League Cup Final - Post Match Thread

[Gary James]

Took my son with me yesterday for his first ever trip to Wembley. Had a brilliant day, with the additional bonus of actually being able to remember it for once!

Thought we were pretty poor in the first half, but it was a superb finish from Aguero to give us the lead. Nice to see Bravo get an assist too, hopefully his performance vindicated Guardiola's decision and will put an end to some of the over the top criticism he receives. Second half we were much better, and completely outplayed Arsenal, who were admittedly awful. Couldn't have gone much better with the stalwarts Aguero, Kompany and Silva getting the goals. Only thing that could've topped it would have been a red card for Wilshere, the loathsome prick.

Your son will have many many days like that to come I hope. On the goals - a lot was said on radio as I drove home about City's spending but if anyone says anything all Blues should remember this:

Kompany arrived before the takeover and only cost less than £8m; Silva arrived in 2010 before any of the trophies and cost less than £26m and Aguero cost £28.5m (see https://www.manchestereveningnews.c...news/revealed-how-much-sergio-aguero-11084421 for details on that), meaning that each had cost less than the £30m Utd spent on defender Rio Ferdinand way back in July 2002. Worth also remembering that Veron had cost Utd £28.1m back in 2001. Football transfers are ridiculous, but City didn't create this situation and I think that every one of those 3 City players has demonstrated time and time again to be great value - bargain purchases!

Just on a side note, when I collected my ticket and the girl saw it was for level 5 she offered me a choice of seats in level 1 if I wanted a swop which I didn't take up. So there were seats available 2 hours before KO

Probably just taken some returns

What a great day out. So pleased for Vinny - MOTM, scores a goal and lifts the trophy! Lets hope for many more days out like - the future looks bright!

In Block 121 and there were some awful smells circulating - everybody seemed to be blaming everybody else!

Good result and a really fun day out. City fans were in good spirit yesterday

Was it a punch up free day for once? I didn’t even see an argument yesterday which is a first at Wembley.

On another matter, they do a great job shifting the masses at Wembley Park tube.

And Pawson had a good game too bar letting Wilshire constantly dive.

Happy days.

Pain in the arse getting off Wembley Way to walk back to the car in Brent... Plod making everybody go through the station even if not taking trains...

Home before midnight and really enjoyed the day, weather was superb... too many Blues in our block (507) were bladdered and probably won't even remember the game... fist fights in the 2nd half which was sad to see... but it takes all sorts I guess...

What is it with you lot in the upper tier at Wembley? Lower tier behind the goal is always great. You lot don't seem to able to behave yourselves

I have not enjoyed the last few. Made it better as I have spent the night in London. Just about to go to madam Tussaud’s and have my picture taken with trump.

fair enough that, probably is best way.

My first ever final that I attended in Wembley and glad we've won!

I was at the semi final last year when we lost 2-1 to them, thought I jinxed the team with my presence!
Having to travel from Abu Dhabi, this is gonna get costly for me attending semi finals / finals with Guardiola in charge :)

I bet even his own teammates dislike Wilshire, cheating shit

I could of swore there was a trap-door,when he went down,the way he was knocking the ground..
