Cannot believe Man City didn't get one of Fleetwoord, Peterborough or Bradford. Must be saving that for the quarters.

haha I thought that. They usually stick at least 5 goals past a League 2 team at least once in either cup competition per season.

Brighton were fantastic last night.

 

Playing out from the back, but very direct when they needed to be. Great to watch.

Bradford v Peterborough at least guarantees a league one side into the quarter finals. I remember Bradford City reaching the final in 2013 as a league two club.

Another son of a well known ex player making his mark at City

Their owners reaction to the draw was strange. You get who you get.. surely he'd sooner go as far as possible where you'll most likely play a big club anyways.

Gates get shared 50 per cent and they thought they’d finally get a big cheque even if drawn away after just about scrapping past another League One side at home in the last round.

Yeah but that's the problem ain't it, sooner have a pay day than a game you've more chance of winning.

 

It's him showing it publicly too. Even if he wants the money, it's not a good look an owner posting that.

I suppose he thinks if they go out then they wouldn't've had a big game against a premier side or a big pay day.
