Is there any point watching the Cup Draws?

I remember the day of the draw, try and watch it and it's usually the wrong time or something. Any advice??

Sometimes you miss it if there's no other news alongside it. It can often skip so you just get the aftermath. Should be able to catch it 80% of the time though.

I always miss League Cup draws because they're on a match day, and they seem to happen during the match, or at least close enough to it the game doesn't stop for the draw. I imagine it'd be the same for any draw that occurs on a matchday. I have no problem catching the ones that aren't, though, mainly because I always read all my mail as soon as it comes in...

In my blyth spartans game, i find it really quite exciting watching the cup draws on automatic.

I always get excited when a big name comes up at home! Unfortunately i tend to be at home against a small team but one i don't have much chance of beating

What completely p***** me off is that I always get the matches to line up perfectly agianst whom I'm playing in the league if they're still in the competition.

So imagine the cup game, to be played in a month, comes after (or before) the game against TEAM X. Who do I get in the cup?

TEAM X, of course...

Happens to me quite frequently, bad if you lose the game before hand as the team have low confidence, and you play the team who beat you who will have a high one.

I only watch the draw if I get to the third round or higher hoping for a Premier side away

Man Utd - yes yes yes yes yes -- bugger
Chelsea - yes yes yes yes yes -- bugger
Liverpool - yes yes yes yes - bugger

Home to Darlington

Playing as Liverpool I've had this happen about 5/6 times. All in the later stages and always against a team I'm playing in the league at the same time [I actually played Arsenal 4 times on the trot

You stand a chance then. Beat them and more money and fingers crossed.
