Aston Villa lollollol

 

Well really what can you say? Just look at the team sheet shit from today...Cissokho, Okore, Richards, Bacuna, Hutton, Grealish...I would have thought these no hopers would be the first ones jettisoned, yet here they are stinking up the place again.

Someone care to explain how Scunthorpe play either Cardiff or Bristol City when Cardiff are playing Bristol Rovers. 

 

And how do Chelsea end up playing Bristol city or Bristol rovers? 

For some reason, they're seeded. (I don't know if it's due to the fact it's both Bristol clubs and Cardiff?).

 

Anyway, If Bristol Rovers win tonight Bristol City will play Scunthorpe. If Bristol Rovers lose, Bristol City will play Chelsea.

 

I don't quite understand why. It can't be because they're from the same City because what about Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday (both out now of course), Liverpool and Everton etc...?

It's Cardiff's seeding who are playing Rovers tonight, so just a BBC fork up. 

 

Unless im gravely mistake Bristol City are playing Chelsea.

 

EDIT: nonononon wait. I get it.

 

They've done the draw before all the games take place.....meaning they can't work the seadings unless they do it like this. Explanation incoming

 

Chelsea are seeded, Cardiff are seeded, Bristol City are only seeded if a team in the seedings gets knocked out, so they are the "spare" team. Chelsea can't play Cardiff as both guaranteed seeds, so if Cardiff win they get Scunthorpe, Bristol City then play Chelsea, due to the fact Bristol City would lose their seeding to Cardiff. If Bristol Rovers win Bristol City then move up into a seeded position, meaning they play Scunthorpe and Rovers as non seeds play seeded Chelsea.

 

Bit of a mind bender

lollol why have they made it awkward. Why can't they just do the draw like the fa cup. 

 

Put every team in the hat and you can draw whoever. None of this seeding bollòcks.

The thing I've never liked about it and don't like about any football seeding is the constant reseeding every round. Just do one round if you knock a seed out surely you deserve the reward of taking their draw?

The draw is Wednesday night after Stanley/Burnley on Sky.

 

We finally come in this round. Games are the week before Champions League starts.

With this and the Checkatrade coming up Inler must be buzzing.
