Just about the worst draw to get :(
No. Possibly the best draw other than Oxford and Colchester. Man City would have been the worst draw possible as they don’t have a reserve team.

Good point well made

If there is a request to move it to 6 Jan we should tell them to duck off. We are not indispensable pawns to be used for their world domination. Anyway that’s the weekend of FA cup third round.

I really am sick of these clubs moaning about being in so many competitions and it not being fair - isn't that why you spend gazillions on a squad.

If you don't want to play then drop out - its that simple.
I bet when the winter break kicks in the same clubs will be dragging their squads all around the world for "warm weather training" playing a game in Dubai etc

Quite. The one that gets me is foreign managers moaning about the crowded festive fixture schedule in England.

Yes it’s a bit barmy but it’s tradition here, we quite like it and you’re paid a fortune to deal with it.

Aren't the semi finals the week of Jan 6th

We should refuse all date changes, it's simply not our problem

They conceded five to an Arsenal side that showed 11 changes. We'll batter them.

Zero chance. We will have to beat Liverpool and two of Man City/Man Utd/Leicester to win the cup. Ffs.
Zero chance? Get a grip man.

I was replying to the post before mine, chuckles. Saying there is zero chance of us getting a bye, not zero chance of us getting through.

I don't disagree with the gist of your post, but they're not allowed to drop out, are they?  I'm sure some already would have done if they were permitted to do so.

If we play on the correct date - then Jurgen and his staff wont be their!

But the game will be moved.

Quite. The one that gets me is foreign managers moaning about the crowded festive fixture schedule in England.

Yes it’s a bit barmy but it’s tradition here, we quite like it and you’re paid a fortune to deal with it.

Not only that.  The competitions aren't designed to enable one team to win them all.  Man City would probably give up their treble for the European Cup.

However did we all cope in the Simod Cup days?

And funnily enough we were the team they should have played then as well.

Manure pulled/dropped out before they'd kicked a ball in that season's competition. There'll be triple back flips from the administrators of this to keep Liverpool happy.

I don’t think it’s that bad a draw. Klopp is already whining about it and about dropping out. Which they won’t and the team they do put out will be mainly a reserve line up. Dean will take this much more seriously. I’d much rather this lot at VP than Man City or Man U.
