Guys, we literally beat Chelsea 4 games back. Took 4 points off them last season.

What's with the doom and gloom?

because it would've been nice to have an easier draw and give the kids some more game time. now we'll need to play full strength if we want to progress

If we're going to win to the thing will have to beat Chelsea or a team as good as them eventually anyway. Same with qualifying for Europe, we aren't finna achieve that without getting results against the division's best teams at some point.

I mean, OK. Whatever it takes really. 

That doesn't explain posts suggesting we've already lost?

Different circumstances 

I think they're the best all round team in the country personally 

One off cup game though... Stranger things have happened

I think people wanted a lower league team, not for an easy route, but just so we can play the kids again. We might do anyway, but I'd imagine we'll play a full strength team

Weren't the circumstances that we were on the beach and they needed to win to guarantee Champions League football the following season?

I think they're very good yes. 

Stranger things than one good Premier League team beating another better Premier League team have definitely happened. Regularly.

In the expectation that we will finish 8th to 12th I wouldnt, I want a cup 

You need luck off the draw to win them. We didn't get that this time, hopefully we get some for the FA Cup
