useless Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 If we're going to win the competition we're going to have to beat a team as good and probably better than Man Utd anyway, so might as well do it in the third round, start as we mean to go on. But would have been nice to get a draw where we could have played a few of the youngsters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 What a crap draw. If you exclude the league cup run in 2020 we have had 1 home draw in the last 8 league or fa cup matches. What is the away allocation at old trafford for the fa cup? It should be 15% of the capacity should it not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackbauer24 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Statistically this must be up there for a ridiculous anomaly. 5 times in 20 years in a pot of 61 other teams. Surely the odds are astronomical of that happening?! We get them 25% of the time... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly and Gerrard will have had more impact on the lads come then, I really want us to take this seriously. When I was a kid, I'd get a Guinness book of records from my aunt for Christmas and every year straight to the football section to see who had won the most F.A. cups, it was years before we lost that record and we never won the ******* since ffs, desperate for us to win this before I pop me cloggs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the odds are astronomical of that happening?! We get them 25% of the time... If anyone else has studied maths more recently than 15 years ago please come in and correct me. Using an online binomial distribution calculator, the chances of a 1/63 event happening 5 or more times over 20 trials is 0.00128%, or roughly 1 in 78000. So there is a 1 in 78000 chance of drawing the same team 5 times in a 20 year period, and the team that we've done it with just happens to have been the biggest club in the world for most of that time. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won 2 of them (obvs 1957, plus 1920) Fantastic stats. And 1920 was an FA Cup winning year for us too. So, essentially, every time we beat Man United in the FA Cup... we win the FA Cup. Bring it on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won 2 of them (obvs 1957, plus 1920) And there’s 1999 or 2000 was it? when We ended up playing Darlington, who replaced them in the draw because of that world club championship thing.
