The League Cup

[Bobbins]

Fucking made up with that, so rare for us to get a kind route to the final.

I genuinely feel with Jose in charge that we have a great chance of winning any one-off game, and I'd back us against either of the Manchester sides in the final - should we get past Brentford of course.

I am so fucking excited at the chance of actually, finally winning something. Come on Jose, it's your favourite cup and the year ends in 1...

A bye, Chelsea (h), Stoke (a), Brentford (h). Wow, that’s a very Arsenal like draw. Brentford won’t be a walkover, but we won’t get a better chance of reaching the final. If we do progress, the final will be really tough, but I wouldn’t want to be heading into that match under any other manager. COYS!

 

[SirNiNyHotspur]

We did draw Chelsea..

Exactly, small clubs whole way through...

 

[Mate]

At least if we lose there's one person we know who will be happy

 

[Trix]

The best thing about a home draw is whatever happens at least we won't be playing solely in front of opposition fans.

 

[Shadydan]

Our luck in draws has been so refreshing good past year...

It's been incredible, between this comp, drawing Marine and the Europa draw against Wolfsburger, nice to have some luck for a change.

 

[Trix]

Bet the Mancs are bitter as fuck after that draw.

Isn’t the game in like 10 days? Nobody getting in anytime soon sadly

Yeah but had we been drawn away in Manchester...........

They're in tier 4 so it wouldn't have made a difference anyway.

What a dick. Wish we had never of signed him.

I can't believe we once had Keane, Berbatov, Defoe and Bent at the same time. On paper it should have led to so much more. Bent peaked at Charlton really but his fall since has been similar to that of Charlton as well. I think his dislike for us largely comes down to the Sandra dig. He seems to have had a grudge against us ever since.

 

[allpaths]

Could have done with Brentford in the final really.

Was also hoping for marine in the fa cup final as well, bit unlucky imo. We'll just have to make do.

 

[TropicalYid]

We will win against Brentford. I cant see anything else. The guys and Jose knows very well that a final is up for grabs. We cant fuck it up.

Done abit of digging there so the champions league semi finals are played in the 27th and 28th April so fingers crossed city get to them because they will have one 3 days after the final we all know he is resting players if that’s the case

Are these one leg ties too?

Pretty sure the EL semis will be the same week then, so we could be in a very similar position (albeit with us potentially having a fixture on the following Thursday should we progress.

I agree though, with all the trophies City have won in recent years they would certainly prioritise the CL over the EFL cup and so the fact this final has been moved from February may well be of benefit to us.

Nice read about Marine. Seems like a nice club.

 

[Tucker]

I don’t think we need to worry about City resting players or not etc. They have two quality players in every position.

Apart from when they served @Gardham90 an undercooked burger.
