Given that we play Bournemouth away on the Saturday in the late kick off and then Newcastle in the early kick off the following Saturday then we could do with a relatively easy home game. Common sense would say we won‘t play on the Thursday but you never know with TV companies.

Tuesday night it is then v Accrington away.

A maximum of 817 tickets.
 
The warm ball that is City will be getting suitably warmed up. In 5 domestic cup ties we’ve drawn Chelsea twice, Liverpool, arsenal and Southampton. It’ll be the scouse cunts at their place.

Why would the governing bodies be warming our ball up and purposely putting all the big hitters out of the Cups early doors by drawing them against the best team in the country to get beat against?

We’ve had 12 years of the easiest cup runs of any team in the country. It was bound to happen that we’d get a tough run one year.

Sense at last in a cup draw thread. There is no fixing going on in my opinion it is literally the luck of the draw.

Yet our fans are always moaning about warm balls and getting tough draws and United getting easy draws.

Even in the CL we’ve had dross like Plzn CSKA Kyiv Donetsk Celtic Feyenoord Basel Hoffenheim Shalke Zagreb Lyon Olympiacos Marseille Brugge. In one Ro16 CL game against Shalke we had the same aggregate scoreline as we had against Burton Albion.

We were even handed CL games against English teams where we were 25 points (Liverpool) and 27 points (Spurs) ahead of in the Prem table at the time (yet we ended up going out to both of them).

We of all teams can never really moan about Cup draws.
