Almost wish we'd panic buy and shoot our psr bolt for future windows on the off chance it works out to be a wise move just to stop the conspiracy theories, willed confusion and palpable gagging to unleash toxicity against the club from some people.

All you did was piss and moan when we finished 4th - so I'd say its a waste of time you following NUFC any season

Think most of the ones in the 90s were March, some were even played under floodlights, seemed to coincide with the Coca-Cola sponsorship starting in 92/93 - wonder if they suggested or if the idea just came up at the time of shifting it further away from the FA Cup final to differentiate

If anything they should be seeded to play each other. Then half the c*nts can get knocked out straight away and jobs a good 'un.

Least were one of those cunty sides that win shoot-outs now. Always had us down as the sort that was bound, and almost always did, lose them.

Used to play for Derby too - so in every way

Never won at Wimbledon have we? Suppose its interesting enough, better all round if it were a home tie mind

Beyond parody. (*literally as I just made a remark above not knowing this was actually already the case) Almost worth taking the hit on ever winning it to mercy kill this miserable cup off. Will be City again, like coming through against Blackburn last year and feeling it was all for nowt.

Just made a remark about that in the cup draw thread and about how it will become a rule before long - had no idea it already was, ffs its literally beyond parody. Wouldn't piss on this sport if I was starting over.

Got a feeling the teams in Europe will get home draws to save travel, by chance, it'll be the rule before long though

Been like Blackburn in the FA Cup last year this *last time we had a pen shoot out too for those asking

Fingers crossed eh?

Isak's our best pen taker, a factor to consider

Vicki still a tidy bit of tackle though

Remember when games used to be more often than not fun at this stage of this competition. Used to really look forward to them for us and generally. Feel like resented inconvenient obligations to fulfil and get over with now.

Old school number. Followed traditionally by "you're shit aggh" most fun you could get at some games in those days

PSR is working just as intended. Fine and challenge free for first dibs for some, hands tied behind their backs for others, would-be challengers especially.

Perfect game to start him in really and to ease him back in generally - a league cup game. Typically it would be in a stroll against some lower league side but a lower Premier League side is as good as it gets for us in this cup so what they hey.

They've got more money. If it wasn't for FFP/PSR we'd be the fastest least fussiest signers of all

Just checked out the scores, what a plethora of uninteresting fixtures. Last thing this competition needed was seeding teams in the next round too.

Any manager would still have to play the players Howe has to play. That's our biggest problem by far. Don't think anybody can move us forward until we see the back of regularly using some of the names we all know

For squad, alternating, impact subs ,resting we have to play those players regularly - its more that they're just not good and not being replaced than the managers playing them, otherwise were stuck with the same 11 every game.

I still fancy us more against Spurs than these but that means no change from last season which had to be improved on

Its identical to the performance there last season without all those behind the scenes things

Dyche reminds me of Emile off Robocop, looks and sounds like and will be staggering around going "help me man!" in no time
