Liverpool vs Saints - Tues 23rd Sept 8pm

[Saint_clark]

As soon as Liverpool came out I knew we were next.

FFS 

[CB Fry]

bollocks 

[Saint Scott]

Fuck off

[saintant]

Fuck me - can we get someone other than Liverpool.

[sockeye]

Why do we draw them literally every season FFS?

[saintnick]

Easy 

[BARCELONASAINT]

oh well

 

[RedWillie]

Bugger

[Whitey Grandad]

How can it be a knock out cup competition if some teams are kept away from each other?

[Colinjb]

Fucksake.

[S-Clarke]

Pretty boring, nothing to be excited about there. These cup runs are about playing different teams at their place, not the same dullness.

[Nordic Saint]

We don't get much luck with cup draws, do we?

[jamesfp1]

Focus on the league

[Wsaint]

We had a good run, see you next season.

[macca155]

Rubbish .... that's us out then

The new draw has been created to protect the bestest and ensure they go as far as possible.

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Absolutely fuckin cheating. No wonder this competition is so devalued now.

Third year in a row we're playing those cunts in this competition isn't it? Fuck sake. 

[Whitey Grandad]

"Premier League - corrupt as f**k"

[saintant]

We're never going to win this cup so let's put out a decent side and give them a game then concentrate on the league.

[OneMrsWallace]

Give us a break! Long way to go midweek too. Oh well. 

[Baird of the land]

Learning how the draw is now rigged robbed the league cup of any remaining interest. Hopefully we play complete reserves/b team against Liverpool.

[Harry_SFC]

Play the reserves

But surely we're the bestest?

[trousers]

Can we re-sign Shane Long and Josh Sims for this one?

[Edmonton Saint]

What the fuck is this farce of a draw? Why cant the European teams play each other .  Game is getting madder and madder.

What and give the bin dippers a chance - no way.

[SaintNewForest]

What a crock of shite. 

What a shite system. 

What a crap draw. 

[saintant]

More corrupt than the world cup draw.

[Chez]

Wonder how many nippers they will play? Hopefully we have got it together by then and can give them a decent game.

It really hasn’t. Try reading up on it. Do you think the league met and said right we need to fix this draw?  

[Holmes_and_Watson]

I just hope Will doesn't break down in tears when we win. 

"Not even when I took Rochdale to the Champions League in FM, did I manage to beat the most special club ever >sniff< It's such an honour >sob<" 🙂 

[IOWSaintDaz]

fixed draw system to keep the big sides in until the latter stages, utter joke

[Dr Who?]

Couple of hour trip for me, but not going cannot be arsed with premier league teams! 

[Challenger]

The sooner this lot fuck off to their elite European league the better, done with this corrupt bullshit.

[davefizzy14]

Hopefully we can give them a real tough game and see what happens 😀

Yes

[saintant]

Right then Will....time to show us what you're made of.

[whelk]

Honestly I am staggered how you lot all didn’t notice this last season, it’s UEFA changing format that caused the change. Not some fucking conspiracy. Fuck me Reforn are going ro win the next election

[dsrdorset]

I forgot the draw is fixed. What's the fucking point? Honestly. 

[obelisk]

I still can't see any reason for seeding the so called top teams so that they don't play each other in the 3rd round other than to ensure they have a greater chance of reaching the latter stages. That's just corrupt.

Whatever,  the outcome is the same.

Feel free to explain why a Europe team playing another Europe team causes more of a fixture issue than a Europe team against a non-europe team. 

[aintforever]

Lost interest once I saw the draw was rigged to favour the big sides. Fuck it off and play the reserves.

I remembered it, we were lucky to avoid them all last season at this stage. Still don't understand why they can't all just be away though, seeing as they basically get the added advantage of being seeded in the first place.

Were we still in it at this stage?

[saintnick]

No need to bed wet over this, great draw for Will and the boys, hopefully we’ve clicked by then and we give them a run for their money.. not like we’re going to win the trophy so why not embrace it
