[blumoon]

We'll be in Swansea twice that week so as We've got them in the league on Sat 24th

what a shit draw

Let's hope tomorrow's draw is kinder

 

[Pezzer2]

Not bad for me working away in Bristol although still an hour and a half away. Certainly beats the 6 hours it usually takes from Manc

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

We need to exit this competition asap this season.

Swans is a shit draw. go out now or win it!

Hilarious that the rags seem to get small southern clubs year after year...'big' cup tie for those clubs and so much easier for southern plastics to attend..lol

 

[Hart&CitySoul]

So bored of us getting same old boring ties in the cups..
Why can't we have an accy at home or away?! Pfffffft!

So predictable, it's painful in these draws.

totally agree - shit draw two European trips to Wales in the space of a week. It will be just our luck to get CSKA again and some other far flung places

Anyone have the exact number for this run? I remember reading last year some absurdly high number & it keeps going.

Not really considering we got notts county in 2011

Not too bad that draw bearing in mind Swansea are not the same threat without Boney :)

Nor are we, with Bony

It's crap. At least half a days holiday and guaranteed to be knackered the next day.

Agreed. But, as long as only the youngsters and the squad players participate in it, it's fine to continue in it.

So 5 years ago. That's quite a long time when you look at how often the other teams get the more fun looking matches.

And if you think we have gone all the way to the final in 4 competitions since then that has to be at least 30 consecutive times where we have played a team from the top 2 divisions.

 

[Tonster]

Doesn't matter how you look at it, it's a shit draw. Travelling involved (Swansea away twice in 5 days) prem opposition, time off work....just shite.

Swansea away is the 38th consecutive draw against teams from top two divisions in domestic cups.

 

[Rammyblues]

Not fussed about this competition, we should really let loose the EDS for this because the final stages of which seem to get in the way at the wrong time of the season IMO. Pem League CL is where it is at, and the late Feb/March time is a crucial period.

Has Platini become a second-hand microwave salesman since his fall from grace?

 

[Manchester33]

Love this competition. It's genuinely my favorite cup, unfortunately on this occassion we've got a really boring draw, but I have some great memories in it.

I'd disagree with anyone who thinks we shouldn't take this competition seriously because, as we've seen last year, it's very winnable!
