oldtype Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 the league cup is like the commonwealth games, f***ing pointless and no-one really takes it sriously, it's the child that is begotten form a wifes weekend fling that the husband tolerates for the sake of not wanting to his wifer to leave and him to be lonely. honestly don't care if we go out and would much rather go out than any of our players suffer any sort of injury in this rotten competition. I think it's decent as an opportunity for bleeding in younger players on the fringe of the squad. Of course it's pretty useless when you have no youth talent to speak of, as we did up to a few years ago, but now I appreciate the fact that we'll get to bring on the likes of Vuckic and Ranger alongside regular first-teamers in a high profile environment.

Good point actually, the two cups represent the only realistiic opportunity smaller cups have to fluke a trophy in this day and age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 We are entered in 3 competitions a season, and the premier league we will never win. If we make the semi's of the CC for example, then give the FA cup a back pedal then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gash Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Just play the strongest team of people who haven't been playing much, be it a 35 year old Campbell or a 19 year old Ranger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 We are currently the sort of club who should be trying to win this. Some big teams have already been knocked out. I wouldn't risk anyone who we have no adequate backup for (Enrique, Carroll), but as Ash says I would play the strongest team of non-essential players, with a few first teamers mixed.

stozo Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I hope we go for it tonight and don't sit back and hope to nick a 1-0. My lineup would be: Krul R.Taylor Campbell Williamson Kadar Ranger Vukcic Smith Jonas Amoebi Lovenkrands Not the best lineup we could put out but at the same time we do need to give games to our squad players.

nufcmichael Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Maybe it's already been discussed, but why are sky showing Scunthorpe - Man Utd? Our match is shown live in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potential upset i guess. Southend beat Man United a couple of seasons back. Higher viewing figures for Sky. Our match is considered a home banker by anyone that isn't a daftie NUFC fan.
