What similarities do you see between all of the opponents United faced in 2 years of cup competitions? Look closer. Yes! These are all PL teams. And people say United gets favors from the FA. I mean WTF! Who is in charge of drawing fixtures? Granted, most of these teams are easy opponents, but given the fact that we did not get to play against any other team in the lower leagues like Bradford City or Derby County is ridiculous.

A lottery system is in charge of picking fixtures. Arsenal's cup opponents this year are Chelsea in the Capital one cup, Spurs in the FA Cup and Bayern Munich in the champions league. I don't see them complaining.

^Your logic: let's change the topic to some completely different team, whose situation in no way shape or form even resembles a 2-year domestic cup competition of drawing PL opponents, to tell others to stop complaining. I can't believe the nerve of some of these trolls, especially ones whose team has played the likes of Wigan, Leicester and Blackburn this term.

You asked \"Who is in charge of drawing fixtures\". I told you its randomly decided and provided you evidence based on another team. Since I can only assume that you were never taught logical reasoning or probability in your school, I can maybe provide you links to show you how events with low probability can occur in a set of a large number of events such as cup fixtures of many teams over a long run. But lets go on the CONSPIRACY THEORY MODE AND LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT.

\"Next Opponent: Sunderland (Capital One Cup)\"

Wow genius. City, West Ham and Sunderland were the only teams remaining in the competition, did you expect to be drawn against a non PL team?

oh and you were drawn against Coventry City for the FA Cup next round. I guess its the FA's fault you got knocked out.

The only idiot is you. You took a rant and completely turned it into a conspiracy theory on my part. If you're too serious and can't tell that I was merely making the point of how much of a shi*** luck we've been having in terms of these draws, then you are the one who obviously was not taught logical reasoning and is probably a socially inept individual. I was talking about the domestic league cups only, which are unseeded when the PL team fixtures are drawn. But no, you had to go into retard mode and talk about Arsenal, who got 2nd in their UCL group, and who have to go against Bayern Munich in the next round. And yes, thanks for letting me know that better teams make it farther in a competition Sherlock. Now, if you're really in need of talking to someone about pointless conspiracy theories, I am sure @tiki_taka is your guy (or girl).

I think this is the 1st time I seen Fred get angry.

^Holy shit, Christian Bale looks so messed up with that beard and hair combo!

Take it easy :) Why saying to Fred that he is a troll ? His comment was not offensive and actually popular, he never told you to stop anything, credit for him to stay calm and respectful.
If you want your team to face lower leagues clubs, than wish relegation to them. They will play all the year against weak teams...
Some fans are dreaming to see their teams qualify to CL and face the best clubs of Europe, and you are complaining about facing Norwich, swansea and Stoke city ? Are you ok ?

I disagree.

We've pulled Bayern for the past two CLs and I don't see anyone at the Arsenal calling foul. But I understand your frustration--trust me, I do.
