Davkaus Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 It annoys me more than it should that we get shoved down to #3 below Bournemouth. Get down to #6 where you belong. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi11 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I'd rather face Man City in Round 3 than face them in the final. More chance of beating them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 17 hours ago, John said: I want the sort of easy run that sees the likes of Citeh, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Newton Heath cruise to the later rounds/final. Boreham Wood away to start and then the lowest ranked club in the draw at home until the semi-final, when we meet the plucky team from the Championship that have defied all expectations to get there (someone like Hull would do). Then someone that we would start as favourites against in the final. I think we are owed that, as we have been waiting to lift this trophy for an 8th time, since I was in my cot and that has been a very, very long time! We used all of our luck in the 2015 run. Every tie was a home draw until the semi finals. I think we have only won one game since and that was a replay over Wycombe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steero113 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 At this point is there any reason for having us in the draw to pretend that it's random. We all know it away vs. United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I've bet on it, it definitely wont happen with my luck, it's the reason I dont bet on Villa because when I used to we always lost. Yes I know the world doesnt revolve around me but just like superstition I just dont do it anymore. Who we draw in the cup though isnt such a big issue so fingers crossed we draw Man U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have only won one game since and that was a replay over Wycombe. Our luck certainly ran out in that final. I think we are still owed big time in this competition, given the number of consecutive away QF games we had in it (1962, 1977, 1980, 1983, 1990, 1992, 1996 & 2000).

The Fun Factory Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 How many times have we reached the quarter finals stage this century? 4 times? Our record is dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I don't think it'll be Man Utd - we draw them once a year in either cup so have had that for this year. I'm guessing an easy draw for 3rd round to lull us into false sense of security, then Man City in the 4th round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our record is dreadful. Except the 2 finals I think was just the year we got to the semi final vs Chelsea. For some reason I think we got to a quarter under O'Leary when Richards scored but that might have been the round before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
