You'd laugh when you see Citys last 3 seasons of cup draws.
Carabao Cup 2021/22
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
So what will happen with the PL match vs them on the 19th? Just wondering on dates. Twice in a row?!
And they wonder why city win this competition every season….
It happens all the time.
And CL. They’ve been being served up chaff like Monaco, Lyon and Spurs and still fecked it up. Pep’s only won 1 fa cup as wel if that’s right despite all the favourable draws.
*Sigh* Of course we get a PL team. Fully prepared to get another CL group of death now.

In truth I’d happily see us playing a second string and even go out, Carabao is a nothing cup and it should be for the likes of Donny, Matic, Axel, Mata etc. PL & CL are priority with FA cup as main domestic cup focus
Plus I mean you're pretty much guaranteed to get a PL side once you make it to the semi finals and then the final so they almost don't count.City cup fixtures last 3 seasons:
17 PL Clubs in 32 fixtures. @Pogue Mahone
No PL tie in any of the 3rd rounds. Lucky fecks.
And even then they've still managed to have the likes of Brighton and Burton Albion and Watford and relegation fighting Villa in their semis and finals.
It's absurd.
I wouldn't mind it either if I'm being completely honest, but chances are high that Ole picks a strong side. I just hope he rests Bruno at the very least.

If you remove the Final/Semi Final fixtures as the majority of the case it should be against PL Clubs. You're left with 8 PL fixtures from 22 games.
fecking hellCity's 108 cup goals since Palace's last cup goal don't seem so crazy now huh? This is getting beyond ridiculous now.
Was it an FA cup or League cup game last year vs West Ham which went to extra time? One of the worst games I've watched, fell asleep multiple times.
Must have been bad because it’s completely wiped from my memory.
It was last seasons FA Cup 5th round. United won 1-0 AET with a McTominay goal.
West Ham bought on former United youngster Ademipo Odubeko as a sub, and then subbed him off later after he'd struggled. But a couple of months later I was watching him score a hat trick for West Ham's U23's, including a last minute winner, as they beat us 3-2 after we'd led 2-0.
Even looking at the few PL ties they've played, aside from a QF against Leicester in 2018/19, it's all midtable (Everton/Arsenal) or bottom of the table (Southampton, Burnley, Fulham, Newcastle).
That last bit is great to hear. Thanks. He’s Irish and I felt terrible for him when he was subbed off.
Home draw is the most important thing. Should be a good game vs West ham but expect us to beat them comfortably. Only negative is probably won't see as many kids.
We played West Ham twice last season in the space of about 2 weeks in the cup then the League , both at home, both terrible games and both 1-0 wins.
Moyes has been coming to Old Trafford and parking the bus for 20 years. So boring.
Surely that's not possible if it's random. The split between the divisions should be far more even no?
Our line-up against West Ham 
Henderson - Dalot/New RB, Lindelöf, Bailly, Telles - Fred, Matic; Greenwood, Van de Beek, Martial - Cavani

That's very, very lucky. There's typically around 50% PL teams in the 3rd round, and avoiding PL teams 7 times in a row should only happen around 0.8% of the time. (0.50^7 ~ 0.0078)No PL tie in any of the 3rd rounds. Lucky fecks.
That's the team that Guardiola was moaning about having to play?
A team containing De Bruyne, Sterling, Torres Foden and Mahrez?

That bench as well.
He's a prick of the highest order
He's such a grade A wanker. Manages a team with a huge depth, cries about a team he'll field.
City Academy 1 - 0 Pep
De Bruyne, Sterling, Torres, Foden and Mahrez and Peps still bitching
I'm convinced it's him trying to convince himself he has it as hard as other managers.
It's like he's trying to trick himself that he's not playing FIFA on semi pro or Amateur difficulty level.

I hope he's taking all of us for a ride.
Klopp is such a gurning wanker. Hope Norwich knock the fecking smile off his face
Interested to see what Gordon can do for Liverpool. Looked one of England's best players in the recent international break.
They always look good for England then the reality hit home...they have zero chance of playing for England under this boring set up
He's only 16. Think we were in for him this summer too. Zach Dearnley starts for Oldham too, one of our former youth players.
