League/Carabao Cup

Before we get into the whole caboodle about the attendance figures and ‘I’m a better Blue than you because I’m going and you’re not’ business please may I present my note from my mother for non attendance?

“To whom it may concern: I, Eccles Blue, hereby state that I am not able to attend the Carabao Cup Final. The reason for this distressing lapse of ‘loyalty’ is because my Great-Granddaughter is being christened on the 1st March and, strange as it may sound, she means more to me than even City does!

If anyone wishes to castigate or chastise me, you are at liberty to do so but I am not going to change my mind. :-) :-)
Terrible, sort it out :)
 
Im half cut to be fair and fuming with that team selection plus the performance. However I also looked at Villa last nights for passion.You can’t fake passion and emotion and also Pep wants rid of this cup but picks really strong teams!...Money has won anyway.
Fuming that City won.
 
Rumbelows, Milk whatever its been called over the years if we win it 3rd time in a row how big will the calls be from the media to suggest this competition needs to be shelved or restricted to Championship and below?

We are not the first team to get to 3 consectutive finals, the scousers and forest did it in the 70s/80s.

It will only be called to change because the two teams that cannot or are not brave enough to compete for the league and domestic trophies will call for it.

Also dicks like Linekar openly moaning about it and the FA cup formats to pander to klopps lack of respect for the cups are siezed upon by media to form a narrative.

Us winning it 3 times in row won't affect it's future, clubs with a lack of respect for it will.

I love the League Cup, it was the last thing i saw us win before the takeover but there's no getting away from the fact that most clubs now bin it off and play reserve sides.
I don't think it'll ever return to being a trophy that most clubs or even fans take seriously, give it a few more years and it'll be a trophy played between clubs in the lower leagues & the Premier League clubs won't be in it.

Depends on the rags.
If they qualify for Europe (Champs League or Thursday League) then nobody will be arsed, but if they miss Europe by one place, and Villa beat us, then there will be calls for the competition to be scrapped or for lower division teams only as UEFA would withdraw the Thursday League place for the winners.
Us winning it for the third time isn't the issue. Rags missing Europe would be for the media.
