There's no doubting that the draws in the last 18 months or so have been very kind to us. Last year's FA Cup run, as an example. But I remember the first few seasons of being in the CL (BOOOO!!). Every season, we were getting Bayern, or Barca, or Real. In the days when they were bloody good sides. And seemingly forever getting drawn away in the FA Cup. So the always getting easy draws guff is shite.Anyone got the tweet from last year disproving the city always get an easy cup draw nonsense?

Coventry home or away please as I've never seen us play them at the Etihad or the Ricoh. - Seen us play them loads of times at Maine Road and Highfield Road.
They'll have to beat Bristol Rovers first though.
Or AFC Fylde which will really upset the rags, dippers and media morons.
I've seen us away against all other league teams still in the draw, but the following have yet to visit the Etihad:
Brentford
Bristol Rovers
Carlisle
Crewe
Gillingham
Millwall
Northampton
Oxford
Rochdale
Shrewsbury
Tranmere

In a decade we’ve only drawn 4 top sides out of 30 draws in the rounds before the semifinal stage in the FA Cup
We’ve only drawn 4 top sides out of 24 before the semifinal stage of the EFL Cup
We’ve only had 3 tough group stages in the CL out of 9
We’ve been drawn against a top side 3 times in the Ro16 out of 6
And we went out to two Prem teams in the last two years in the CL Quarters, one we finished 25 points ahead of and one we finished 27 points ahead of in the Prem.

How do you break a football club’s leg?
