League Cup Final - Post Match Thread

[Eccles Blue]

So Wenger wants another 30 seconds at the end of a match that they're losing 0-3?...

Maybe he wanted us to score again? Which from what I’ve heard & the highlights I’ve seen was more likely than them scoring! You see Mr Wenger might like humiliation?

Well played lads, happy we Won,some people may say I am spoilt, but would rather have seen us win the F.A. cup

Of course - the FA Cup is certainly the more prestigious trophy, but it would also have taken a lot more to win (hard game in the semi and final) and been very disruptive to our end of season schedule (two more league games to be rearranged). I was still desperately disappointed at going out, and would happily have taken the hectic schedule, but it is what it is now.

My first game v Bury 1965 how many trophies have I seen ;-)

Same as me mate!

I wonder what Ben Aguero is like at football. What a goal by Kun.

Three great goals. We did similar against Sunderland as I remember. This was a better day.

I know mate, I am trying to let it go, but my childhood and my blood just loves the fa cup, think we have sorely under achieved in this cup for years, obviously is league title first, then F.A. cup after that for me

Agree as an 81 veteran i want us to win the FA cup....preferably in a fashion similar to today but against Spurs....only then will the nightmares end. I thought this could be the year but no only Alty Ant could thwart us....cheating bald rag twat, anyway bollocks to him. Like the rest of them he has to watch that shower of shite.

All of that and nothing about Bravo’s double save, assist or coming out and snuffing our danger three times....

a

I havent actually seen it as my stream went down for about 10 mins int he first half before Kun scored.......I saw the save with his feet from Aubmayang in the first half on some highlights just now...was a good save........nothing else though from him...

His kicking was ok...gave it away a number of times but he did provide the assist for Kun.

However he completely got away with one when he completely missed the one in the second half......all in all anyone arguing that he is as good as ederson is simply wrong.....luckily he didnt have too much to do

I didn't think any manager could be a parody of himself more than Mourinho (or maybe Pulis). This guy is an absolute dinosaur -- the poster grandpa for all humans who have hung around in power too long while life passes them by. Every morsel of suffering that club and its odious collection of supporting snotdonkeys goes through delights me.

Cups a cup, league cup is as good as FA cup unless you buy into the protentious bullshit of the FA, shame that the last decade this domestic trophy has been targeted as tin pot it ain't
