentary... Phil Brown hoping he might get a game?

Join Conor and Phil on BBC Radio 5 live for full commentary from 19:00 GMT.

I reckon we need to keep our goals radar trained on Craven Cottage tonight, because the last 17 League Cup games there have averaged 4.5 goals per game. The big question from me is... when are the Cottagers going to give Kit Symons the job? He seems to be doing a decent job from the outside looking in.

Who's the hottest striker in this season's League Cup? Sergio Aguero? Diego Costa? Alexis Sanchez?

Nope, it's Benik Afobe of MK Dons. The on-loan Arsenal striker has five goals in the competition, including a brace against Manchester United in the second round. Jonny Evans is still having nightmares about that evening.

Can Benik do it again tonight? The Gunners will be calling him back soon enough if his scoring streak continues.

Dean in Chatham: I once queued up for five hours, just to see 10 seconds of action! However, I was overjoyed with two tickets at face value for the men's 100m final at the London 2012 Olympics.

Raheem Sterling could be rested for Liverpool's League Cup tie with the Swans tonight, but the 19-year-old forward is today celebrating another achievement - being shortlisted for the European Golden Boy award, alongside the likes of Barcelona's Munir El Haddai, Marquinhos of Paris St-Germain and, from the Premier League, Calum Chambers (Arsenal), Kurt Zouma (Chelsea), John Stones (Everton), Lazar Markovic. (Liverpool), Adnan Januzaj, Luke Shaw (Manchester United), Nabil Bentaleb and Eric Dier (Tottenham). Who gets your vote? Check out the full shortlist here., external

Lee Price:, external I stood in a queue for tickets from about 4am a few years ago when West Brom played Wolves in the FA Cup. However, it was worth every minute when we beat them!

The last time Bournemouth reached this round in the League Cup, George Best was a precocious 17-year-old who had just made his Manchester United debut. A long time ago, eh?

However, the Cherries will fancy picking up a notable scalp this evening - just days after putting eight past Birmingham, a result etched into my memory thanks to the office's resident Bournemouth supporter.

Can Eddie Howe's boys take care of the Baggies this evening? A place in the last eight would be their reward.

So, have you ever queued at a ridiculous time of day, or most probably night, to get tickets to a sporting event? And was it worth it?

Bournemouth v West Brom (19:45 GMT)

MK Dons v Sheff Utd (19:45 GMT)

In fact, tonight's crowd will be the biggest at the Greenhous Meadow since Elton John played there in June 2011.

Yep, Chelsea, who are top of the English football charts, are in town - and the excitement has been brewing for a while.

Literally! When tickets went on sale earlier this month, Shrewsbury supporters queued in the early hours to snaffle their ticket. While they braved the early-morning cold, manager Micky Mellon and his players wheeled out a tea trolley and started dishing out cups of tea. A ticket to the big cup tie and a brew? A winning combination.

Something big is about to happen at the Greenhous Meadow tonight. Something which was big enough for hundreds of fans to start queuing at 3am two weeks ago in a bid to get a ticket.

Is it a One Direction gig? Nope. What about a big film premiere? Nope.

So what's the reason for all this excitement in the historic market town of Shrewsbury?

The Special One, and his band of merry men, are in town. That's what.
