Brighton factually.....
Chelsea, Man U or Man C away, get us out asap, don't need the distraction.

Eh how can playing a game of football, be a distraction from eerrr playing football....

I never bought into this the cup is a distraction lark, it's their job, they get paid a lot of money I am sure a good cup run is good for moral, we need that in buckets at the moment.

A few might be hoping for City or United (or Wigan!) away, as its the Groves v Eubank fight in Manchester that Saturday night.

I believe there is a 63% chance they will be kept apart but I may be wrong (12 * 12 * 12) / (15 * 14 * 13)

Isn;t it

12/15 * 11/14 * 10/13? (i.e. 48%) and isn't that figure just for one team not to face the other three?


Edit - chance of us drawing Hull away = 100%

trevor is right, it works like:

team 1 not playing team 2, 3, or 4 = 12/15

team 2 also not playing team 3 or 4 = 12/14

team 3 also not playing team 4 = 12/13

put those all together and you get (12*12*12)/(15*14*13) = 63%
