Gash Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I'd be happy with it replacing the current League Cup. I mean, it would basically be the same but with some crappy jock teams in to make it a bit more interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger Kint Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Doing that would mean theres no longer a Euro place for the winner so most teams wont even bother trying(even less than they currently do) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 It's a shit idea compounded by the fact James came up with a similar one recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gash Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Doing that would mean theres no longer a Euro place for the winner so most teams wont even bother trying(even less than they currently do) Do the winners of the Scottish League Cup not get a place in The Europa League? Could the best placed Scottish and English winners get a place each? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Icke - Son of God Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 If they want to make the League Cup more interesting they should just exclude the teams who have qualified for Europe. It'll reduce fixture congestion, give us a new winner every year and stop Arsenal/Man United reserves from romping it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugazi Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 However, if City win the Cup but finish outside the top four, they will enter the Europa League along with the sixth-placed team. How does that work? If City finish fifth, surely they get Europe and so the FA Cup Europa League place goes to Stoke? According to that article 6th place will get Europa league spot. "However, if City win the Cup but finish outside the top four, they will enter the Europa League along with the sixth-placed team." Did you just quote a sentence that I quoted? Wasn't even paying attention really, only noticed your comment below it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Did anyone watch that thing on BBC last night about the con man who bought Notts County? I didn't get to watch the whole thing just little bits but I'd never even realised what had went on. Can remember a big thing about it at the time when Sven came in and then just forgot about, never realised it was a total con. Going to have to watch it fully on iPlayer later but there's something on .com about how they tried to buy us in 09. And we thought Mike was bad!

Was a unbelieavable stunt, and makes an absolute mockery of the leagues fit and proper persons test. Loved that they sent Sven over to North Korea though to be the face of that billion doller share deal or whatever it was. Fuck me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishmael Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Cesc dropped some big truths today. Leads me to think he's on his way to Barcelona. Would be great if Arsenal fucked him over and flogged him elsewhere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Cesc dropped some big truths today. Leads me to think he's on his way to Barcelona. Would be great if Arsenal fucked him over and flogged him elsewhere For me, what Cesc said is very disappointing... I can't understand why the Arsenal players and fans aren't ecstatic with Wenger, he's transformed their club from top to bottom. Sure it's been a while without a trophy, but there are only so many trophies to win. If I was an Arsenal fan I would be much happier with quotes like "we believe in our philosophy, we play great football and we'll win something soon enough". Maybe a failing from Wenger that he hasn't managed to convince them enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
