Not much else is there...

Champions league is usually dominated by Spanish sides... FA cup always at the business end of the season...

The league cup is actually a decent option now to have a "successful" season.

Not a huge fan of the competition... But a cup is a cup. Would love to still be in it.

Of course, no disputing that...it's just the fact that it's not the easy competition it's made out to be, I mentioned before that cup runs depend on a lot of luck i.e the draw, if we have a favourable cup run we could go far in the competition although it's looking increasingly like the team with the best resources and squad depth will go the furthest in the competition.

Yap... Totally agree... Thou the teams did have luck on their side... It's their.... Highly paid bench warmers that made the difference.

But... I guess having the bigger sides in the competition makes getting sponsors easier.

Sigh not even close to a foul, yet Pogba win a free kick and they score. Terrible refereeing there

Not to forget Bristols goal in the first half. Romero runs into a player when he is going to throw out the ball. Drops it. Referee gives Romero the freekick.

Absolute scenes at the end. Great to see a lower league club have a go at a big team - Bristol City were very impressive.

Carabao cup organisers must be weeping with Utd out. Surely they'll want a Chelsea v City final.

Haha. Was about to mention it.

But I guess this cup doesn't mean anything for the United-fans ;)

I must admit I was expecting a late winner from Man U to be honest.

I must pop over to the Bristol City Community forum and see if Spurger King has any thoughts
