We draw each other far too often for it to be random. 3rd time since 2011.

Ah. The two 'hot balls' it is then.

Excellent draw, expect the lads lucky enough to get tickets to this will be mad for it. We can unleash El Pistolero on them and watch as he wreaks havoc once again!

Prefer these kind of ties compared to playing the lower league clubs. Suarez's first game to be able for selection as well.

Ah crap was hoping we'd get an easier draw for the next round, at Old Trafford it take it?

And what exactly is the benefit for anyone, anywhere, to have us play each other this early in the competition? Doesn't benefit us. Doesn't benefit United. Doesn't benefit the TV companies if one of the two biggest TV draws goes out early...

More people will tune in for Man Utd vs Liverpool in round 3 than Liverpool vs Huddersfield or Utd vs Leicester in round 4.

Not that I'm trying to say that its a fix or anything, I'm just saying how TV works

Just wish it was at Anfield.

Good thing I guess is that they play City on the Sunday. City drawn at home to Wigan too so one of them will have to play on Tuesday night, hopefully that's us.

....And! they want one of the bigger teams out so a smaller team like a Wigan or an Everton can win it.

Alans gone soft. He can't tell his moon landings from his Knots landings these days.

Fantastic draw this.I believe outside the final in 2003 it`s the first time we`ve drawn the mancs in the league cup since the eighties?

That's a surprise considering how successful we've been in the competition and we've played the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City and Tottenham in recent years.

Made me smile that draw. Can't get more difficult than that, but we can beat them.

Bit of a shit draw, but win on Sunday and we'll get ready for this. And anyways haven't we got a 100% away win record for the last couple of years? When did we last lose away? 2009?

We lost there 3-1 in our pomp under Kenny didn't we? Houghton scored a consolation. Think that must be the last time we were drawn against them. The final in 2003 is up there as one of my favourite days out to watch us though!

Can't wait for this! Can't get on the ladder for league away games, but sorted for the cups.

Since we're already playing them on Sunday this isn't a big deal really. Probably better for us, learn a bit about Mr Moyes setup because i haven't bothered to look at it in the slightest.

Not sure, but I'd imagine you'd need at least one league cup away from the past 2 seasons. West Brom, City, Stoke, Chelsea, Exeter, Brighton.

It will start at:

Stoke,Chelsea,City & WBA

Then any 3, Then any 2, Then any 1, Then any STH's, then if not sold out, all Members

I'd through Exeter in there to. Prob 4 from any of them 5 to start.

So Felliani will be Cup tied. Moyes won't be happy with Martinez for that.

Only just seen this. Hilarious. Suarez has to play!

Schmidt · « **Reply #153 on:** August 28, 2013, 11:25:44 pm »

Almost seems fixed with it being Suarez's first game back, but don't care regardless as it gives us a chance to beat United twice early in the season.

There's a very real possibility that we could be directly responsible for the former Everton/current United manager getting sacked before Christmas.

Well, we all saw last night how an easy home draw can go; we often seem to make real hard work of it. That said, I never fancy playing 'them'. Gives Moyes a bonus chance to finally beat us, but fuck 'em, lets have it.
