[PeterNdlovu081]

Away with ya!

*ruffles hair

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

Seriously though if someone offered me the League Cup at the cost of promotion now I would take it. I want to see us win a major trophy. Sick of us being one of the rest.

Fucking Cup Tarts

I disagree entirely. This club is on its way back and Promotion is a must. No contest.

 

[SwissBlade]

I was about to agree that it's fucking up our promotion chances....

 

[Kev Gee]

At first I was thinking. Here we go again!!

Flags fly forever. I'd take one of the two major cups over promotion every time (not that I get a choice).

I've seen 2 promotions from this league. I've never seen a cup final.

It's an interesting point. While it's great to have a Cup run and, as we saw last season, can really lift both team and fans, I think it's time for a reality check. Have you seen the teams left in the Cup? Winning it is, er, doubtful. Plus, we've made sod all financially so far.

Still, it's good to enjoy the ride - once again.

Back to where though? Championship mediocrity? At best a one season flirt with the PL?

 

[Latters]

I can see it now. Ched makes his return (to us, obviously) in a cup final and scores a late winner. Extreme feminists explode with rage and the entire British media simultaneously spontaneously combusts.

Ah, bliss.

 

[Bergen Blade]

With our big squad now, cup runs can be an advantage for us as it keeps more players match fit.

Yeah and also keeps all players involved, happier and only helps overall squad moral. Same goes for JPT.

 

[mattbianco1]

Before yesterday our next 4 games are all in different competitions:

• League Cup
• League
• FA Cup
• JPT

We're going for the quad.

Makes a change to still be in either, nevermind both the JPT & LC after August.

Good to see you have a sense of humour HG.

No. Survival In the Premiership and maybe a cup final or two.

 

[grafikhaus]

Putting the Capital Cup into perspective, yesterday West Brom and Bournemouth made ten changes each. West Brom maybe, but surely Bournemouth should be taking it seriously?

Also, I suppose both teams will be fined 'the maximum possible' for fielding weakened teams like we did v. Hartlepool? Over to you, Mr. Samuel.

 

[sitwell]

That just shows the strengths of the squads of the top teams if you look at who is left in the competition.

 

[bladesmanluke]

Unfortunately, we've got no chance. Would be nice to make it to the semis though

Magic. If there's one thing I can't wait for....its to become another Newcastle, West Ham et al.

Any idea what the prize money is for this competition?

A decent home draw in the quarters will compensate for the poor prize money if that's the case, especially if it's a live TV game

So it depends on the opposition how much we get.Well they've learnt their lesson this time in not saying any figures,propably the best way tbh,we wouldn't want to think there were going to be any game changing investment now would we
