Miggys First Goal Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 14 minutes ago, Ankles Bennett said: Sorry but completely underwhelmed by this. To me the Carabao cup is a tin pot cup where most of the top 6 play their second string in the early rounds. I can't see us beating a full strength Man u in the final either. The only hope is that they target a top 4 slot and play a weakened side, but even then they have strength in ddepth so I can't get carried away when the likely outcome is yet another cup final defeat. Sorry but just being realistic!! If ever there was a bannable post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 To be fair. I can imagine if we do win it, that's exactly what the "top 6" / media reaction will be. Can already picture Merson or some other gobshite going on SSN claiming it's only the league cup and we haven't won anything "proper" yet etc. Not that we'll care, we'll still be partying as we'd have finally won a fucking trophy again ?

frankpingel Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 This'll be my fifth (domestic) and as Ginola said last night you don't play in finals, you win them. Unfortunately I've yet to see NUFC do either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I can honestly say that if I had a time machine I'd spend most of my time going back and showing people things like this "and that's only halfway through the season!" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There'll be a bit of that, but honestly I think most the media would be buzzing for us to win a trophy. It'll piss other fans off. ---- I was only 8/9 at the last two finals but I remember them pretty well and I was there. This already feels a lot different cos even if we're not favourites, we've got a fighting chance. Felt like it'd take a proper fluke result to win either of the last two.

Was more understandable when things were shite as the match did usually be the worst part of the day. But I will never understand the fuckers who show up late for the match, away down for a pint 10 minutes before half-time, back late from half-time then leave early. What is the point in going? The amount of 30-50 year old blokes who cannit hold a piss in for 45 mins is mind blowing. Was millions and billions round me shuttling off to the bog during the game, some even going twice in a half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All depends on how many you’ve had tbf. 6-7 pints deep I’m not stopping the flow. 1 or two it’s a different story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Based on Eddie's interview the second half wasn't tactical. We lost our way with a "negative mindset" after Southampton pulled one back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Sure I’d love our first trophy that we win to the champions league but I’m not going to turn my nose up to a league cup. It’s amazing that we’re in a final for the first time in 24 years, let’s enjoy it and enjoy the fact we have a team that can genuinely go into any match with the expectation of winning it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
