Aston Villa v Man City League Cup Final Pre Match Thread

[Stu]

Hell of a precedent that. I imagine there is an appeal process?

[AV82EC]

Financially doped wankers.

If they don't win the appeal then you'd assume Pep will be off in the summer.

Jack always wanted to play in Europe. There you go lad, no excuses now.

[Ads]

Bye bye Pep.

[Lsvilla]

Bid for Sterling after we do them in the final ? I imagine he’ll want to ply in Europe.

We'll need a new manager for next season, so everything is falling into place.

[Stu]

They'll probably want to prove a point in the final by pulverising us.

[Risso]

Looks like we’ll get the test case we wanted. I hope UEFA find some of the money Platini buried.

[LeeB]

Far too lenient, they should be forced to release their 20 top earners with immediate effect.

Wouldn't be the first time we've employed a manger that recently lost a League Cup final with Man City.

You mean against competition law? Or something?

[TonyD]

We should get the Europe spot.   

[AVH87]

We should get the Europe spot.

My thoughts exactly.

Also, once the EFL ban them from the League Cup with immediate affect we'll get our 6th win in it awarded.

[PeterWithesShin]

We should get the Europe spot.   

Even though the LC runners up never have before? It was only the FAC that could happen and that was binned a few years ago which is why we didn't play in Europe in 2015/16.
