That is about as plausible as "Off! Off! Off! It's an early bath for you, Mr Cantona!".
It's not about the draw. It's about the fact that, just for once, it's YOU who is left feeling gutted, it's YOU and your fellow fans who are fuming at a perceived injustice. It's YOU whose night has been completely ruined by US, and not the other way round and it's US having the last laugh for once. I can't tell you how great it made me feel sitting on the train back from Thornton Heath and listening to angry home fans ranting to each other about how unfair it was that the greatest footballing display since records began hadn't been rewarded by a victory.
Schadenfreude is a good word for it, though that does mean "shameful joy" and I won't lie: I felt absolutely no shame whatsoever in revelling in your misery.
