Most seem to be moaning more about the fact it's an uninspiring draw.Some City fans really are embarrassing. We have had favourable home draws time after time and we get a team near the bottom of the prem, who will probably field a side of reserves, and there moaning about it.
Let me guess it part of the world wide conspiracy against us....
We'll face Norwich twice already this season so it's not the most interesting of ties.

Not that astonishing really. There is about a 70% chance of the first team out drawing a premier league or championship side, as they make up 44 out of the 64 teams in it. There's only 4 ties without a premier league or championship team in it. Assuming all goes to form, the next round might well have only 4 non PL/Championship teams left. The odds on getting one of them become quite small (about 12.5%). These odds change depending on the first team out, obviously. As you can see, by the fifth round it could easily be the case that there is a 100% chance of getting a team from the top two divisions.31 consecutive draws against Premier League or Championship opposition. That's genuinely astonishing......or at least it would be if it wasn't us
Don't complain too much - my husband & I are ST holders. We live in Norwich. 9-10 hours return trip for every home game :(
I salute you

Well we will probably be too tired after Christmas and have loads of injuries so it is all academic really, elimination from C1, FA and 2 or 3 defeats in the league on the cardsIf I had to choose a game to lose in January it would be this one, hopefully we can win them all though.
