fa cup 1/4 final draw

[phips]

So we avoided Chelsea, Spurs, Arse and Rags in the draw and people are still saying it was fixed against us. You really couldn't make it up.

How very dare people have an opinion!

They are entitled to their opinions and I'm entitle to say that their opinions are ridiculous. Hope that helps.

dont you see? its still being fixed but just with the long game in mind. let us get further and then pit us vs Chelsea away during a busy fixture list so we lose.

Fkin man up whiny cunts. This place is becoming intolerable with all the bitching going on

And since when did you become the whiny cunt authority on here ???

[PrezIke]

Wtf? How do we keep getting drawn away? 7 in a row

Seriously.

I also know we got a okay-ish draw again, but we have drawn Prem teams nearly every time for a while now (I know more likely now) except last round, and then it's against one of the best Championship clubs this season.

No one is saying you're not allowed an opinion. That was the point. I hope that helps.

There's a 30% chance of us being drawn against another Prem team in the 3rd round each year.
This year, there was a 39% chance of us being drawn against a Prem team in the 4th round (didn't happen).
This year, there was a 47% chance of us being drawn against a Prem team in the 5th round.
This year, there was a 71% chance of us being drawn against a Prem team in the 6th round.

Overall, there was a 4% chance of us being drawn against a Prem team in each round. That didn't happen. Even if it did, it wouldn't be particularly unusual.

There was also a 0.3% chance of us being drawn away to a Prem team in each round. That's also not particularly unbelievable odds, even if it had have happened.

As for being drawn away 7 times in a row - it's also not overly unlikely. There are (about to be) 5 of us in my household, each with a 2 in their day of birth (2nd, 23rd, 28th, etc.). That's twice as unlikely to happen as us being drawn away 7 times in a row, even though it's not an unbelievable occurrence in and of itself.

Was thinking the same.

Strange

[dazby]

It's been a good draw for us so far. Very happy with it.

PMSL.
The troll doesn't understand the rules just yet.

What a surprise. Someone tell him if he wants to provoke city fans properly, he will at least need to know the basics of English football..

I see cunt features from the swamp has told all and sundry that he will not disrespect the FA cup Man City supposedly did ,by fielding a weak team.

Maybe the cunt should do some back ground check on his own shitty team who dissed the FA cup in the worse way imaginable, by not actually playing in it.

Pork and cheese PIG.

The FA made them do that to help their World Cup bid according to the ghost of Joseph Goebbels.

In the FA Cup and League Cup this season and last, the Blues have been drawn away in the last nine ties, and each time they have been pitted against opposition either from the Premier League or the top six promotion places in the Championship.

In fact, their draw away to promotion-chasing Huddersfield in the fifth round of this season's FA Cup was the ONLY time in those nine draws they have not drawn a Premier League club.

We put the statistics to Manchester University lecturer Kees van Schaik, an expert in probability, and he came up with the incredible result.

He calculated that the chances of being drawn away nine times on the bounce are around 512-1.

And he then worked out that the odds of those nine draws all being against one of the top 26 teams still in the competition comes in at 199-1.

And if you combine the probability of the two, the result is enough to make even the sanest fan a little paranoid. Said Dr van Schaik: “The probability that Man City draws against a top team AND is the away team in all nine below draws is as small as approximately 0.00001, which in terms of odds is, pretty much, one in 100,000."

Wish I'd had a fiver on that.

Blatant.

[Original Dub]

More bad luck.

I'm starting to think we are the unluckiest club ever.

No luck with draws
No luck with officials
No luck with the media.

Maybe if we all say prayers, our luck will change.

Yes, all down to luck sunshine, all down to luck....wait, I'm not replying to NT here am I?

[dazby]

Dude, we are the luckiest club of all. We got the sheik.

[Original Dub]

Is the sheikh more powerful than the media and officials?

Well, I suppose that's the question currently being asked isn't it mate?

[dazby]

Are we being punished for being the luckiest club in the world? Hell yes.

[Mase]

We're being punished because our owner isn't white.
