There is no such thing as the law of averages! What happened in the past has no influence on the future.

I'd say we have about a 1 in 4 change of beating Plymouth, and maybe a 1 in 4 chance of making in through to Round 3 should we get to Round 2. There are 32 matches in the 3rd round so the chances of drawing Man Utd (home or away) in the third round are 4 x 4 x 32 = 512. 1024 if you specifically want to be at OT. Obviously there is also the chance of making it through the third round and drawing them in the 4th or subsequent rounds. But I'd say it's at least 400/1 that we play Man Utd this year! As for Old Trafford itself that's going to be more like 800/1!


Heh heh! I was right.

I win my bet.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
