Man Utd playing on Sunday 29th and we’re playing on Sat 4th, so can’t see a Tuesday or Thursday game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that front - would you think there would be the same scrutiny with tickets as there is with PL games ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if the rumoured 7k allocation turns out to be correct, they’ll be hard pushed to be checking every ticket… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, probably, but even so, it’s still odd behaviour, to just think ‘Man Utd, ahhh, air disaster haha’. I mean I kind of understand (not condone obviously) when people are doing stuff like that in a juvenile attempt to wind opposition fans up, but to just randomly have that as first reaction to ‘Man Utd’? Weird. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And guess what, both of their draws this season have been home games..

Seen a stat that the probability of this happening is 0.02% yet here we are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've faced a Premier League side 7 rounds in a row. Last season Manchester United faced Charlton in the quarterfinals and Burnley in the 4th round (last season in the Championship), both at home. Charlton was the one draw that anyone left wanted to hit, even moreso at home. Any Premier League side could've reached the final with those fixtures. I believe Villa were not all that strong yet when you faced them at home in the 3rd round. For a Man United fan like Goldbridge to cry about the draw is insane, but maybe it's just easy to get spoiled from last seasons draws. Or maybe he is just fishing/trolling, and I'm taking the bait.. In terms of pure progression chances, drawing a League 1 side while also getting the home advantage in the quarterfinals equals maximum progression chances.

mondonewc Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Odds to qualify Man U 4/5, us 19/20, surprised it's so close, would love it so much if we get it done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
