It really isn't. Just looking at the FA cup since the takeover. We've been drawn at home 14 times and away 10. Given that the last five have been away, we were 14 home and 5 away, prior to 15/16. Out of those 24 ties, 11 have been against premier league opposition, 13 not. Again, given the last 5 have been premier league, we were on 6 out of 19 against premier league clubs up to 14/15. Even then 4 of those five we've been drawn away at have been in the bottom 5. Providing you look at a reasonable sample, these draws are not quite as disastrous as everyone seems to think.It's long overdue
