Newcastle's progress over the past year has been remarkable, but this season's Cup draws have been seriously disappointing, with Newcastle falling into the Group of Death in the UEFA Europa League, and then being drawn against Manchester City in the 3rd round of the EFL Cup, and then being drawn against reigning champions Manchester United in the round of 16 after a few years of hard work! However, some Newcastle fans have exploded conspiracy theories, alleging that former Premier League players were involved in the draw!
The draw for the 4th round of the EFL Cup was televised live, with presenter Emma Saunders, Zloty legend Lennon and former Newcastle star Goodman in charge of the draw. 57-year-old Goodman, who played for Newcastle's arch-rivals Newcastle for three years, drew Newcastle's "No. 16", but fans noticed that he was looking at the box of balls before the draw, suspected of searching for the "No. 16."
