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...

nufcjb Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) Think the fact we won a semi final at home made it more emotional and enjoyable as to winning at a neutral venue like Wembley or somewhere else.

Gallowgate Toon Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) Was anyone else really disappointed in the subs last night? They were good calls from Howe but I just thought the triple sub didn't add any energy to the team. Isak & ASM had a couple of nice touches but struggled to get into it even before Bruno's red. Felt like the pressing just dropped off a cliff too, bar one or two sprints from them. The second half was a strange one overall though, guess that's just cup football.

Cronky Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 1 hour 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!! We're of the same vintage, but I'm as excited as hell. In Nick Hornby's book, he described us as a 'habitually poor side', and that really stung because it was true. Apart from two brief flourishes under Keegan and Robson, we have been habitually poor. Even under those two managers, we didn't win anything. But I just feel that this team, under this manager, has a different mentality. They play without fear. The game was won in the first 20 minutes last night, when despite the pressure of the occasion, we ripped the opposition apart. I'm relishing the final, and I'm glad it's Man U. It's a chance to put to bed all those ghosts of past failure, and I can see them doing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ9 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 It’s laughable how long this club has gone without a trophy considering how many other clubs have spawned a result over the years. No way am I going to get in a twist about which cup it is if we do. I’ll probably be halfway to the moon by then anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 In many years’ time - if we’ve got a boatload of PL titles and FA & European Cups in the cabinet - then, and only then, people have permission to call the League Cup ‘tinpot’. Until that day, I suggest those who wish to call it ‘tinpot’ remind themselves we’ve won the grand total of sweet FA in over half a century, wind their neck accordingly, and smile like a wanking chimp like the rest of us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro111 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Over the moon to be through to the final. Regarding the atmosphere, brilliant scenes before and for the first 20 minutes it sounded pretty good but it sounded so flat at times on the TV that even the comms pointed it out. You could say it was because of the strange circumstances of the tie being all but over after 20 minutes but more likely it's the long standing problem we have of not enough radgie younguns inside and allowed to congregate. I might be wrong but I don't think I heard one single chorus of the Blaydon races all night, certainly not the full ground full voice bellowing out you would expect for such an important occasion.

I think the lack of press was purely down to having ten men. I honestly thought they were the correct subs at the time and actually thought we could get another couple of goals with the pace Eddie brought on. However with ten men then it was going to be a struggle. I think we have to give Southampton credit also for changing their shape and pushing further up the pitch.

Infatuation Junkie Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) Before we were down to ten men our arses went and we were sitting deep and long balling for dear life. the occasion got to them. Hopefully it doesn’t in the final. Not slating anyone. We are in the final. That’s what matters.
