    Crazy isn't it. I used to get annoyed when we were midtable for about a decade and still put out half a team for a cup match.

    What's the point in football if all you're focused on is existing. I'd prefer to win the league Cup and get relegated.

    I still haven't forgiven Pochettino for resting players in a 5th round tie at Sunderland in 2014 when we were marooned in 8th on our own and the route to the final would have been Hull and Sheffield United :(

    Nottingham fans going to Exeter on a Tuesday night is the true magic of the cup.

    Palace v Millwall would be a bit lively.

    You aren’t missing anything not going there. The town nor the ground.

    Preston will be in this league long after we cease to exist. Destined to finish 9th-15th forever.

    Swear United get a disproportionate number of not easy but exceedingly dull home ties against small Prem teams and the most boring second division teams (Reading, Watford). City never seem to be away despite having just won away.

    Brighton at home probably means a 5am kick-off too.
