EFL Cup - 3rd Round Draw (WBA away)

WTF is it doing in Beijing. It could have been in Basingstoke, Beswick, Blackley, Bournemouth, Bodmin - I could go on! No doubt those canutes who run the EFL have decamped to the Orient along with families to take in the Terracotta Warriors and some Chinese culture. Bet they don't have Sun Jihai among their list of must-see dignitaries! Where there's a gravy train . . . . . . . . . you won't see an ordinary fan buying his own ticket!

Watch MANUre pull out Guangdong FC Thirds!

Spot the contradiction:

"staging in this way it will give the competition both the maximum exposure in the UK, Chinese and South East Asian markets."

"There will be no live coverage anywhere of the draw - on television or online"
 
I mean, it's mental, but at the same time, who really gives a shit about the draw of the third round of the "whichever sponsor offers the most cash" Cup? If China is stupid enough to pay a large amount of money to host the fucking draw then fill your boots. Not a great precedent to set though, thin end of the wedge and all that
 
If there's no live coverage of the draw. How do we know it's done fairly?
 
The 2nd round draw on sky was complicated. A northern and southern system and three pots to draw from. One of the pots having a combination of red and white balls for who was home and away.

In the first round charlton got drawn out twice.

The second round draw was fucking hilarious. They forgot which colour ball represented home and which away after about 2 minutes. I'm sure it'll be on YouTube somewhere but John Salako's face when he realises is brilliant.
 
.....and for those of you watching in black and white, Manchester United's ball is red. The lowest ranked team's ball is green. Every other ball is black.
There's that many es rag 'Superstars' with 'buisness intrests' there it wouldn't surprise me.
 
Bei-fucking-jing?
