Carabao Cup R3 Draw | Newcastle (A)

Perfect for Philips.

That was in 2016/17 and we finished 3rd.

I stand corrected.
We were going great guns until we played bleeding Spurs! Then we were smashed by Barca. Pep was still putting things in place, I suppose. I do clearly remember Kev announcing his arrival with a brilliant goal against the rags, and just thinking “Wow, who is this?” at the end of that match. That was the most significant result of that early period of the season.

Cheap tickets and a night on the piss in Newcastle.

There are worse draws to be honest.

Defo cheap trains and hotels for the minute

Don’t even hide it

But they forget to mention that this is United's eleventh home draw on the trot in domestic cup competitions. It may not be fixed but it is very lucky and unusual. What are the odds on that happening?

 

[BringBackSwales]

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.

As I said I don’t think the draws are fixed, they can’t be, but odds of 4,095:1 are incredible (assuming my maths is right!). Clearly very fortunate

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

Fairly sure Leeds are on 12 consecutive away draws in the FA Cup.
Villa and Brighton have also had runs of 12 away draws in previous decades, so although it’s rare it does happen. Probably roughly once every 4096 runs!

You won’t get any odds from the bookies on the Rags being on the TV.

And this century we have beaten them nearly every time we have played them. There can't be many, if any, other teams over the last 20 years, that we have had better results against.

They are a good team but not as good as us currently.

Assume you lumped on at the bookies knowing it’s a fix. Bet you’ve made a fortune.
