jack j Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) To be fair we've not been in the champions league in years. We were always going to get a tough draw in that. The fa cup we have played teams below us or in the league below. We are in the last 8 so you'd expect the chances of playing a top team is high The league cup we had a piss easy route to the final last season so no surprise we got a few big guns this year Edited February 28 by jack j Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samptime29 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Our cup draws are so hard. Not just the fact we had PSG, Dortmund, AC Milan, City (all twice), Man U, and Chelsea but we only had 1 home tie from 7 domestic cup games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 End of the day, it's jokes how hard our cup runs have been, but it sure does beat getting Cambridge at home and losing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack j Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Aye all at home and the 2nd leg of the semi at home 2 of them went down and the other 2 flirted with relegation most the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I despair at times. Even if we beat City we would then get the winners of Man U/Liverpool in the semis and Chelsea in the final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Wonder if these draws are unprecedented in their shitness. Man United got Man City away followed by Liverpool away one year in R3 and R4 - but the other cup draws were piss easy (League Cup: 3rd tier Leeds, 4th tier Aldershot, championship Crystal Palace and in the CL Benfica, Basel and Galati) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 In 2000 we were gifted Tranmere in the QF. We've paid for it ever since... The last time we got to the QF we drew City also. Time before that was Chelsea away, en route to their second straight PL title. Time before that was Spurs. Time before that was Arsenal en route to a double. And yes, when you get to the last 8 your odds of facing a good team obviously increase. But other than Spurs, who were kind of middling then, we've gotten just about the worst draw imaginable in four of the last five. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stal Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I've always reckoned the league fixtures were fixed, I'm now thinking the cup draws might be too. -OR- All football is predetermined for storyline purposes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time before that was Arsenal en route to a double. Tranmere wasn't even that lucky, it was away and there was four or five easier draws, they got to the final of the league cup that year and had beaten three PL teams at home already, they were one of three Championship teams plus a league one or two team - which obviously Chelsea got at home.

Yorkie Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I can, to an extent, live with the fact we've been drawn against them - when you get this far it becomes increasingly likely. It's just the it's fucking away a-fucking-gain. So frustrating. There were 14 possible draws for us and we've come out with the second worst. That's obviously it as well, like. Not a chance we're getting through that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
