League Cup Round 3

[Percy McCarthy]

They're playing Real Madrid and Arsenal on the 23rd? We have a chance!

[Richard C]

ManUre away.

Ohh, off the bar.

[RossLeach]

The ties are to be played the week commencing the 24th September.  Citeh's fixtures around then are:

23/09 Real Madrid (a)
23/09 Arsenal (h)
??/?? Us
29/09 Fulham (a)
03/10 Borussia Dortmund (h)

So I doubt the chumps leagues is going to have much impact on the team they put out but I'd still expect a 2nd string.

I don't know whether to be pleased that it looks like they'll be distracted or depressed that they get to play Real and Dortmund....

[Phil from the upper holte]

Do we think Lambo will go for it or throw it?

[Drummond]

I just clicked on this thread again as I couldn't remember who we got. Then I realised why I'd put it out of my mind. Bollocks.

Not a problem for them as  they have more than enough players to put out two first teams plus subs!

Any news on free coach travel?

[The Man With A Stick]

Nothing to fear, they couldn't give two hoots about the Rumbelows Cup.

Excellent. I thought it would be the Wednesay as they play Arsenal on the Sunday, so two games in three days. Saying that, even their 'second' team looks bloody good:

.............Balotelli(Dzeko)......Sinclair...........

Milner...................................Suarez

...............Razak.........Barry..............

Rekik.........Nastasic.....Kolo......Maicon

....................Pantilimon...................

Rubbish draw again.  Even before the money we have always struggled up there.

Just saw a link to this vid on twitter Gabby with the perfect hat-trick and Man City had Ched Evans up front, only four years ago it's amazing how things change.

This did nothing but depress me.

Same. I think the near full Villa Park with the whole Lower Holte standing is what depressed me the most though.

I remember watching that game in a bar in Florida. There was a "bigger" game on the main screen and ours was on a small telly that me and a cluster of Man City fans were sat around. It was just as news was breaking of Shinatwa's misdealings and I remember the City fans were saying they'd be facing a tough time to stay up, some of them really worried about the future of the club. They also broached that they saw us as the most likely team to break into the Champions League places. Only four years ago.
