United (A) - League Cup SF Post-Match Thread

Judging by this they don't need us to kick things off...

I just heard the greatest question ever, here: 'What is Jesse Lingaard?'

Just watching it back on telly and seen the bits of that little scrote James going in late on Otamendi and then couple of mins later giving Otamendi a nudge and landing on Bravo. Cheeky little tw@t taling liberties. And then Alan Smith and Tyler laughing it off. Need someone to give James a harsh lesson in the 2nd leg (without getting sent off of course).

How shit is Dan James? He's genuinely one of the worst footballers I've ever seen. Hasn't a football brain to bless himself with...Good signing :)

...AND he looks like Grumio off "Plebs", poor little f@cker hasn't got a lot going for him has he :)

I said exactly the same to Mrs Vienna after the game.

It could easily have been six or even more by half time, we were that good.

it feels like a missed opportunity - the story of derbies in pep's reign.

If it stayed 3:0, it would be easier to swallow, though still missed opportunity to humiliate them, but 3-1 feels like an ordinary win.

Bernie’s goal what a fucking goal . Love Mahrez’s too.

 

[El Gringo]

The biggest mystery is how the fuck did we let them score?

THIS

Another accomplished performance great lead in to the home tie.

The hunger for trophies hasn't waned.

Talk Sport had 3 stats of the game

Bernardo has scored more goals on his last two games at The Swamp than Linguard has scored in the last 2 seasons.....

The last time the Rags conceded 3 goals at home in the 1st half was May 1997

City have won 7 out of the last 10 games at The Swamp... City had previously won 7 out of the last 42 visits to The Swamp

Just read Micah's post match comment about the build-up for the third goal - was he being serious?
Or, as posted much earlier, trying to ensure his contract with Sky?

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Fans leaving at or before half time, fighting in the stands, fighting and kicking off on the fan cams, feelings of embarrassment, fear of the future, no faith in the managers tactical ability (Ole at the wheel anyone), laughed at as a banter club by Arsenal fans (lol).
Does it get any better to be a blue?
Never forget that banner folks. What goes around comes around. Karma is a wonderful thing.....
