Carabao Cup Final - Sun 26 Feb '23

[East Level 2]

I wouldn't know.

When you are the coach of a team that the rules don't apply to its sort of difficult to tell how good you are.

Is this the 5th or 6th time the rags are back?

Seems to get mentioned every season then it turns to dogshit.

Come back when you've won it 8 times.

You progress in (or win) cups and get 3 points in the league for being awarded more goals than the opposition. Whether those goals should have been awarded is soon forgotten other than by supporters of the clubs that conceded them. Manager awards are also doled out on those results.
Rags are third and look likely to finish in the top three as opponents rarely take their chances against them.
Their tactics might be basic, crude and generally neolithic, but they (and their lickspittle cronies in the media) won't give a stuff.

They’re definitely a different beast now though, not hard I suppose when you seem to get unlimited “rubs of the green”.

It was the recent derby result that put them back in the picture with the fortuitous offside call. See how he does when the pressure is going to be ramped up.

The quality of both is of championship play off levels and united squad is the highest value ?
Would not fear any of them quality wise, but united you have the officials in their back pocket.

Let's not be fooled here ? It's the league cup and how did United get there that's right easy ties at home and then forest over 2 legs

 

[Winchester]

They won’t though and you know it.

No I don't

 

[FantasyIreland]

Its not far off us losing seeing these cunts winning.

I fucking despise them,and the cheating cunts have the audacity to accuse us of such.

 

[mcfcpride]

Let's not kid ourselves, the improved Rags under ETH has made them a side who won't lose a 2-0 advantage so easily. ETH improved them unfortunately. That's a good coaching, unlike Graham Potter, but still they're not a much better side than City.

If Newcastle defend like that next week I will be quite happy

Even if they do, they won’t be getting the same officiating.

 

[Decepticon]

Still feel there's something in this for Newcastle.

Yeah sure, the FA just awarded the cunts a dodgy offside goal and you think Newcastle have something in this?

 

[Withnail]

Isak should have been on from the start.

 

[chaddblue]

An offside and a freak own goal

They’ve always been stuffy Cunts
