Spam look like they will scrap and time waste their way through this to the final.
The difference in standard between this and the City/Madrid CL tie last night really is a chasm!.

Too bad they're staying up. Them playing the 46 game Championship Schedule plus the Europa League would be hilarious.

Fair play to West Ham for taking the competition seriously.

If only we had this attitude rather than we are better than this level.

Also Jose taking Roma to Europa League final after winning this competition last season….

Yes, instils a winning mentality. It’s why City / Jose always placed emphasis on winning the league cup, why Jose was so emotional about winning the ECL last season. Massive steps for any team’s mentality to get over the line.

My personal view. We’ve not won a trophy in over a decade. We’re not above any competitive trophy at this stage.

100% agree. Winning a trophy so early in the season (league cup) sets you up nicely for the rest of it when you are able to fight on all fronts.

Bit like the conference league, we could have gone out and been the first ever winners of the trophy.

Now we potentially face West Ham of all clubs giving it the big one….jesus

💯 the ‘first’ one is always the hardest.

We shouldn’t be turning our nose up at any of them.

That’s why it was so gutting when we went out of the fa cup this season as we had a real chance of getting to the final.

Did Wigan ever play in Europe after the FA cup and relegation year?

Yes, straight into the groups and finished bottom against Ruban Kazan, Maribor and Zulte Waregen.

Can't say I'm loving the idea of West Ham getting a trophy and not even having the decency to get relegated on top of it.

Watching all these dubs, some several financial runs below us sincerely competing and fighting for trophies.

And thinking back on the numerous years we've binned various competitions off altogether, like we're too good for them.

It's depressing tbh.
