Kingman Posted August 24, 2022 Author Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) Ironically we play them at Villa Park on Saturday 5th November in the Premier League so will play them twice in 3 or 4 days as per last season Edited August 24, 2022 by Kingman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted August 24, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 24, 2022 Guys I did the maths last year when we got Utd and it was already ridiculous. Now we’re talking like lottery winning odds of this happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaParkAvenue Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Just realised that finishing 7th is the point where you don’t have to play the second round in the league cup. Another reason to aim for 7th instead of 8th then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I can't remember what the exact odds were but it was something like 5 draws in 20 years. So we draw them 25% of the time. We should be drawing them once every 63 times if strictly 'fair', or 1.59% of the time. It's astronomically crazy odds to get them that reguarly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’re in the millions to 1 of this happening but I’ve asked my cleverererer friends to help work out the exact odds. If someone could lay down all the times we drew Man Utd in the 3rd round that would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Unreal. Just as they show signs of life. Loss incoming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I hope the club asks for the proper allocation unlike in the FA Cup when we just got the standard 3,000. Should be getting 8-9,000 for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) Can the club just give us a pie or something as this free cup game promise is about as solid as Liz Truss leadership pledge.
