The two luckiest football sides in the world.
We all know about City's ridiculously easy draws in domestic cup competitions but England have also been extremely lucky for as long as I can remember in drawing some of Europe's minnows every qualifying cycles it seems.
But back to City ... It's becoming a bit suspicious really. In fact if the fa cup draws wasn't televised you'd be pretty much convinced that it's rigged for City

Amazing that a club which hasn't finished outside the top 4 for the last decade gets drawn against a team that is currently below them.

Yes England very lucky to always draw a team from pots 4, 5 and usually 6.

It's amazing how often a top seeded team gets easier teams to play against in seeded competitions

Who would have thought.
Obviously not the OP.

What I don't understand is why the FA are so biased in our favour when awarding us penalties, and so biased against us when picking our FA Cup opponents.
All we're asking for is some consistency in their bias.

It’s blatantly obvious City are paying people off, seems the norm with them.

UEFA I can sort of see, I don't buy that with the FA though, I think it's just a very lucky streak.

England got an easy draw throughout the World Cup but still achieved a world record for most defeats at a world cup. Impressive.

Got an easy draw against some diddy team in the Euros too, Barry. Totally rigged.
