Newcastle fan reaction to draw: “Talk about bad luck”

This season is the first time Newcastle have gone past the FA Cup third round since 2019/20. @thomas hammond__ expressed his disappointment at Newcastle’s cup draws in all competitions this season.

They have already drawn the likes of PSG, Borussia Dortmund and Man City in the UEFA Champions League and Carabao Cup.

PSG, Dortmund and Milan in the UCL Group Stage.

Man City, Man Utd and Chelsea in the Carabao Cup.

4 consecutive away draws in the FA Cup, with the latest being City at the Etihad.

Talk about bad luck, what a joke. #NUFC

Other Newcastle fans were similarly frustrated with the FA Cup quarter-final draw. Over on X.com (formerly Twitter), @hillyon said “At this point, it would have been more of a surprise if we didn’t get City in the next round. Such cursed luck this year.”

@GingerPirlo_ listed the world-class opponents Newcastle have faced in the cup competitions this season, stating “this isn’t normal in anyway shape or form. Not even for Newcastle Utd.”
