No. If you read my earlier post, you''ll see that I said that I don't think it's fixed. It's a remarkable coincidence though.
But you did say yor are questioning it Ric which sort of implys you think it could be.

So your seriously thinking, Ex player's. Multi millionaires, household names, are being paid to stop City getting home games in cups?
Do you know how fuckin ludicrous that is?
The most corrupt people I know (there are plenty) are all millionaires and they hold positions of trust and power.
So I wouldn't use that as part of your argument.

To those six people I say:
I respect your opinion despite disagreeing myself. Hopefully this allows some interesting discourse in the future
Exactly mate that is what a forum is all about. Never understand why people get personal about it. Whether it is me or someone else its just an opinion.
You clearly think different to me but that is absolutely fine.

There are people furiously checking wikipedia now hoping to prove me wrong....In fairness it would not be the first time.
Don't think it was 13 but they did get quite a few in the fa cup on the spinThought you'd been pulled up on that already.

Leicester (a Thai-owned club) v Liverpool looks favourite to me.
Yep. Either that or the Rags game v The Plucky Little Burton which everyone in the world would obviously want to see

I wasn't being entirely serious mate. Like I said, hopefully an easy draw in the next round will put it to bed!

Would you like to add the league cup to that list so between those dates you have the league cup 2012/13 and 2013/14.

If you're getting to Wembley then you expect PL oppo, but that still only makes 9.

does anyone know the last team to get 11 consecutive away ties in cup comps.

Just to be clear about that run for United:
City (PL) - Jan 12 - FA Cup
Liverpool (PL) - Jan 12 - FA Cup
Newcastle (PL) - Sep 12 - Lge Cup
Chelsea (PL) - Oct 12 - Lge Cup
W Ham (PL) - Jan 13 - FA Cup
Fulham (PL) - Jan 13 - FA Cup
Reading (PL) - Feb 13 - FA Cup
Chelsea (PL) - Mar 13 - FA Cup
Chelsea (PL) - Apr 13 - FA Cup - REPLAY
Liverpool (PL) - Sep 13 - Lge Cup
Norwich (CHAMPO) - Oct 13 - Lge Cup
Stoke (PL) - Dec 13 12 - Lge Cup
Swans (PL) - Jan 14 - FA Cup
Sunderland (PL) - Jan 14 - Lge Cup
Sunderland (PL) - Feb 14 - Lge Cup - Mandatory 2nd leg
So it's 9 games, up to Norwich, but 13 if you thought Norwich were in the Prem. Grimey run though. This was quickly followed by the likes of MK Dons, Yeovil, Cambridge and PNE

You've tied him up in knots mate.

Nope, still not true as illustrate below.
You also cannot count replays or second legs. We are counting draws not games.
