Carabao Cup R3 Draw | Newcastle (A)

[WestGorton]

Dennis Tueart is going to play for us.

So the quality of opposition is irrelevant as long as they are at home?

Did I say that? What I am referring to is that any team would prefer to be drawn at home. I also said it was unlikely to be fixed but 4,095 to 1 is very improbable/coincidental/fortunate. Ok with you?

Not even Wigan?

Thank fuck we got Newcastle.
Could have been them…

This is a lot better tie than you insta try think. They've got a thin squad. They've got champions league for thr first time in forever, they basically have to play a weakened side. We will make widespread changes as usual so you'd expect our squad players to beat theirs. Much better tie than a decent midtable side that might hold it in higher esteem.

I can't say I'll be arsed if we go out early but I would really really love to win this and get the opportunity to get a picture with our current quadruple and that sweet sweet carabao cup too.

Not sure. Both sides play pretty average Prem sides bookending the tie. Home advantage and a club desperate for a lift-off trophy. This is a tough gig.

Every draw is a separate “event “. 50% chance of home or away on each draw.

And 12 of those separate events with the same outcome is 4,095 to 1. Are there any other occasions you are aware of where the same team has had those same separate outcomes 12 times consecutively? Didn’t think so

My fault, couldnt be further away. Oh well, devonshire pub it is.

Unfortunately The Devonshire has long been demolished.
It's been a MacDonalds for years now.

It is what it is. Go and see on forums what our draws are considered as. And what our treatment of the refs/fixes etc is.

According to everyone, we are the rags of the last 3 decades.

The reality is just nothing more than fans moaning about stuff they wake up next day realising is nothing other than the way it is. Draws.

BBC Sport impartiality.

The funny thing here is he doesn't say it's corrupt. He made a sarcastic comment saying it's a surprise. Which after 12 in a row or whatever it is, it definitely isn't a surprise.

If it was city in the exact situation, I'm sure the BBC admins response wouldn't of been in defence. They would of posted reminding everyone we have had 12 draws in a row at home.

Later round doesn't clash with the CWC as far as I'm aware.

We have a spare mid-week which Liverpool didn't have.

Cheap tickets and a night on the piss in Newcastle.

There are worse draws to be honest.
