Because it will help them sleep. Reality can be a bitch sometimes.

I'd say indifferent. We saw some questionable players have good performances and we don't have to worry about a competition that is really little more than a distraction for us.

Can someone tell me why Ole was so angry towards the end of the game? Does he realise hes the manager?

I’m quite gutted we’re out, would have liked to seen more Elanga etc if we got a nice 4th round. But end of the day you can’t win them all.

No one is happy.

Always look for the silver lining

People who are negative suck the energy out of the room

Don't be negative.

Because the pressure isn’t on us to win the Carling Cup and even if we won it we would get little credit anyway.
We need to challenge for league and CL honours. I don’t want to see us wheel out the big players in the semi finals of a third rate cup ala the last few seasons, during a busy period, just because we are playing City again ..
Edit saying that we are a team with 3 new first teamers. Maybe we should have played the first 11 to give them another opportunity to gel together

Some of you guys must be new fans because the United i grew up watching was never one that didn't wanna win a cup, regardless of how small.

Indifferent more like. Though I always get more pissed off the further we go in competition.

Before the game started, I wanted us to tank the game.

I'm glad we're out of this cup.

Really gutted to have lost. With the squad we have we should challenge for everything now we're already out of one of the cups... it's poor.

Also it's not good for the fringe players who won't get as many chances in the first team.

Not happy about the result but was good to see some players do well who could break into the 1st team and help the team progress in areas where we slack!

Some of you are a genuine disgrace.
Thanks for saying it because they are a disgrace. How some people can see this as some sort of positive is so beyond stupid that they surely must be trolling. Massive crowd at OT tonight. Another defeat. Another mediocre performance. Happy days lads!...

We had some embarrassing defeats in the League Cup throughout the years. Fergie used to field some terrible teams in it.

I love the posts I saw of "Ehhhh City will win this cup anyways".

Defeatist attitude from the fans of a club with a defeatist manager.

Lets be honest. The league cup isn't much to shout about. Im only really upset if we lose it the very late stages of it.

Is the forum not having a sufficient meltdown for some of you? Maybe more and more people are just sick of reading it.

I'm not happy, just not fussed. Although it's pretty clear our coaching is not up to scratch when our B team is getting beat by other B teams.

Are weights applied on trophies when determining what club has more trophies than the other?

How can any genuine United fan take pleasure from their team losing? Whoever on here has done exactly that is an absolute embarrassment.
