League Cup Final Post - Match Thread

[Vienna_70]

Didn't want to start a new thread but does anyone know the last time we lost a penalty shootout? The only one that comes to mind was in the league cup 2nd or 3rd round maybe under Keegan which is obv a few years back now!

We’ve won six of the last seven, apparently.

Funny how clubs and some fans dismiss this comp but I have had four of the best days of my city supporting life at these finals! The celebrations when Nasri Scored against Sunderland to the joy of penalty wins which let’s face it, when you come out on top, are brilliant. I thought it wasn’t our day yesterday and from about 60 mins on I thought we would lose out so it was great to see us win it again! What a great pen under pressure from Sterling.

Totally agree. More club fans at the LC final and it's so bloody difficult to get a ticket for the FA Cup final. It will be neigh on impossible for me the next time we eventually get there with the club selling so many away tickets to day trippers from overseas.
In hope of going again one day, I have to tirelessly cultivate my friendship with a Wembley seat debencher owner in the smoke and pray we aren't playing a London club in the final.

I agree. It's always been a 'fans final' with larger ticket allocation & sensible pricing. Hence the atmosphere inside Wembley beats the FAC Final hands down IMHO. I've been been to every LC Final that City have played in and each one has been a great day out. Even Wolves in 1974, despite the result. Those clubs who can't be arsed about the competition don't know what they are missing.

I can't add anything much to what has already been said. Chelsea players dived alot but were much better as a team, and the game was rather dull. Moss was crap. Jorginio should have been carded in first 2 secs and isn't that good on that showing. VAR should have allowed Agueros goal. Gutted Ferns and Laporte injured. So so pleased that Sterling scored that winning pen. But the overriding thing is we won another Cup!!! and a day out at Wembley is still a great day. We should never ever tire of or take it for granted.

They don’t and all this playing weakened teams bollocks from clubs like Middlesboro is bullshit for their fans and a real slap in the face. Sunderland fans had a ball when they played us. Yes they lost but I was in London the night before and it was absolutely electric around Covent Garden. Tens of thousands of their fans parting the night away. You don’t forget moments like that when you don’t get there often hence the joy we had in 99. Saddens me now that so many clubs don’t take the cups seriously just so they might stay up or get promoted.

I dont know the fella,but it as to be the same bloke on cheesy's blog from wembley yesterday ?
you can see the bloke is very upset and emotional,me heart goes out to him.is this him at around 10 minutes into this vid ?

John sits in front of me at the Etihad. I’ll make sure he sees this. I’m sure he want me to thank you advance for the kind words and thoughts.

 

[cleavers]

I read on some statistical webpage (might have been our MDC) that the fouls were 7 for CFC and 24 for City

BBC has it 7-22, while possession was 39-61, its bullshit really isn't it ?

Got back from the overnight stay in London tonight. Still laughing my arse off at Jorginho's Monty Python Ministry of Silly Walks comedy run up.

 

[HarrytheBlue]

Jorginho's comedy routine was only matched by Kepa's 'Top of the bill' finale.
Kepa was hoist by his own petard. Publicly saying he was giving his team some breathing space - like it's perfectly normal......
We in the crowd knew he was faking it - his manager didn't.
