I understand your view. My point was a lot of fans saying they didn't care,didn't take it seriously. That makes no sense we're not exactly trophy laden and with teams like City and PSG spending a fortune it seems foolish to not take a trophy opportunity when one comes along. From my perspective the league cup is the best chance to win a trophy for any club. That includes us.

Yawn. Suggest you fuck off back to KUMB, its getting boring now.
No one is making you stay weirdo..
Its just a case of finding the fans who can have adult conversations. I'm happy to stay til I find them
I'll tell you whats getting boring....you.
I don't think the league cup is beneath us so I must be a West Ham fan. I suppose those who agreed with my posts are West Ham fans too. You're a bellend mate.
This competition needs to be retired, Carabao have taken it new levels of cringeworthy-ness. The draw today was a total farce:

It's an embarrassment to be associated with it and I want us out as early as possible next year.

Took 4 points from City last season and just drew away to RM without our first 11.

I'm not suggesting its impossible to beat them in one off games. I think over the season or competition they have the players to be more consistent.
Here's what concerns me. We are not a lot better than last season and we won nothing. We're up against teams this season who are far better than last season and have won stuff. We need to at least keep pace. I fear we're not

I don’t mind being wrong - I really don’t, but you have to provide some evidence beyond your opinion. Maybe ‘irrelevant’ is too strong a word, but l don’t believe every manager in the league believes they can win the competition with the teams they put out. No way are they making the case that they can win it with weaker teams they field - that’s entirely subjective. No manager would dare come out and say they think the competition is irrelevant, they are obliged to compete in it after all, but many, I would bet - especially the bottom 10 club managers would privately admit that it’s a nuisance. I admit that’s entirely subjective as well.
You're in the wrong place for that.. don't moan about what goes on here, if you don't like it go and join the Guardian forum and discuss Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development or similar.
So there was a huge delay all the top teams missed eachother and charlton where drawn twice.
Wow definitely no dodgy betting opportunities at all here folks
We are not beggars. We have grown as a club by showing ambition beyond trying to win the league cup. If cup competitions get sidelined by that ambition I’m not going to complain. Like many people I was at the 2008 final, and whilst it was brilliant to win I enjoyed last season so much more. I do appreciate that others feel differently though.
Last season we accumulated 86 points. ‘Not a lot better’ would point to 90. That would be enough to win the league.
No ill stay here and moan thanks.
Its like I said Man City are a lot better this season they look unstoppable.
It don't seem a lot but they're 5 and a half points(with goal difference) ahead of us. The problem is that's 2 losses before we can take them That's assuming we have a 100% record. 2 losses is a lot for a team like City and a 100% record is virtually impossible for anyone. I understand draws and that can play a factor. But the point I'm making is it already looks a really tricky task.
They looked unstoppable at the beginning of last season as well. I’m not suggesting the same thing will happen again, but we are the best equipped team to chase them down and they know it. Beat them twice and there’s your 5 and a half points back. They haven’t beaten us for 2 seasons. Why should that notion be considered absurd?
Every team looks unstoppable until they are stopped. First it was man u. City last season were being crowned in October. City can stumble we can swoop nothing is written.
I hope the players get over this defeat quicker than some on here....There is a big game on Saturday or has nobody noticed?
Win some , lose a few thats football. COYS
