In the past year, Newcastle's performance has been like a transformation, but this season's cup luck doesn't seem to be so lucky. They were drawn in the so-called "Group of Death" in the Champions League, and met Manchester City in the third round of the EFL Cup. After their successful breakthrough, they were unlucky to meet the defending champions Manchester United in the round of 16, which made people sweating! However, some Newcastle fans have come up with conspiracy theories that former Premier League players were involved in the draw.
The draw for the fourth round of the EFL Cup was broadcast live on television and hosted by Emma Saunders, the legendary Lennon and former Newlands star Goodman. The 57-year-old Goodman, who played for Newcastle's arch-rivals Newlands for three years, was the man who drew Newcastle's 'Wave 16'. Strangely, fans noticed him staring at the ball in the box before the draw, as if he was deliberately looking for the "16" ball.
