Tooj Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Some talk going around that the Man City fans were chanting "let him die" during whilst the Villa fans were doing their 19th minute applause for Petrov. That's disappointing, if true. I hope they didn't. Wouldn't surprise me like. They're a bunch of horrible cunts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbers Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 23,000 at Man City. Massive club. Tramps who have found a tenner tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hope that's not true. As I've said before I firmly believe Lambert will be a top manager. I think you will have a difficult season but it will be progressive. Yeah, it just needs to start in the right direction. Two years ago we played them in the cup up there, and Houllier surrendered before the match, then said after we were never going to beat them. Had McFuck taken us there in the cup, he'd probably have done the same, and then sent them an apology letter and offered to pay their expenses. Lambert at least got them believing a bit. It might not have been City's best XI, but apparently their starting XI cost £187m, so it was hardly a bunch of shmucks. Good to see Gareth Barry doing something for his old club, too, mind.

Mr. Snrub Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 23,000 at Man City. Massive club. Joke, although not the most embarrassing attendance of the night. 14,000 at Celtic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I don't think 23k is that bad an attendance, to be honest. They've got plenty other things to play for, its what most would assume was a relatively routine win before the match. It was pissing down with rain, etc etc. Basically, the League Cup really needs to be strangled off for good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Cattermole's 'challenge' that earned him his red card, what a numpty. Even had the gall to pretend like he'd done nowt wrong afterwards too. Little charva. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Yeah, one big waste of time. Be a complete anticlimax if we ended the trophy drought in such an insignificant tournament. Was thinking along the same lines earlier. Granted it's a bit weird to be a trophy snob when Newcastle haven't won one in ages, but it still wouldn't really be winning one in this Mickey Mouse competition where even Wolverhampton fucking Wanderers changes 10 players and fields their juniors. League Cup is a glorfied reserves cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

League Cup is a glorfied reserves cup. In fairness, when we reached the final a couple of years ago, it ceases to be insignificant at the point at which you're within touching distance of winning it. It's the general disdain it is regarded with in the interminable rounds up to that point that devalue it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To play Mackem's advocate though, we might not be hearing these comments if we weren't quite likely on the verge of getting dumped out of the competition early on! If I had to choose, would much rather have a proper crack at the Waffa. We don't play against lower league opposition, whereas we're (historically) not bad in Europe.

Gotta say John I'm looking at their team here and there's not any players standing out to me. Maybe Milan Milanovic but that's based purely on his name.
