Carabao Cup SF draw (Bristol City)

[purplenose]

Oh dear i think I have laughed my bollocks of again....oh dear oh dear.

2 games against a lower league team to get us to Wembley and a chance of an early trophy. We have to take it now. Play our best team.

Final will be very tough but we can do this now.

Are you for real ?

Yeah. You were saying? Pre-draw everyone's like "draw will be rigged". "No chance we will get Bristol City." "Obviously we will get Chelsea".

We got footballing behemoths West Brom, Wolves, Leicester and Bristol City in the league cup.

Burnley at home in the FA Cup

A fucking herb in the Champions League.

Yet the draws are rigged. If they're rigged, then they're rigged in our favour :)

Interesting to see what team Pep will play now that he is so close to winning his first trophy at City.

 

[Fame Monster]

Bristol played well, won't be any pushovers especially if we play the kids. Thought their centre back and left back had really good games.

Will this be on the Tuesday?

 

[Healdplace]

What day is Liverpool away on TV after first leg Sat or Sunday?

Are Arsenal or Chelsea playing Saturday?

Will likely effect which game goes on Tuesday.

Our FA cup tie is preceding Saturday at 3 pm.

Can’t believe we got Bristol. The rags will be livid. Fcuk them.

kill them at home then send the kids to finish the job

Lol..........what a draw, what a night. The Rags will be choking on their Christmas pudding.

Pep won't do that, he'll send the kids in both games, but pick a side which he thinks can win.

That's what he's done every time so far, and it's why the games have been so annoyingly close, he's resting just enough players to not lose the tie.

Also would be great to see the kids play at home.

He won't play the strongest team against them. Certainly not at home anyway. Can always pick a stronger team 2nd leg if needed. I think the team in the first leg won't be that dissimilar to last night. Maybe stronger bench though.

Edit- having said that he may go weaker in FA Cup if we play in the Tuesday and go for it in this. Who knows!

Was chuckle two looking in the pot to pick the right ball first and the daft twat fucked it up?

Bugger we would have got the rags, dry bummed them twice, and sent Maureen into meltdown and the end of his career

And that rag who has been jailed for the Sterling attack will be choking on some Cheesy bratwurst with a bit of luck!

Play strongish side in 1st leg. Kill the tie.

 

[citytilllidie]

Our kids will struggle to beat that lot. However, we won't have a choice, games are now thick and fast.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

What a 10 days this has been. Brilliant.

Bristol played well, won't be any pushovers especially if we play the kids. Thought their centre back and left back had really good games.

Which is why playing home first is best for once.

They could be overawed at the Etihad. It gives us the best chance to kill the tie off before we face their fans.

Go there first and they might get a result and come to us needing only to keep us out.

Plus home tie days before Anfield in the PL is better than away.
