Totally bent, remember the year, rags had bad year in league, surprise surprise, no top teams in FA Cup and Millwall in final, I rest my case.
Sorry mate that is a load of cobblers.
They faced Villa away who finished 6th in the third round.
Us who finished 16th in the Prem in the fifth round
Fulham who finished 9th in the Prem in the quarter finals.
Arsenal the Champions in the Semi-final.

Fair enough mate. It does show how differently people view the draws.
Not knocking your view by the way.
The cup competitions are under pressure to stay relevant. It is not such a leap to believe they will allow an element of 'help' to keep the biggest teams in it as long as possible. It raises the exposure of the product.
There is a trend developing....

The probability of the top 4 teams avoiding each other was 1 in 8 - so not as unlikely as most people seem to think -
(There is no chance that all of these draws are being fixed but if they are being fixed then for some reason they’ve decided to start fixing in our favour as opposed to against)

If we come through Wigan and Southampton our league situation should really benefit us. The other 3, if they make it, should be caught up in top 4 fight and may need to rotate.
Early leavers will not likeProbably already mentioned - but - No replays in the Q/Finals. - extra time then penalties.
out if it goes to pens

Should we beat Wigan lets hope we can play Southampton on the Sunday/Monday and bring the Brighton Game forward to Thu/Fri or the end of season is going to be chaotic.

The reasons they rig the fixtures has nothing to do with city or Utd or Chelsea or spurs. It's got everything to do with money. The colour of the kits is of no consequence, just the colour of the money.The probability of the top 4 teams avoiding each other was 1 in 8 - so not as unlikely as most people seem to think -

We are now box office, so they will USE city for their own ends, not for ours.
Anyway, this charade has probably happened for ever, in reality....

Although, if that’s Spurs, it will be away!!Happy with that. Our biggest risk was away at Rags, Spurs or Chelsea. Fancy us to beat anyone at Wembley.
