Some managers just are lucky yeah.
Look at our Europa League run under Mourinho when we won it in 2017, or the fact in the League cup we faced Hull in the semi final and then Southampton in the final.
Ole got consistently horrible cup draws.
Carabao Cup 2022/23

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

It’s random pal. You don’t earn it.
Hour on the plane - nothing to worry themThese draws recently
Nice long trip to Southampton for Newcastle too.
Playing 2nd leg at home it big advantage for Newcastle, they should go through comfortably.
Playing Newcastle over 2 legs is better than in one game probably but given our schedule and having City and Arsenal before cup semis, it's not a great time to play them twice so that's a another positive from this draw.

Newcastle would be a cnt of a team in the final though. They will just park the bus and wait for a random header or pens.
Me too.
Indeed!Have we switched fortunes with Chelsea for domestic cup draws this season?
The Southampton manager is rambling. Born again Christian?
The Milky White Cup?
Thats how I do the tidying up, with a sledgehammer.
Saints in final would be great. Playing against Atletico in final will be pain
littlewoods cup, Jesus this has had more names than I had hot dinners this year
Is Henderson ineligible for these Semi finals? Would be hilarious if he was
Never heard him speak I don't think, but his wiki page has a paragraph on how much he loves him some Jesus, so probably.
When are the two legs?
Milking the moment
Pro blackface???
He no play.
Guardiola has surely been the luckiest manager ever with the draws he’s had in domestic competitions at City.
On another note, it seems like a really weird season where we don’t have to play wolves 16 times after Christmas.
Hopefully Southampton turn over the barcodes.
The way @Damien explained it cracked me up. Especially when it was your handiwork.
Would be fine. There's two weeks between the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi final and the first leg against Barcelona.
What he did made the most sense, especially when half the time errors come up when trying to merge thread
Can’t we just be nice?
Deep explorer by nature.Your location says "Rectum" so I am sure you're an expert on nice rings, mate.
It would be such a positive start to the Ten Hag era. Gets the monkey off his back and gives him time to keep moving us forward.
Shhhhhh! Don’t attract the attention of the FA!
We've got Arsenal on Sunday 22nd - so I'm guessing we'll play on Wednesday 25th the first leg?
After City this weekend, even though the fixture list is busy, teams we face won’t be all that: Nottingham (x2), Reading, Crystal Palace (x2), Arsenal, etc.
As ever, I have no idea what is going on. I'm just glad @Damien wields his power for good.

I try, but struggle, to be honest.
He is a strong Christian yes.
Semis fall at a decent time with Reading in between them as well. Rotation in that one and let's get to Wembley against Forest.
Not gonna lie lads, league cup it may be, I'm excited at the prospect of silverware in ETHs first season
If we win it, it's a fantastic building block to get that winners mentality in the squad and push on for more.

A trophy is always nice, but top 4 is more important.
I’d say something, but it’ll probably get deleted.
Absolutely. It'd be great for the bonding and team building and all that lark.
