Only surprise is we're at home to be honest.

I see all other cartel 6 get nice easy draws - I'm sure there is no fix though

Newcastle have drawn City in a cup competition in 2021, 2023, 2024, 2025 and now 2026.

I mean, I know that would account for semi's where the chances are massively increased but still 4 years in a row. 5 years out of 6. . . come on.

This is from Twitter.

Did some research. Not much to do. But in Howe's full seasons here, we've had 29 cup draws. (2 leg draws counting as 1 for this)

20 of them have been all PL ties (at the time of the draw)

9 of those 20 have been against the Sky 6.

I mean - mind boggles that we're meant to think this is genuine chance.
