Well, somebody's got to say it...
What odds against City drawing Wrexham....?
Impossible (thankfully). They’re in the Northern bracket and we’re in the Southern.Quote:

A side from above us in the pyramid would be perfect and get some excitement for us to cause a giant killing. Milwall maybe?Quote:

Cheltenham or Exeter would be just fine.
It'll be AFC Wimbledon away and those who go to the league game there won't be allowed a ticket.
Bring on Swansea Town at home.Quote:

Weird to look at this list and consider we are now two divisions behind the likes of Bournemouth, Brentford, Brighton and Fulham. Any of those four could now be considered an attractive cup draw when not so long ago they would have been regarded as bog-standard Championship opponents.
You see, those clubs have been run well, and apparently, that's not we've been going for these past 5 or so years.Quote:

The ladder is being pulled up more and more at every rung given how hyper-capitalist and ruthless the game has become, which is why relegation now is so troublesome. Wrexham and Stockport are exceptions to a prevailing rule.Quote:

If he had done it differently and we had become an established PL team such as Bournemouth, Brighton etc, we would probably have a full house most games now, all donned in red.
I honestly can’t say if I’d have abandoned them for the rest of my life, or in time eaten some humble pie and started to take an interest again.
I’ll never know now, and obviously can’t speak for yourself and others who took that stance.
