What surprise that UTD were drawn against Coventry City in the semi draw!

It was a 1 in 3 chance so not that implausible.

you would expect a Man City win but the semi-final is 3 or 4 days after they play Real Madrid in the second leg of the CL

Hopefully they'll win.

Good team cov. Was thinking last year was a fluke and they'd never ever get another run at the PL but it seems they're sticking with it

If Coventry aren’t in the final. Then it’ll just be another one lost to the mundaneness of a big six clash again.

A chance for our new manager to be (hopefully) Mark Robins's side Coventry to pull off an unlikely shock result.

I presume the numbers 1-4 for the teams were made public before the draw was made. Didn't hear them myself so just curious.

Don't need to make them public - they are allocated from the order of the fifth round draw.

Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. By public I just meant that was it known beforehand that Coventry were number 1 and Man Utd. were no2 etc. That's all.

You'd rather watch a complete non contest between City and Coventry?

Has to be known to everyone just by knowing the order of the fifth round draw

They only had 4 balls to play with snd when the first 2 are out, some people could guess the other match.
