Re: 2015/16 Football League Cup Thread

A squad the size of ours isn't one that should have to 'focus' on one thing or the other. When you spend as much as we do and possess the embarrassment of talent we can boast you go for the lot. Anything less isn't acceptable.

[Kick]

I'd agree but this is the COC we're talking about, hardly important.

[iNFINITY9910]

But Mata plays in it.. we should win.

[Shed]

Arteta sent off for Le Arse today for a professional foul against Palace. Will miss the COC game against us on Tuesday.

[Shed]

The evening's other results.

[Kick]

We should be the clear favourite for this now.

IMO, we should try to win it. Get Some Silverware in Jose's second case early on, just like his first stint. Only Utd will be hard and under Moyes, they look lost.

[Shed]

City still to play Newcastle tomorrow, don't forget.

[Kick]

Same City that we beat on the weekend?

Hopefully we have a manchester derby in the next round

Hopefully we have a manchester derby in the next round

[Shed]

So the draw for the quarterfinals will be coming up after the Newcastle-City game is over. Will post the full draw once it's done.

[Shed]

Sunderland or Southampton away for us in the quarters.

[Soul]

Not too bad I guess. I'd rather play Sunderland though. I was hoping the Manchester clubs drew each other

[Shed]

As were we all

[Kick]

We should beat either team so I don't really mind who we face.

Sunderland go 1 up aganst Southampton in COC tie to determine who faces us...

[Shed]

And the Black Cats score again to seal their place in the next round!

[Shed]

Oh wait...now it's 2-1....

[Shed]

But it ends 2-1 and Sunderland are indeed through to face us in the next round


Much rather them than Southampton.

[Kick]

Good result for us, looks like We'll be facing Poyet.

[Shed]

Ex-Blue Gus Poyet looking forward to facing Chelsea:

"I suppose that's good news, yes?"

"Look, they are the games I need to enjoy. In quarter-finals, you can't ask for any small team, you know you are going to get one of the big ones."

"It's going to be special for me - an official game against Chelsea is always very special - so I am looking forward to seeing Jose and company."

"Of course, it's a cup competition, you need to win. Everybody knows a quarter-final is something we haven't achieved for many, many years, which is great for the football club."

"We are playing Chelsea, which is going to be special here at home."

[Motogp69]

Even better, Sunderland actually look a better side under Poyet. Obviously, ignoring the 2 red card performance this past weekend.

[Shed]

As well as his debut match annihilation at the hands of Laudsy

[Shed]

Shitty to walk this thing now.


Oh well. Suppose we can retire this thread. Don't think anyone gives a toss about it now that we're out.

[iNFINITY9910]

Better I think
