I fear we'll fuck it up. We all know this team folds under pressure.

Yeah so do I, but if we don't. :shock: :D :barscarf:

It could be the beginning of something quite special.

Agreed, think winning the cup could inject a bit of belief into the players.

Might also stop the media bleating on about us not having won anything for x amount of years. :roll:

Our remaining opponents:

- West Ham

- Ipswich or West Brom

- Birmingham or Aston Villa

I've a very good feeling that AW is finally going to win the League Cup.

Makes you wonder how many domestic cups we could have won if Mr Knows had taken them seriously in the past.Strange that after 5 years without a trophy he now takes the CC seriously.

Well yeah obviously.... The pressure on him has increased massively from both the media and fans so he does now have to take the competition seriously. Back when we were winning the Premiership and FA Cup he could afford not to go for the CC. It seems obvious that now fans are getting on his back for 5 trophyless seasons that he'll actually try and win one.

See I don't really agree, he still made 9 changes and we had a similar team (in terms of the squad) to what we would have put out in the last few seasons, our squad is just stronger.

Don't really agree with either of these.

Our record for this particular trophy is really very good.

Even when he hasn't been putting out the first XI over the years, we've had what, a final and two semi finals?

We'd do well to match that if he commited to the cup every year for the next 5 years with the main squad.

Still don't mean shit in my eyes if we do win it.
