Carabao Cup Fourth Round draw. At home to Soton.

[Tuna]

I'll take that.

 

Also, tough draw for Arsenal

the consistency that the big 3 or 4 sides get the easiest of draws is pretty remarkable in this competition. 

After last season, I think everyone knows by now this cup is fixed to a degree.

Both cups have had what appears to be dubious draws for the last 2-3 seasons.

Would love to win this and get Forest in the quarters

[The Doctor]

Winnable but not as nice as I'd have hoped, particularly if Everton get through (playing them twice at home in a couple of weeks). Only hope of the top 5 going really is probably Spurs.

[peterborofox]

If it was away I'd be pissed.  

 

Good chance to go through now though 

[Ric Flair]

Why haven't Everton and Southampton played yet?

[pazzerfox]

Arsenal seem to get remarkably easy draws in cup competitions!!

Both Everton and Liverpool played last Sunday, so couldn't play Tuesday - police weren't having them both at home at the same time, so Liverpool played Wednesday.

[Hollyfox]

We're the greatest team, the world has ever seen.

And we're fearless.

Bring it??

[Bert]

Plenty of people moaning about the draw. 

 

Was there really any other tie apart from Forest or Derby that everyone would’ve been buzzing with?

We didn't get them hence the moaning.

[treer]

if the draw is not biased towards getting the the most supported teams into the final them I am a dutchman

Burton at home.

[Voll Blau]

Tin foil hats out I see. Why can't people accept good/bad Cup draws sometimes just do happen?

 

I accept last year's QF draw was dodgy, and Carabao's marketing in general has made this Cup a joke, but surely they'd have kept Liverpool and Chelsea apart if they were that committed to a conspiracy?

[Dr Marco]

Let's trash them in the cup and in the league! Come On City!

[The whole world smiles]

Lot of paranoia  around the draw being rigged.

 

Did you not see Liverpool v Chelsea a few days ago 1st v 2nd in the first round the big clubs enter how do you explain that?

 

Also the premier leauge is such a huge global product imagine the damage to the english game if somthing like that came to light. No way they would risk damaging a product worth hundreds of billions just to keep arsenal away from chelsea in some crappy tuesday night cup.

[Harry - LCFC]

I'd say we're favourites against either of those two, so it's a satisfactory draw for me.

[foxfanazer]

Very winnable whichever we play. Hope we take it seriously 

[Papasmurf]

Ignore me, answered above.

I am going to be in Liverpool that week for work, so I was secretly hoping for an away tie at Everton - so close! But obviously more important we get as far as we can in the competition, so great to be at home. 

[TonyN11]

Good draw for us although Southampton were unlucky not to win this cup a couple of seasons ago - don't know what happened to their manager though. 

[Harry96]

Winnable

 

[Devonfox1884]

Play a strong team we win. Simple.

[CosbehFox]

I think most would say a good season for us is Top 8 with Quarters of both cups.

 

And if you said we had to beat Everton or Southampton at home for a place in the quarters, I’d have it.
