For the record i don’t necessarily see United at home as an overly tough draw. I would probably see an away game at the likes of Brighton, Villa, Newcastle etc as tougher.

At least you can spin on your conspiracies that City always get’s the easy draw hehe.

Nah, Salford City is above Morecambe and Accrington Stanley in the League 2 table. Spurs got a non-league side, but at least that's on the road

I think City’s draws speak for themselves :)

Arsenal got the hard draw here, but don’t think it’s unfair too say they’ve had, one of the easiest (if not the easiest) Carabao Cup draw, so that’s not too shabby. Carabao Cup is better than FA Cup (besides the ridiculous two legged semis) nowadays anyway.

And for the record I have spoken with a former player that asserted that even the players think the draws are rigged. That being said, I’m at peace. Doesn’t mean they are rigged of course but funny that some professionals think they are too

Le Tissier doesn't count

On the one hand - of course players think it's rigged. On the other hand, draw-rigging is rampant in football so it's not a huge reach

Yeah, a player thinking that it's rigged is no different than a fan thinking it is rigged

To my mind it's more likely because they live in a much tighter bubble that is really fertile ground for that kind of thinking
 
Quarterfinals time! Arsenal gets Palace just days before a league matchup, Newcastle hosts Brentford, Liverpool head back to St. Mary's Stadium where they struggled recently, and we get another dysfunction derby for United, who head to London to take on Spurs.

Reportedly LFC is going to be resting the majority of their starters. Will probably be a similar lineup to the one that played West Ham earlier in league cup but with a worse defense.
 
LFC’s three best prospects on the lineup card. Trey Nyoni is starting in midfield. On the best is 16 yo Rio Ngumoha who notably came over from Chelsea during the summer. Jayden Danns is back on the bench too after injury plagued season

I really don’t get football sometimes. How can Jesus suddenly look like prime Ronaldo after missing sitters for over a year now?

Eddie scores ofc. Bound to happen.
