S-Platt Posted August 25, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 25, 2022 It's months away yet hopefully we have figured out how to play Gerrard ball by then with some new players. We were skanked by VAR in the cup last year so hopefully we right the wrongs. Representatives for Wellingborough won't give cheap tickets though we know this from last year so would we shift 8K tickets at £30 a pop? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 What's worse is that with our big squad players need game time. Cups were going to be the opportunity for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 well we have two months to be less abysmal, and also united might have european games around then too so might be of no interest to them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A "like" for using the work Skanked as I have not heard that work since school over 25 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Deju vu! This is the 7th time that we have come up against Newton Heath in the League Cup since 1970 (seasons 1970/71, 1975/76, 1992/93, 1993/94*, 1999/00, 2009/10* & 2022/23). We've played them 13 times in the FA Cup since 1905 (1905/06, 1907/08, 1910/11, 1919/20, 1947/48, 1956/57*, 1962/63, 1976/77, 2001/02, 2003/04, 2006/07, 2007/08, 2021/22). * = Finals. Even their armchair fans, must be getting fed up with drawing us out of the hat now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reason to aim for 7th instead of 8th then. Be just our luck if we finished 7th and Manure 8th. That'll fix us not playing them their round.

Demitri_C Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Next season im sticking a bet on us getting utd in a cup competition again. Its almost virtually impossible to draw the same team at that stage away from home as many times as we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
