McCormick Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I’d be okay with any one of those teams at Home, besides probably Leicester and Man City/Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, but I'd be ok with the other 3 also at home. We're going to play one of them at some point and it will be a better chance playing them up here. Maybe I'm showing my age as I've been to 3 losing cup finals and there is no worse feeling in footballing terms. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggys First Goal Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 City at home with Pep throwing the game based on the assurance that we curtail our PL title winning dream for a season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I agree that we may be better off facing the winner of Man City/Liverpool at home now in the quarters and just throw everything at it with home advantage. There's no extra time until the semis, so a draw takes it to a penalty shootout (I know our record there, but the earlier rounds are everyone's best chance to put them out). If we lose, we had our shot at it and focus on the league. Failing that, would be nice to see the winner of Man City/Liverpool get Man U away.

I'd spend the build up to that expecting to lose like 98 and 99. Would like the feeling of fancying winning, even if to be dashed. I was more guttted losing the semi to Chelsea in 2000 than the two cup finals because I was convinved we'd have turned Villa over in the final than the 98 and 99 finals I had zero expectations of, mostly because of what we were facing - double and treble winners.

Optimistic Nut Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) Not sure I agree with getting Man City/Liverpool yet like.

Optimistic Nut Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) My hope is: Toon v Charlton Man Utd v Man City/Liverpool Wolves v Leicester Southampton v Forest Semis Toon v Forest Man U v Wolves/Leicester Final Toon v Wolves/Leicester Probably the most likely route to a cup win.

If we go out thats tired legs saved too. Knock one of them out and you'd have to fancy us to get to the final. Mind, not sure I could stomach another semi / final defeat to Man Utd. This is an incredibly sensible post. This please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m confused Presumably under the assumption that you'll have to run through one of them at some point, so why not get it out of the way when their guard may be more down than if they're zoned in in a final? I'm not fussed either way. I also believe we'll have to run through them at some point so if we get Man City/Liverpool next I at least have faith with Howe. But I won't argue at all with Charlton. You can only best what's in front of you; we've still gotten past two PL teams, however arduous it was, and a semi final is a semi final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 If they’re going to have an off day, let them have it against Leicester, Southampton or Wolves. Charlton at SJP is the dream. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Cup draws are fun and I know the thought of messing with tradition will not be received well, but anyone wish at some point (R16 / QF) there was an established bracket? Similar to the World Cup I’d find it more interesting if we knew (or were finding out tonight) the path to the final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
