^ You are tired of teams that park the bus and then wish you get us in the draw? scratch

After the draw was delayed by an hour and a half, they released a pre-recorded video. This farce of a sponsorship reaches new lows. :facepalm:

Chelsea vs Bournemouth
Arsenal vs West Ham
Leicester vs Manchester City
Bristol City vs Manchester United

I guess they are just trying to gradually kill this cup.

Wtf? So it means the draw already took place beforehand and recorded on video?

by Jay29 Thu Oct 26, 2017 7:56 pm

They were meant to live stream it on Twitter at 16:00 BST. "Minor technical errors" delayed it until 17:00. 18:00 comes about and still no stream, so they just recorded it and sent it out as a video instead.

In previous rounds, they've had a draw at 4am, drawn the same team twice, and gotten home/away allocations wrong. Laughing

I would be entirely in favor of killing this cup, 2 national cups is far too many imo

by RealGunner Thu Oct 26, 2017 9:22 pm

I rather they turn it into a semi-youth cup (which it kinda is) and have a rule of '6 U21 players' per team.

Sure, that could work too, but giving it equal footing to the FA cup is a bit much IMO

LMAO is this now the third time the draw didn't work out? 1st round and 2nd round draws also went wrong.
How hard can it be?

I never again want to hear fans of PL clubs complain about how many games they have to play ever again.
