Prove it !He's just wrong!
Prove it !
Someone already has above.
How can the chances of being drawn away be anything other than 50%
50% chance of being drawn away then multiply that by the chance that our opponent is one of the "trickier" ones
so for example, in the third round of the FA Cup, everybody has a 50% chance of an away draw assuming a fair random draw system. However of the 63 teams in that draw apart from us, 19 are Premier League teams and I used the top 5 from the Championship. So the chance of being drawn away to a premier league or top 5 championship side is
50% x 24/63 = 19%

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
Sorry shemnel I think you are wrong. Norwich were in the Prem that season and finished 18th. The game was the 29th October 2913.
You've missed Arsenal and us in 2010/11
im on both domestic cups here

No I said they played 13 prem sides on the spin. Its 13 without replays and second legs.

Seems to me Frank has proved his point and you are trying to call him out on an unimportant technicality?
The draws are clearly just an unlucky patch for us and it was only recently another team has had similar misfortune as Frank has shown to you.
Might get a home draw by then....29th October 2913.

Discount those two as they are not part of the calculation.

Don't let them browbeat into submission fella.I wasn't being entirely serious mate. Like I said, hopefully an easy draw in the next round will put it to bed!

So taking away the cup replay and a second leg I count 13 would you agree?

You've tied every which way.Someone already has above.
And United having some money spinning ties half a decade ago doesn't explain our 11 away draws in a row, 9 of which are to PL sides.

I'm just shocked football will still be played then.The game was the 29th October 2913.
The fact you know who they draw 900 years in advance shows to me the whole thing is rigged.

Wonder how much they made out of all those home ties against PL teams.So taking away the cup replay and a second leg I count 13 would you agree?
Still doesn't explain our current run of aways.

You haven't noted if these games were at Home or Away which I thought the discussion was all about?
