With the exception of City and United not being drawn together, it was the perfect draw for us.
And at least one guaranteed Championship side in the Semi-Finals.
1983's Semi-Finalists...Arsenal (Tier 1), Manchester United (Tier 1), Brighton (Tier 1), Sheffield Wednesday (Tier 2).
So it's...
ITV4 presenter: "If they do have an Achilles heel, Brighton, it's that they don't score as many goals..."
Any Achilles heel that we did have tonight was kicked off Caicedo's legs at every opportunity.
Some invaluable experience of blood and thunder British Cup football for our youngsters tonight.
Need to get that composure back, then finish the game with a counter when they inevitably throw men forward.
As well as the £50m compensation, just think how good the next manager that Tony's got lined up is going to be?
And then in 6 months time and another £75m from Chelsea later, the one after that?
(It's a no from me.)
The Lewes v Manchester United Cup game could possibly move to a Saturday, but Monday evening seems unlikely.
That said, there isn't a big fixture like Arsenal v Chelsea in the 4 ties, so they may well stay as they are.
On a free weekend for Albion fans, the attendance yesterday at Crawley was...
Reading v Chelsea
Aston Villa v Manchester City
Lewes v Manchester United
Birmingham v Brighton
Albion Women away at a Championship side. Could've been much worse.
If they make it through, both Semi-Finals will be on terrestrial TV.
Lewes at home.
