I cant believe people just think this is a mickey mouse cup, when did we turn in to competition snobs? fucking disgraceful attitude to have.

According to one of the BM experts, that opinion makes you a complete knob.

 

[LoveCity]

On the bright side , Chelsea are out ..... ;)

Not really if we lose, would rather they win it than the scum. Arsenal and United could walk to the final.

 

[cityboy1]

ffs

 

[K.Reeves right foot]

The League Cup isn't a priority, no competition is. They are all equally important....tell that to the City fans dredging out of the ground after this shambolic performance.......I weep at the arrogance of you...............

How am i showing arrogance ?
I replied that we should try and do both, win the carling cup AND get top 4

Sorry Bluemoon 32, was directed at the quote before yours, I agreed with yours! You see, City [or Mancini] fucks my mood so bad I can't reply properly to the right quote!

Can't describe how fucked off I am with the team Mancini has put out here, Vidal, Mee, Ibrahim and Guidetti all starting, simply not good enough. We've not won a trophy since 1976, how DARE we treat the competition with so little respect, how DARE we treat the fans with so little respect. Don't give me this shit about having big games coming up, this is looking like we've thrown away a really good shot at a trophy. Spurs out, Chelsea out, Liverpool only drawing against Northampton as I type, really pissed off.

Bang on the money.

West Brom away is not an easy game, and with a full team out I'd be happy with 3 points. I don't think bobby is disrespecting the trophy, he's just saying that it's his 4th priority. Don't forget, he hasn't been following us for the last 40 years, so probably doesn't understand why the fans are so pissed off. It's OK to say he should know but the fact is that he doesn't feel it like us. I reckon his remit this season would be to get us in the Champions League first, then win a trophy - and as far as trophies go this would be 4th priority (after the Prem, FA Cup/Europa). Just my thoughts.

Just in from work - listening on way home in car........time for a rant guys.......
CANNOT believe some of the utter crap people are saying tonight.
1. We can't RISK players as we have Chelsea? This is football not a bloody war!
by that [shite] logic, we can't risk players v Chelsea as we have Juve next thurs....in fact let's not play anyone ever....then no injuries....
2. Mickey Mouse comp? Really? Did anyone say that at the semi's last season? NO. Unfortunatly since i supported City in 76 they ceased to win trophies.hence we have had the piss taken out of us since then......The League Cup is a cup competition - one of only 4 per season [counting euro].....Personally I would LOVE us to win it......batter than 4th. To see tevez lift any cup would be better than sex for me.........
3. Noone would have predicted this shambolic team before hand because that's what it is, utter shambles and it's clear Mancini wants us to go out......that is disrespectful to every fan who made it tonight and every other City fan.....If he is keeping players for Chelsea we had better win that game otherwise in the space of 4 days we go out of the first cup competition at the first hurdle and lay in mid table in the prem......excellent return on our spending and really ties in to Mancinis ramblings about creating a winning mentality at the club........

Anyone wants to slate me go ahead..........there is no argument against anything i've said............

This!

THIS "but we have chelsea coming up!!" ...then juve! lets just play toys r us back 4 all year and put toure's feet in boxes! People even dismissing the cup as well! This was a great shot at a cup! "Oh bluemoon goes into meltdown" So fans can't be angry about going out of a compeitition we would have a great chance of fucking winning didnt everyone commend our attitude to this cup last year? We played our stronger sides and got far and finished a point of 4th. People need to wake up.

 

[SalfordCityBlue]

I never see the match day threads for one reason or another... Are they always this wanky and hilarious?

Bunch of fucking drama queens. Third string losing in least important competition three days before a home game with Chelsea is hardly worthy of ranting.

Would I rather lose this and give ourselves the best shot against Chelsea? Too fucking right.

Some of you are too obsessed with banners at Old Trafford and can't see the bigger picture. Who gives a fuck if they wallpaper the corporate boxes with 34 years or whatever?

I will be disappointed if our first trophy win is the Carling Cup. Sorry, but it's true. If you think winning this tin pot will stop any piss taking you will be sorely disappointed.
