[Everz]

Fucksake.. now for the shit draw for us.. i fuckinh hate these cups.

 

[Ch3tan]

hahaha ! Everz...

 

[Everz]

Birmingham?

Sigh.. nothing fun at all, get us knocked out already. Wanted to actually somewhere new but for the past 8 years we've got the same shit over and over again.

Withdrawl us.. it's pointless!

 

[Keitanz]

Here we go again...

We can though... but that's not to say we will.

 

[Everz]

Balls to it. I'm going down Whaddon Road tommorow and getting me a ticket for WHL.

 

[Keitanz]

Man City v Man Utd in first draw..... what are the chances.... the entire thing is fixed really..

 

[Everz]

Yeh, I'd opt for that to try and get most derbies/interesting figures.

:|.

 

[Everz]

Sarcasm btw, just wanted Cheltenham so I can actually coax the gf into going .

SHIT ON THE BRUMMIES .

 

[Keitanz]

I don't think it's a coincidence that there are always so many big name ties with these draws.. it's a bit silly really...

 

[Sydrik]

Steven Taylor reportedly out for the rest of the season with achilles injury. Pretty harsh on newcastle and a player who was having an awesome season

 

[Everz]

Johnson dropped at last, biggest shithouse we have ever bought him.

What?

In the third round when the Premier League teams join there are 64 teams. There is a very good chance you will get some kind of big team match up or local derby. Over recent years Manchester Utd have been fortunate with a lot of home draws, this time they got unlucky.

The magic of the FA cup is the randomness. Just as many people will want to watch a David vs Goliath as they will yet another top of the PL clash.

 

[Ch3tan]

Cadelin, we've long ago established Keitz is extremely special. The odds aren't that great against big teams being drawn against each other.

 

[Everz]

Craddock back in the side and we look miles better. Can't keep relying on him though as he's getting well on .

 

[Everz]

Fuck off.

 

[Everz]

Fucking shit, fucking absolute shit. Thats me traveling now, can't be fucked to watch the rest.

 

[Billargh]

Not a penalty at all, but well done Hennessey!

 

[Billargh]

Ahahahaha Wolves!

 

[Everz]

My stream went insane as I was writing that.

Traveling on hold haha.

 

[Ch3tan]

ouch larson! ouch ouch ouch, fletcher!

 

[Everz]

I need to vent more hah.

 

[Ch3tan]

oh dear oh dear, sunderland!

Good game this, shit defending mind.

 

[Everz]

GET IN!!!!!!!!

 

[Ch3tan]

Fletcher scored btw Everz, if your stream is donw.

 

[Ch3tan]

Mind you... massive handball, very very lucky Everz.

It seems to happen every draw.. there is always a big name when there is pretty much ALWAYS a far better chance of say... Man Utd v Accrington Stanley...

The draws are far from random.. really.. the draw should be seeded until at least the quarter finals..

There is also this from last year.. http://blogs.independent.co.uk/2010/11/29/was-the-fa-cup-draw-fixed/

And in the same draw this time last year, Liverpool got Man Utd...

64 teams in the draw yet this happens... you don't have to be a mathematician to realise there is quite a low chance of getting a top team...

No no, you seem to misunderstand how reality works.

There is an equal chance of any team getting any other team, not more or less. IDIOT.

Im watching hah, I kept my stream on
