If bookies took bets on which teams will be drawn together in cup tournaments, they probably wouldn't even quote you a price about us being drawn away to one of the Sky clubs - it really is a nailed-on certainty. Well, as certain as these things can be. If not a Sky club, I wouldn't be surprised if it's Millwall away, a nasty place to visit for any team, and even worse for fans of a club like Spurs. It definitely won't be a 'soft' draw. That's Arsenal's territory.

they do take bets, you can get 9/1 on Sutton being drawn away to Arsenal, Chelsea or Spurs which I think is a good bet

you can get 175/1 on a North London derby and Manchester derby

Really want a decent away day but the trouble with these smaller grounds is that only st holders will get tickets. So this leaves me with only one option...

It's funny how almost every set of fans believe that the draw is rigged against them.

The reality is that Man City have had 5 away draws to PL opposition in a row (Rounds 3-5 last year, and 3-4 this year). They also haven't drawn a team outside the top 2 divisions in either domestic cup for their last 38 ties (I think, can't remember the exact number that I read in an article recently).

Whatever way you slice it, we've had a couple of favourable draws so far. My gut feeling says one of the Manchester clubs but we'll see.

I used to live in Sutton and was elated with their win against Leeds, I just hope they get a big draw to fill their coffers. As for us, I really don't fear any team now. If Poch wants to win the game he will select an suitable team and they can win it. Bring it on!

Anyone but Arse, Chelsea, United or City home or away and I'll be content.
