- 0:05SPEAKER_00: By me, Felicity Thow.
- 0:09SPEAKER_00: If you're a football fan, you'll know the feeling of Cup Draw Day.
- 0:12If you are not a football fan,
- 0:14but live with one,
- 0:15you'll have no doubt endured this spectacle.
- 0:18The day a bag of small numbered balls are released into an
- 0:21empty goldfish bowl on
- 0:22SPEAKER_00: live TV,
- 0:24SPEAKER_00: agitated by a one-time footballing great,
- 0:27SPEAKER_00: now retired player,
- 0:28SPEAKER_00: and pulled out one by one,
- 0:30SPEAKER_00: matching each team with another,
- 0:32SPEAKER_00: one to play at home,
- 0:33SPEAKER_00: the other away.
- 0:35SPEAKER_00: Two weeks ago,
- 0:36the FA Cup fifth round draw was held and it resulted in the tie
- 0:40Newcastle United
- 0:41SPEAKER_00: versus Manchester City.
- 0:43SPEAKER_00: The reason this stands out is that my team,
- 0:45SPEAKER_00: Newcastle United,
- 0:47have been pulled out of that bloody hat to face Manchester City
- 0:50no less than five
- 0:51SPEAKER_00: times in the past six years across the two English Cup competitions.
- 0:56Manchester City are,
- 0:57and allow me the greatest of understatements here,
- 1:00a pretty good team.
- 1:02SPEAKER_00: A concerning opponent.
- 1:03SPEAKER_00: Not my first choice team to face every single cup journey we embark on.
- 1:09SPEAKER_00: In the event any of the current Newcastle United squad are reading this,
- 1:12SPEAKER_00: I believe in you lads,
- 1:14SPEAKER_00: and you can do it,
- 1:15SPEAKER_00: but get back to penalty practice.
- 1:18SPEAKER_00: For the rest of you,
- 1:19let me tell you that drawing this tricky opposition team in the
- 1:21cup sparks some
- 1:22SPEAKER_00: pretty major fear and frustration.
- 1:25SPEAKER_00: Fear not so much of the unknown,
- 1:28rather what is absolutely known from 100 million iterations of
- 1:32this game in the
- 1:33SPEAKER_00: past six years.
- 1:34SPEAKER_00: Approximate values.
- 1:36Frustration that the situation we wanted on graduating from one
- 1:39stage of the cup to
- 1:40SPEAKER_00: the next,
- 1:42SPEAKER_00: drawing a team for example,
- 1:43SPEAKER_00: who has not won the entire league four times since 2020,
- 1:47SPEAKER_00: has once more not transpired.
