Carabao Cup 2022/23

[Raw]

Considering our schedule, two games v Forest sounds a hell of a lot better than two v Newcastle

 

[arthurka]

We're not one organism, you know? You're free to care as much or little about it as you like

Thanks Gazza it helps to know that. Free to do whatever got a nice ring to it.

 

[Red in STL]

Alright, no excuses not to reach the final, no disrespect to Forrest but their first choice keeper won’t even be able to play.

Is that the case in the league cup? I know it is in the PL

 

[bosnian_red]

So Newcastle vs United in the final eh.

 

[BelfastRed2021]

I thought it was the Milk Cup!

The milk cup is the youth tournament held in Northern Ireland every year.

 

[2 man midfield]

Unlucky for Henderson. Gets his team through to the semis then has to sit the next two out.

 

[JB7]

Fantastic away day, Forest. Great draw.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Please, for football, don't let Newcastle win a trophy this early.

ABN?

 

[ayushreddevil9]

Ole must be wondering wtf he did to deserve the tough draws we had under him

 

[Skills]

Would have preferred playing Newcastle over two legs but oh well. Still a good draw.

2 tough games in Jan though. Hopefully against Forest we end the tie in the first leg

 

[Frank Grimes]

That was a very fortuitous night for United. Come on!!

 

[Judas]

Imagine existing in a world where Newcastle have won a trophy more recently than us

 

[always_hoping]

I'll take that. Thanks to Henderson for that.

 

[Devil81]

Brilliant news, let's hope Southampton can do Newcastle as well.

@TheReligion I didn't miss the forum the thread was in. Was trying to merge it with the footy forum thread but moses deleted the whole thing

 

[AltiUn]

It is.

 

[George The Best]

A Utd v Newcastle final would fill a 200,000 seat stadium.

 

[Samid]

Would have preferred playing Newcastle over two legs but oh well. Still a good draw.

I don't get this. We don't need 2xNewcastle right after City/Arsenal fixtures and just before 2xBarcelona.

 

[Gazza]

Your location says "Rectum" so I am sure you're an expert on nice rings, mate.

[DJ_21]

Us and Newcastle will be a decent final! End to end game

 

[AltiUn]

Also hoping with these extra fixtures fatigue might start creeping in at St James’s.

 

[Dan_F]

Nice. I’m Nottingham already Tuesday/Wednesday that week. I’ve no chance of finding a ticket but I’ll be trying.

Anyone know if they announced if the game is on the Tuesday or Wednesday?

 

[Sandikan]

Unlucky for Henderson. Gets his team through to the semis then has to sit the next two out.

Least he'll get other chances.

Wycombe had Anthony Grant on loan from Chelsea the year we made it to the league cup semis against them in 06-07ish.
He had to miss what would have been his career highlights and never got near such things again.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

Sack the mods.

 

[Solius]

These draws recently

Nice long trip to Southampton for Newcastle too.

 

[Borys]

That is rather generous.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

So looks like the 1st leg will be Wednesday as we play Arsenal on the Sunday a few day before.

2nd leg still to be decided as the Reading FA Cup fixture date hasn’t even been confirmed yet on what day that is going to be.

 

[charlenefan]

Ole must be wondering wtf he did to deserve the tough draws we had under him

I was thinking the same, are some managers just lucky? Though we did get Barca of all sides in the EL

 

[TheReligion]

@IrishRedDevil you were too slow my man

 

[Sandikan]

Ole must be wondering wtf he did to deserve the tough draws we had under him

He got to a string of semis finals didn't he?

 

[Messier1994]

So Newcastle vs United in the final eh.

I would give Southampton a remote chance in most games, but Newcastle really dominated earlier this season. Southampton can be so strong physically and they live a lot of that, but when they face a team even stronger than them they just had nothing.

Henderson is a big loss for Forrest. If they don’t come knocking on the door to make it permanent in the coming week willing to pay to make it happen.

 

[V.O.]

Unlucky for Henderson. Gets his team through to the semis then has to sit the next two out.

Yeah, that's properly gutting. He seems so humble and likeable.

 

[George The Best]

Also hoping with these extra fixtures fatigue might start creeping in at St James’s.

We might have the same problem

 

[Red in STL]

These draws recently

Nice long trip to Southampton for Newcastle too.

The fans maybe, the teams will have a little airplane ride

 

[TMDaines]

80% sure the dates will be:

Weds 25th Jan v Forest away (Carabao)
Sat 28th Jan v Reading at home (FA Cup)
Tues 31st Jan v Forest home (Carabao)

Can only play on Weds/Thurs after a Sunday match for the first leg, then they like to make you play on the opposite day for the second leg.

 

[The Brown Bull]

Well done Saints. Great result gif football.City made to look very ordinary.

 

[Frank Grimes]

I don't get this. We don't need 2xNewcastle right after City/Arsenal fixtures and just before 2xBarcelona.

Yeah, puzzling logic on display. We literally got the best possible outcome tonight.

If I'm picky maybe a home v Forest 1st so we could try to finish them off in 1st leg but that is splitting hairs.

 

[JB7]

A Utd v Newcastle final would fill a 200,000 seat stadium.

Tbf a United v anyone final would fill a 200,000 seat stadium.

It is the Dutch luck. LVG draw in Fa cup was so kind.
