Did you flip 11 in a row?

Nope, I didn't even try. But the next draw will still be a 50/50 chance of being home or away, nothing more. It isn't linked to previous results. It's independent. However I'm not an FA stooge you are onto either, well I don't think I am (especially as the EFL cup has fuck all to do with the FA, it's ran by the Football League but hey ho) and please tell me what could possibly be gained by risking exposure and rigging the 3RD ROUND of the league cup? Money? What?

Yes but add 0.5 x 0.5 etc etc and it's a one in 2,000 chance. That's how probability works.

swearing at me is no way to open a conversation with me.

perhaps you are mixing me up with someone else who has previously offended you in some manner.

I wasn't swearing at you, it was just to emphasise a point, apologies if I offended you, wasn't intended

The powers that be have set the tone for this one by having the draw in China. The correct response is to play the kids.

You mean the country which one of its largest companies which bought a 13 percent holding in CFG and the country which president visited our club when conducting a state visit to Britain. Yes I can see why they might fix the draw against us.

Agreed that's how probability works but it happens. But the question you keep avoiding, what is to be gained by the football league and a Chinese drinks company rigging the third round of the carabao cup to give City an away draw against West Brom vs. a home one? Seriously? What?

Totally agree. Black Country beer is the best in the country and the people are sound. Really friendly and generous of spirit. Not the most picturesque part of our green and pleasant land, though.

I thought it was just me.

To be fair, the place has been left to rot. It doesn't help that the councils are not very good. Walsall MBC is a basket case. I remember when the Chief Exec was sacked by the Leader (political decision). The sacked Chief Exec came back as a grass cutter. The Leader was ousted and the grass cutter came back as Chief Exec! I also remember a councillor secretly recording conversations between council officers in a cafe frequented by officers.

I've not avoided it at all. I've answered more than once. Use the search facility in the top right for my posts today in this thread.
 
It would be so nice to see Frank post on other threads as vigorously as he does every time blues suspect foul play to wards our club.

11 away ties isn't 'bad luck'

Maybe we should lodge a team name change to save the draws some time. I propose for every domestic cup draw we are re-branded "Manchester City Away to..."
