Would be even better if they stopped European teams from competing in this tournament full stop, to be honest

 

They should at least have drawn the “normal” way first and potentially reduced the number of the lowest league teams available to play the top premier teams.
This type of draw is just bollox

 

Completely ruins the whole competition.

 

I actually think it might be a good tie.

 

Oh, well that nails it as a tie to write-off already

 

That would clearly be the better way of dealing with the third round clashing with European group games. Rather than faff around trying to fit around their schedules, just don't have them compete.

 

Haha I’ve been saying to some of my mates at work who support ‘big 6’ clubs that I wish they’d all succeeded with the euro super league now, would be so much more entertaining for the rest of the country not having them involved on any level!!

 

I'm not saying we'll win but I'm quite looking forward to how Still approaches this game.

 

Still fuming. Literally no f*cking logic behind why they do that.

 

8-1-1 is my guess.

 

I don't like how the draw is done but you're more likely to knock out a big team at this stage then the QF or SF.

 

The big European boys put a second string team out anyway, so why pussyfoot around them.

 

Didn’t we get Liverpool last time we were in the Championship?

 

Because they'll still want the income that comes with it.

 

3rd season in a row we've drawn them in a cup competition, so yep.

 

I say the same thing every year. This competition would be so much better if teams in Europe didn’t take part, and the winners get the Comference League spot.

 

Yeah, played their u21s and lost 3-0 I think

 

I don't mind drawing Liverpool away in any equal anyone can play anyone draw

 

Yeah, FA Cup I think.

 

I see Grimsby got Wednesday. They could keep this run going!
