League Cup 4th Rd Draw - NUFC v Man City @ 7:45pm on 30th October (on SkySports)

[AlanSkÃrare]

Quarter Finals.

 

Closest I've seen us win this was 2001-2, got to the last 8 again, seem to remember O'Brien missing a pretty simple header and Hasslebaink scoring in the last minute. We would have had Spurs in the Semis who were average that season, then Blackburn in the Final.

 

Would have been so fitting for that team. Chelsea were rubbish as well.

Can't believe I've come on here and we are slagging off his quotes already! We won, tough tie we have ahead to progress, we'll give it our best shot, now for Everton on Monday!

 

Course you can.

Honestly think we'll win.  We're due a cup win against a sovereign state.

Beat these and we will get Brazil 1970 away next round.

Someone mentioned that he'd probably chuck this excuse in at some point:

 

"I was a little disappointed after we played Manchester City in so much as their result did not reflect what I felt that night in terms of how good they were.

 

“Their performance against Man United brought home that when they turn the heat up, they really are difficult.

Wait.... is he saying he's disappointed Man City didn't score more against you?

[Mick]

If you try to read it in it's true meaning, yes.  In reality, no, he just isn't very good at using English.

Maybe he did a Lou Macari?

Have we been past the QFs since 1976?

 

Nope.  Last time we got past Round 5 was indeed 1976.
