[ChipButtyBlade]

Jesus

 

[knowsnowt]

FFs.

 

[jt64]

Concentrate on league now

 

[loyalblade95]

Keeper off his line for Marsh penalty.

 

[Yarrayering]

And 50 pence foot... Shite

 

[fifty shades of blade]

I really couldnt care less about a mickey mouse cup. However that pen from Egan was aids

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

Toughest League Cup second round in 30 years.

Last night suggested so. Tonight has PROVED it.

Fact.

 

[Lightsoot]

Keeper off his line for Marsh penalty.

Aye, but what a shit powder puff penalty it was.

 

[71Blade]

Some very poor pens ... Pass backs put your bloody laces through it FFS

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Useless

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Our team hadn't even the fucking decency to applaud the fans who watched a fucking terrible performance.

 

[carthesis]

Couldnt give less of a shit about going out of the League Cup really. All this talk about it being our best chance to win a trophy is fever dream chat...

It is annoying from the perspective of not being able to use this game to get a result to see if we can kickstart things a bit however.

 

[XADE]

Good, let the moaners have their hour, onto the league.

 

[MagnifiqueShorehamStreet]

Any decent players with options,thinking of signing for us, in the next 2 days, will choose elsewhere, surely.

 

[RobboBlade]

Bet Lincoln draw Mansfield

 

[LexBlade89]

Lost to the imps... really?

 

[The_Wrexham_Cartel]

You should see the penalty awarded Bradford last night. Softer than a Mr Whippy ice cream

 

[Jan Age]

Whilst not overly disappointed with the loss.

I find it frightening that Mcburnie and Archer haven’t threatened a league 1 defence all night

 

[CyloCybin]

Honestly not bothered about being out of this cup so we can focus on the league, but a really poor performance overall

 

[DronnieBlade]

2 things.

1. Couldn’t give 2 fooks about the exit from the Egg cup. Insignificant in the extreme and could well end up doing us a favour.

2. We are in deep shit. This squad is not good enough to compete in the Championship never mind the PL.

UTB

You can feel them waiting at their keyboards, hoping we lose a penalty shootout in the ronald mcdonald mr tumble cbeebies cup

 

[loyalblade95]

Aye, but what a shit powder puff penalty it was.

Just baffles me, if that happens outside of a penalty shootout you retake the penalty, same for encroachment. Surely something should be done about it in shootouts, not sure what they could do about it though.

 

[Yarrayering]

Concentrate on league now

Brilliant

 

[Greg.]

Time to agree with the pigs then

 

[gaffablade]

Four straight losses does nothing for confidence!!!

We should have been up for this and got a win.

Thought we might have learnt lessons from our last season in the PL

Very Disappointing

 

[1987]

We don't have the squad for a cup run in fairness. Would have been nice to break the losing habit, but Everton look like they'll give us every opportunity at the weekend.

Don't think winning the 'Man City Cup' was a high priority for us this season.

 

[jono_t2000]

Don't care about going out.

My main concern is how Norwood is getting deeper and deeper every year.

Think despite all the midfield signings we've made we are still going to miss not having Doyle.

It should have been taken again, but based on his first attempt, Marsh would have shit his pants again. It’s ok doing it against 100 fans in the U21’s.

 

[Wetwang blade]

Jeeeeeesus. Can't get into Europe by this route now. At least Will Osula is off the mark.
