Local derby (obviously not as important as their 'derby' against Liverpool) with both fans baying for blood - he wouldn't risk playing a team of nobodys against us. Just my opinion.
I think you make a fair point, Baconface is savvy enough to know that the media reaction wouldn't look good, unless he tried to spin it that this is a "small tournament for small minded clubs" or some such. But I'm sure pride would play a role and he wouldn't want us to humiliate his kids.
I'd still rather get smaller teams for as long as possible. We're going to have plenty of tough matches this season, it's not like we need the practise to just make our cup runs more fatiguing! Especially given we are taking it quite seriously.
