Carabao Cup R4 Draw - Burnley (A)

David 'El Mago' Silva said:
So we need to beat Burnley to reach another QF in this competition.

One of Liverpool/Arsenal and one of Spurs/Chelsea won't be in the next round.

If we win it this season we will equal Liverpool's record of consecutive wins (4) and most wins (8) and I think we have a pretty good chance of doing it.

I am proud to say that I have attended 7 of the 8 League Cup Finals that City have appeared in (I missed the Sunderland 2014 final). I enjoy these games far more than any CL game,but I think that is just an age thing.

I think it’s denial more than age.

I struggle to believe most City fans, regardless of age, don’t get more joy from us going to places like Real Madrid away and winning and instead prefer to watch a youth team mix winning a 3rd round game against Bournemouth at home.

Let’s be honest, if there were regular crowds still, there would have been about 20k empty seats at that game last night and an atmosphere colder than a mother in law’s kiss.
 
Everton looks like good value to win this cup. All the teams in European competition are going to rest players right the way through.

I don't see why some of the clubs who haven't won a trophy in years don't go all out for this.

No I meant the actual League Cup Finals, not the early rounds. I much prefer a Wembley visit for a League Cup Final than any latter stage CL game vs so called glamorous opposition in Europe.

In the home LC match against, then, Championship Wolves three years ago, City had 50,755. Empty seats are usually down to the pricing structure.
 
It's highly unlikely that, after three successful Carabou Cup campaigns, we're going to 'successively' continue winning this trophy, and Burnley at Turf Moor could well prove to be more of an obstacle than most of us are expecting .... realistically, because bigger clubs usually play weaker line ups, it's probably one of the likelier competitions that a team like Burnley could actually do well in .... providing of course they take the game seriously themselves!

This means it’s on that shitty carabao cup stream. I paid the £10 for it and casted it to the tele but it kept coming up every ten minutes that the content was blocked even though I’d been watching it. Right load of tosh. See if they refund me before I pay another tenner.

Put the tinfoil away, the majority are better for TV:

Tuesday 29 September: Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea - 7:45pm - Big clash and London derby
Wednesday 30 September: Newport County v Newcastle United - 5:30pm - PL away to lower league
Wednesday 30 September: Brighton & Hove Albion v Manchester United - 7.45pm - Admittedly a shit pick, argument could be a genuine 'upset' coming
Thursday 1 October: Brentford v Fulham - 5:30pm - London derby and play-off final redemption
Thursday 1 October: Liverpool v Arsenal - 7.45pm - Big clash, entertaining game

You’re a neutral, do you watch Arsenal vs Liverpool or Burnley vs City?

There’s also an argument that Brighton have a stronger chance of knocking United out than Burnley do to us.
