After yesterdays shit-show I can see these knocking us out.   2 quick first half goals will knock the fuck out of us. And a third and fourth in the second half ends us. 

aye fair one we won’t be up for it on Wednesday and won’t be looking to bounce back so 0-4 it is. 

[Smal]

yeah this isn’t going to go very well is it

[Turnbull2000]

Fuck me, hope it's just at much City being atrocious today. We're not really strong enough to sustain a challenge for CL places, so a huge amount is resting on a league cup final.

 

Can see us being 2 nil down by half time.

Owt can happen. Different atmosphere and stakes. Players cba with routine games but seem to be happier playing games where they are against it. 

[dave s]

we will be up for this. defend well and take the breaks that come 

[The Prophet]

Ah, I was starting to miss the smell of amonia.

[Hanshithispantz]

3-0 win

[HaydnNUFC]

Score draw I reckon. IIRC people felt similar going into the Liverpool game back in December, seeing them dismantle Man City at home in their preceding game funnily enough. Just hope the crowd are up for it.

This one's definitely a bet against us to soften the blow if it happens match I reckon. 

 

My blow-softener is not having to fork out silly money to get into the final.

Can have all the confidence boost they like but in the end they will get battered off the park in Weds. Big Joe with the clincher

[midds]

For those of a nervous disposition you can get odds of 5/1 for Arsenal to qualify. I'm just saying, I don't make the numbers up, I'm just passing it on 

[Ginola14]

we've been such a soft touch at home this season I think Arsenal will be quite confident 

 

our lot won't know whether to stick or twist whereas they'll just go for it 

 

hope the crowd can help lift the team but suspect they'll he nervy as fuck like me

I would have thought this game would make me more worried considering it’s 4-1. But Arsenal have looked uncharacteristically open for a lot of the game. 
 

From 15 mins or whatever until City scored. I thought City were miles the better team. Just the usual poor defending and shooting themselves in the foot from City. 
 

Looking for the positives  

[Miggys First Goal]

Didn’t want to make the final anyway. 

[Magic Rat]

Current odds on Arsenal winning the Carabao Cup is 7/5.  We are 6/1.

[M1tche]

As long as Botman plays, we'll be through. 

[Miggys First Goal]

Need the power of…

 

[Adam]

Everyone needs to turn up to this like they did for PSG at home. No nervous moaners just 90+ minutes of support. If you're not going to sing give your ticket to someone who will. 

[PauloGeordio]

Brilliant. They'll come into Wednesday over confident! Drury please shut up.

[TRon]

Honestly if we can't defend a 2-0 lead at home then we don't deserve to go through.

 

As I'm saying this, Arsenal have just scored a 5th against Man City.

 

But fuck em, they are using up all their goals today, we are keeping ours back for Wednesday.

They've had one shot on target and offered next to fuck all the last two times they've been up here and Man City are shite. We'll win the match on Wednesday.
