Someone worked it out the number of possibilities vs number of times we've played them and it was something crazy like 7000/1. That's obviously gone up now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flamingsombrero Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I'm sure we can recreate the last time we won a cup tie against Man U at Old Trafford. By the looks Gerrard has even got us playing the same formation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 We're out then. Even if we can overcome the mental block that often makes us roll over for them (which tbf we didn't do in all three games last season), VAR won't let us win. The outcome has already been decided. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're No 3 in the hat. Man Utd are No 18. That's all you need to know Ties to be played week commencing 7th November maybe you could have put on the spoiler tags 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallisFrizz Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Gerrards been manager of Aston Villa for 3 cup draws and 2 of them have seen us away to Manchester United. We’re cursed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) Everthing seems to be going wrong, we agree a deal for Sarr but it falls through, we beat Bolton but then draw Man Utd away in the next round, we sign Carlos but he's now injured probably out for the season. Feels like we're being haunted by some wicked evil curse. The club desperately needs good news, a few good signings and a win against West Ham will be a good start.

Mark Albrighton Posted August 24, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) Don’t know if that’s correct, but it certainly feels like it. Edit - it’s not the sixth time we’ve been drawn away, but it is the sixth time since 2002 we’ve played them in the third round of a cup competition. Would love to know the odds of that.
