League Cup - Semi-final draw

[Damien]

Numbers:

1. Arsenal
2. Man City
3. Bristol City
4. Chelsea

Edit:

Chelsea v Arsenal
Man City v Bristol City

Ties are two legs, so Bristol will be home second leg.

 

[Cliche Guevara]

Of course it is!!!

 

[charlenefan]

Fecking new City would get Bristol, seriously when is their luck going to run out?

 

[Wiltord02]

Balls.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

The football Gods doing their thing. City v Bristol.

Us being utter shit is luck?

 

[Heinzesight]

Two piss-easy games and can rest player when it could’ve been two gruelling games against Arsenal or Chelsea...just great.

fecks sake.

They got Leicester and we got the championship side in the quarters

 

[Eboue]

They got Leicester and we got the championship side in the quarters

 

[Fener1907]

Well, Bristol City just saved us from a defensive masterclass shitshow for 180 minutes.

 

[whatwha]

couldn't have gone any other way.

Complaining about City drawing the team that just knocked you out, after City played an away game to a PL side. You couldn’t make it up. Lucky buggers, you.

 

[Dumbstar]

Bernardo Silva to get another couple of goals for his confidence. City will have seen how to play them now so Bristol have no surprise effect to call on.

 

[yumtum]

City have a harder game than they would against us!

 

[Mrs Smoker]

Fair draw. Tough for 75% of all teams included.

 

[whatwha]

Well, Bristol City just saved us from a defensive masterclass shitshow for 180 minutes.

Good point. Two games of Jose Utd against City would have been torture most likely.

 

[AshRK]

Won't blame if Bristol just roll over. Today was their day and they gave their best.

 

[Classical Mechanic]

They got Leicester and we got the championship side in the quarters

It is much harder for a lesser side to to beat a bigger side over two legs.

 

[alsabi]

Quite surprising, when you consider the number of trophies United have won, that we've only successfully defended a cup competition once in our history.

Prediction

Semi-Final

Chelsea vs Man City

Bristol City vs Arsenal

Final

Chelsea vs Bristol City

Winner: Bristol City
​

Hopefully, that'll distract everyone from our embarrassing game against Bristol City.

When City could have got Arsenal or Chelsea but didn't yes City are lucky

They're buying these decisions. Tin foil hat, sure. And I know it's unpopular way to think, and I accept that, but just way, WAY too much is going their way.

FFP should be all over them, they're not. Every decision goes their way. Every draw they get is absolutely the most piss-easy option it could be.

Let's not forget the first draw for both sides too: United at home to Burton, City away to West Brom.

 

[Borden]

Now watch them piss all over the team that just deservedly beat us.

 

[stubie]

Bristol City have just saved Mourinho from another Pep raping!

 

[duffer]

Chelsea v City in the final then.

Falls at the first hurdle as Bristol are playing Man City and Chelsea are playing Arsenal in the semis.

you're my favourite poster on here, keep it up mate.

 

[AshRK]

Please let us not act like city fans themselves with all the conspiracy theories. We lost today, let us move on.

they literally had a dodgy penalty called against them in injury time YESTERDAY

Right and the second tie was City at home to Wolves and United away to Swansea what's your point?

 

[Anduin]

City just need to finish their chances better than we did tonight. Despite us being knocked out, we could've scored about four and Bristol were hardly decent defensively. City will murder them at the Etihad and send the reserves down to Ashton Gate. Only Chelsea can stop them now.

Yep, tin foil hat that, last round we had Leicester away, so you honestly think those balls are hot our something?

 

[Fener1907]

Pep's so fond of his possession that he probably had control of the balls in the draw. Probably warmed them up and got Sterling to slip them back in at the last minute. Crafty bugger.

Can just taste the salt in some posts.

Good job you’re in the minority.

That was embarrassing.

 

[BobbyManc]

...precisely. My point is, the draw is clearly not fixed in any side's favour, and if any team's fans are going to bemoan another sides luck, it's pretty bizarre that it's United.

 

[TinFoil]

Knew they'd get bristol haha

Gotta make sure pep wins everything

City notoriously get the worst possible draws, group of death almost yearly in the champions league, no team outside the top two leagues in something like 50+ domestic cup draws now (!). Yes this season we've had better luck with the last couple of draws with Basel & now Bristol - but even the FA Cup we have the hardest draw of any PL team. Even the last round you look at Arsenal/Chelsea/City/United & we had easily the hardest match.

It's a nice change to finally get a couple of lucky draws, but to suggest these 2 draws make up for the other bits of crazy bad luck is a little laughable.

I know we're all a bit biased to our own club, but you mate are on another level.
