oh wow that is fantastic news! just read a few comments saying they were suspended and assumed the worst 

I fear if they are wiped after QF, then both still suspended as received in QF. Maybe wrong though

Howe: "Disappointed with the bookings and to lose two key players in Bruno and Schar [for the semi-final] but it goes with the territory. We are competitive and encourage the intensity so you can't have everything."

 

Unless you're Chelsea or another cartel club

the league cup has some odd rules 

 

2 yellows = suspension 

 

red cards in cup carry over into league, but league suspension don't carry over into cup 

 

2 leg semis (which I support)

 

no var until semis (which doesn't really make sense) 

 

clubs in Europe getting a bye into 3rd round AND then being guaranteed not to draw each other (for this season) 

 

at least it's somehow still relevant I suppose

Away first and then potentially have something to chase at SJP second leg or first leg at home and hopefully have something to hold onto away?

 

Think I'd go the first option 

Defo the first for me too. Goal down going into the game at home, crowd will be bang up for it.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Everywhere I look it says that yellow cards are cleared after the quarter finals. I went as far as downloading the EFL cup rules document - which makes no mention of yellow cards! 

 

Yet I see multiple people saying Bruno and schar will miss out.

 

Can someone confirm and provide a source for the yellow cards handling?

The cartel seen we were winning so quickly wrote to the CEO of Carabao demanding a change in the rules to hamper us

Those suspensions have put a bit of a dampener on things. We need to be full strength to have much hope of beating any of the potential remaining opponents. 

 

Such silly yellow cards to get aswell from both of them. Although the ref was handing them out like confetti first half.

You'd think spurs hadn't won a trophy for as long as us the way some people go on. Was only 2008 since they won a cup

Always found this so strange, there can't be that many clubs that have won a cup since Spurs last won a trophy. Shite meme made by fans of the cartel fans probably.

Don't really fancy us in the semis at all.

 

Hopefully Man Utd get through tomorrow and we draw them. Would fancy 9,000 of our lot to make it like a home game.

 

Any of the other 3 beats us with ease over 2 legs imo

Behave.

Same thing would happen to us if we finally won the league cup. Media would belittle it and make out it's not a serious trophy and would continue to claim we have won anything "major" in years, like they are doing with Spurs.

Leicester Wigan and Swansea the only 3 I can think of outside the other "big 5" to have won a trophy since spurs did
