Never have any luck in cup draws.

 

[bostonhanwell]

the furthest bloody club left. Typical.

 

[SpiderBee]

6 all prem ties! Can't be fixed then?

When this happens it's "fixed" because TV wanted lots of big games to show, probably

 

[Banana]

Fleetwood got a nice draw however. And so did Arsenal.

 

[WarDamnBees]

How long are we going to have to wait for a home cup draw?

Eternity.

 

[Judio1999]

Sat Oct 31
Man C play Brighton
Also that weekend
Everton play Newcastle

Sods law isnt it

 

[80s Bee]

I hope the team stay up there after Hull rather than having to travel long journeys twice in a few days

They’ll prob be flying

 

[Judio1999]

Only 2 of the 8 matches
Fleetwood
Bradford
Can be played on Tues Oct 28th as so many clubs play Sun 26th in the PL

 

[WarDamnBees]

Would say this sets up well for us, no?

 

[Edmundo]

Carrick is way out of his depth there, don’t think he’ll last the week.

Fixed it for you.

Newcastle v Everton could be played on Thursday night without disrupting any scheduled PL games though because the league fixture is already on the following Monday.

Not sure if they would use Thursday and disrupt any other games so they can spread the games out more?

I don't think Thursday carabao cup games are very common are they. This week's was to avoid Man U and Man C playing on the same night, wasn't it.

Half term sorted, trip to beautiful Hull Sunday, Scarborough for 2 days, ending Sunderland and long drive home, kids don’t know yet!

A 2:45 ko on a Wednesday. That's obviously not going to happen.

Might as well give Arse the Treble now. Then everyone can just play a few games and come back fresh, next August .…

Scarborough have Hebburn away on the Tuesday, if you wanted to get up to Sunderland a night early

American time….

What? Not content with taking the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario, you lot are now after Greenwich Mean Time?

I'm afraid the world has got there first. UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the successor to GMT.

I’m actually on Central Standard Time, so 3:29. I’m out of Birmingham, but the Alabama variety. (You can read my story about how someone ended up a Bees supporter in Alabama in my city’s tab on the Bees Overseas forum)

we've had some crackers recently .

Newport
Grimsby
Brum
Reading

9/10 away is like incredibly unlikely right? That’s between EFL and FA cup. Someone can correct me if this is not equivalent, but if you were to flip a coin 10 times, the odds of getting heads 9 of the ten times is 0.98%, or 10 out of 1,024.

Newcastle and Everton play Monday Nov 2nd so that solves the Merseyside 2 games issue

My guess is

Tuesday
Fleetwood
Bradford

Wednesday
Man C
Sunderland
Liverpool
Fulham
Bournenouth

Thursday
Everton

One game on ITV ( assume Liverpool)
All eight games on Sky

 

[Jay Bee]

yes as I mentioned in post 312

Noted Liverpool and Everton both being at home was another potential reason to need to do this. I originally wrote the tie the wrong way around.

[Judio1999]

Do we want 1 to play 2 so one of them makes the Semis ???

 

[Beelated]

I think all of tonight’s games should be decent games and make good viewing - on catchup, of course.

 

[Judio1999]

Everton play Thursday because Liverpool play tonight

Why couldn't they play on Tuesday? I guess one of them played Sunday. Gah

[aslan]

Bournemouth 1up home to Villa
Brighton 1up away at City

 

[Untouchable]

QF draw

Fleetwood v Everton/ Newcastle
Man City v Bradford
Crystal Palace v Sunderland
Liverpool v Bournemouth

 

[Judio1999]

Can all be played on either Dec 15th or 16th depending on who plays Sun 13th

No issue with UEFA Conference clash now

Liverpool v Bournemouth
Palace v Sunderland
Cant be Tuesday

Fleetwood could be but only if Newcastle win on Thursday

 

[damsgard.szn]

QF draw

Fleetwood v Everton/ Newcastle
Man City v Bradford
Crystal Palace v Sunderland
Liverpool v Bournemouth

palace away

 

[Banana]

palace away

[Judio1999]

Newcastle were on Sunday
As were Liverpool

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Man City always seem to get home draws!

 

[iangi05]

Ya pays ya money..........

 

[Baubaul]

Of course it would’ve been an away game (this would’ve been a sold out away section for sure) and…. WTF City I mean it’s been how many years since they get all the so called easy draws in every single cup
