I genuinely thought the same but Southampton defended that lead really wellSaints need it to be 4-0 at half time to stand a chance once baldie brings on the big boys.
And finishing in the top 4 to qualify is for another thing wrong with football, and the only reason it's there is moneyTop 4 means you get a chance to play for the biggest of all trophies... I'll take that over Carabao thing. But the FA Cup and the Europa League (even without the bonus of it giving a CL qualification) are worthy trophies. I was gutted when we lost that Semifinal to Seville in 2020, it would have been a wonderful season with a trophy against Inter in the final. Can't compare it to Carabao thing... Not as emotional about the Villareal game, the run was better but it came off the back of a shameful CL exit.
This here is really forgettable so far. Nothing is memorable about three home games against Villa, Burnley and Charlton sending you to the semifinal.
No, getting some silverware is vital. We go full strength against City and Arsenal then rotate for the Reading game in the middle of the two Forest matches.Obviously we all want to see us land this trophy. But do we even considering starting anything less than our best XI, no exceptions, for the semis and final?
He should be the last person to wonder about luck and deserving something.Ole must be wondering wtf he did to deserve the tough draws we had under him
The first leg of the semis is 2 days afterArsenal game.No, getting some silverware is vital. We go full strength against City and Arsenal then rotate for the Reading game in the middle of the two Forest matches.
Probably will be moved a day later then. We could rotate a few positions, but not an entire team. Leave some starters on the bench and send them on in 2nd half.The first leg of the semis is 2 days afterArsenal game.
Ok, full strength.No, getting some silverware is vital. We go full strength against City and Arsenal then rotate for the Reading game in the middle of the two Forest matches.
Remember Villa beating us in 94 finalThis
Although when I was a young lad I used to always call it Coca Cola cup
Only twice but it was goodOh look at"Mr. I've had sex" showing off
I think, as well, given what Newcastle have come to represent that it would be even more galling to lose ETH's first cup final against them - that said Forest will be no pushover in the semis.If we're playing Newcastle in a potential final, it certainly won't feel small time. They're literally our most immediate league competition
Wouldn’t be surprised if Southampton cause another upset. I want us to get Newcastle though. Rival fans are already saying we’ve not played a top 8 team yet and had 3 home draws in a row.If we're playing Newcastle in a potential final, it certainly won't feel small time. They're literally our most immediate league competition
Over two legs I expect them to be just that.- that said Forest will be no pushover in the semis.
I would have agreed if we would not had been so shit in the past years. But a small trophy like that could further confirm the upward trend and advance the team further.Its a shit tournament.. Dont care about it at all.. but winning games is always good.
This isnt even the FA cup.. the league cup should be for the reserves
Exactly... the Soton' / City game last night should make us all realise the need to really need to focus and be 100+% on this, all of our games, because anything can happen. All the semi finalists will feel, justifiably, that they can win this.I think, as well, given what Newcastle have come to represent that it would be even more galling to lose ETH's first cup final against them - that said Forest will be no pushover in the semis.
It would've been more fun if he could play, when our boys put 10 in aggregate past him.Is Henderson ineligible for these Semi finals? Would be hilarious if he was
Thanks for pointing that outIts a shit tournament.. Dont care about it at all.. but winning games is always good.

Indeed you are correct. I always thought it was Toldo for some reasonWasn't it Pagliuca
Since Swansea won it in 2013 the last 10 winners have been:Its a shit tournament.. Dont care about it at all.. but winning games is always good.

Yeah I don't think it's a meaningful trophy but it's a starting point. And obviously, we are hoping for a good finish in the Premier league.If we can win this trophy and be in the top 3 of the league in his first 8 months in charge. That’s amazing work.
Easy draw or not it’s huge improvement from past seasons.
Mourinho counted the charity shield as a trophy. Pep certainly celebrates the league cup wins. Ferguson spoke very highly of the world club title which was only one game at the time I think. As a manager, any piece of silverware buys time and lends itself to your own defence when results hit a bad patch.Its a shit tournament.. Dont care about it at all.. but winning games is always good.

It's been going for over 60 years and it's one of the 3 domestic trophies. We don't have the luxury of picking and choosing. We should take this very seriously.Its a shit tournament.. Dont care about it at all.. but winning games is always good.

Think that was Peruzzi or Pagliuca.Keepers positioning was like Toldo against Ray Houghtons goal in 94

It’s yours to lose now. Considering your form I believe the drought ends with tournament.Vital to win a trophy
You could make a case for it being the morally right thing to do, but I guess if your first port of call after leaving on loan is to slag of your parent club, well, get fecked.The right move. Why help your opposition? Bizarre this was even a conversation.
