Carabao Cup R4 Draw - Burnley (A)

[Blue Smarties]

lets face it we cant draw in the viewing crowds unlike like Brentford v fulham

Different night, but that’s also a London Derby and an opportunity for Brentford to seek revenge for the play off final.

Put the tinfoil away, the majority are better for TV:

Tuesday 29 September: Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea - 7:45pm - Big clash and London derby
Wednesday 30 September: Newport County v Newcastle United - 5:30pm - PL away to lower league
Wednesday 30 September: Brighton & Hove Albion v Manchester United - 7.45pm - Admittedly a shit pick, argument could be a genuine 'upset' coming
Thursday 1 October: Brentford v Fulham - 5:30pm - London derby and play-off final redemption
Thursday 1 October: Liverpool v Arsenal - 7.45pm - Big clash, entertaining game

Thursday 1 October: Brentford v Fulham - 5:30pm - London derby and play-off final redemption A nothing game on a par with Oldham v Rochdale.

If we played Thursday night you’d complain as we play the following Saturday.

No first teamer should play in this imo. We're stretched far too thin already.

Much better games on paper than ours

Like Brighton v United?

Burnley finished way ahead of Brighton last season and City had a big margin over United for the best part of ten years.

Plus the fact that City win trophies. The last time United won a domestic trophy was gifted to them by City putting in the Youth Team against a full-strength United at Old Trafford.

As the holders this is our second game we won’t be on tv missing out on the tv money again where as the rags and scousers are always on it stinks.

They realise they can show us at a later date.

Yeah more chance of Brighton beating them than Burnley us. Also the scum are always on for cup games because they get the highest viewing figures. The other games look better potentially than ours too. Plenty of streams knocking about anyway.

Maybe they are tired of City being on the telly much more than anyone else, and that Burnley v City is a game even Burnley fans don't want to watch.

It is amazing as we didn't get to a semi final for over 30 years, and we normally put a good team out bar Keegan v Arsenal.

Given were playing on the Wednesday due to our fixture list & this is on the Thursday then it makes no odds

was being sarcastic :-)
