Isaac Jenkins
eddie howe plays absolutely dire teams in the cups, wouldn't be too surprised to see birmingham batter them
Cameron James
Christ, they haven't even considered many of the young lads pushed into the first team bench.
Last night we played 16 year old boys against a PL reserve team to fulfill the fixture, lost 6-0
>7 debuting players >6 pro appearances across the whole squad >average age is 20 >Brian Lenihan the experienced Captain of the side, with 1 appearance at 23 years old
Slutsky probably doesn't even know who half of them are.
Hope we get a massive fucking fine, EFL are feckless but they like that sort of thing.
Xavier Wilson
Watford are a good shout, they never do that well in Cup competitions and Bristol City have been pretty strong so far.
Ian Ward
Looks more like a line-up in the Checkatrade.
Only positive is it's experience for them. Except Weir of course because he was a bust on arrival. Won't be surprised if he doesn't feature in the league again.
Luke Price
>tfw we aren't starting at 1-0 up We need UEFA rules in domestic matches about abandonments
Joseph Young
>Bristol City have been pretty strong so far they could be so much better with a competent manager in charge
Henry Baker
Don't worry, Englands brave Keinan Davis will fuck Bristol up
Guide me to what will be the best match, bongs. I need to kill a few hours before bedtime. Will any be better than Napoli - Nice?
Oliver Sullivan
yep
Carter Anderson
Only one game is on TV.
Julian Martin
>Lineker spends 5 minutes on MotD wanking off about how good Big Harry is, then another 5 minutes on how good Andy Robertson was for Liverpool >"Makes you wonder how Hull managed to get relegated"
Like being stabbed in the heart
Liam Young
yes mike brown
Matthew Brown
>Milk Cup >Littlewoods Cup >Rumbelows Cup >Coca Cola Cup >Worthington Cup >Carling Cup >Capital One Cup >Generic shit tasting energy drink #657 with something resembling a bull on the can Cup
Time to scrap this shit competition, it's overstayed its welcome for about 30 years.
Ryder Morales
It only got invented to make money to pay for floodlights anyway
Grayson Long
They don't actually watch games, do they.
Oliver Bennett
I only learned recently Carabao are a huge rock band in Thailand.
Asher Reed
Are they named after the energy drink?
Zachary Diaz
Bramall Lane packed to the rafters, should be a white hot atmosphere.
if it weren't for your shitty netto ground the reds would be playing tonight
It's only a bit of water for fuck sake you should be used to it by now considering most of what your town does is aquatic to some degree
Jackson Lopez
>that
Blake Robinson
Your soon to be FOUR TIME League Cup Champions.
Alexander Lewis
...
Jack Jackson
No interest outside of their own ex-clubs whatsoever, other than a few piped lines of shitty analysis. Stealing a living.
Josiah Morales
>Sup Forums goes to their first football match
Brandon Thompson
>there are people not listening to their match on their local radio
Adam Robinson
Phwoar, this is a blue board mate.

Jack Robinson

Ayden Allen
Student city with a lot of chinese people about in the city centre
Tyler Brown
I've never been to Craven Cottage even close to sober, so whenever I see a picture of it I'm like, is that really what it looks like?
Blundell Park is genuinely even worse. You're in a corner, with about 20 pillars blocking your view and when the wind comes off the North Sea it's absurdly cold in there.
Andrew Gray
the same reason ade akinbiyi was
no fucker knows
Carson Powell
Burnsy and his bin. Can't imagine the relief at being able to say what he wants now he's past the point of worrying.
Brody Lee
Centre isn't too bad if you don't go beyond the bottom of fargate
Jackson Brown
In fiarness few away sections are good, why give your opponents a better place to sit than your own fans?
Angel Miller
unless we get one of the top top teams in the cup im done with london away days
Nathan Morgan
>Eddie Meme's Relegation Machine JUST LOOK AT THAT DEFENDING
ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING
Aiden Gray
fucking hell he's done the exact same thing again
Owen Reyes
At least it used to be, and still is at plenty of grounds, that you got one of the stands behind the goal.
Filling in the corners between stands was a mistake.
Robert Miller
That Brooks kid looks decent
Jordan Taylor
>Own goal What the fug.
Charles Stewart
0-1 ffs should have gone
Connor Bennett

fucking horrible city
Leeds will forever be the superior Yorkshire city
Kayden Jackson

Jackson Lee
The Emptyside looking as packed as ever
Austin Hill
>Leeds will forever be the superior Yorkshire city
Xavier Ortiz

Jordan Morales
They Musa had a lot in their minds
Jordan Powell
>LOSING TO FRANCHISE >DUH SWUNZ
Jose Howard

Wyatt Cox

Daniel Edwards
Is this the Carabao Cup thread?
Michael Young
I-It's not over yet...
Jack Hill
>OFFICIAL LEAGUE CUP SECOND ROUND THREAD
no
Thomas Diaz
Small but comfy centre. The shopping is shit because Meadowhell was built and drained the life out of it in the 90s.
A couple of parts of the centre have been under reconstruction for over 10 years (right before the financial crash). Tories pulled money out on day 1 of Cameron's government. New buildings have only really appeared in the last year.
>council and police are corrupt as fuck. >huge proportion of the city are students >locals are very friendly and funny if a bit cynical. >employment opportunities are absolute toss. >South west of of the city is beautiful and incredibly rich, right next to the peak district >South east is a lot of affordable suburbs >North is a mass of council houses >North east is where the pakis live and is incredibly depressing.
