Ian Wright Faces Criticism Over FA Cup Draw Style

Arsenal legend Ian Wright faced backlash after conducting the FA Cup draw where he intentionally avoided looking at the balls to maintain impartiality. Fans joked about his technique, comparing it to Stevie Wonder. Despite the criticism, Wright defended his approach emphasizing the importance of fairness in the draw.

He expressed reluctance to repeat the experience, citing the pressure and scrutiny involved. The draw ultimately paired Manchester City against Chelsea and Manchester United against Coventry. This incident recalls Rod Stewart’s memorable cup draw in 2017, where his unconventional style also sparked amusement among fans.
