View from the Away End - Carabao Cup
Posted: Tue Sep 24, 2024 9:53 amI am still processing the fact that Rodri may well be out for the rest of the season, and not really in the mood for another game tonight. There is no difference in these comments to any for our premier league games, maybe they are just a little bit more pessimistic. I am staying home for this one, but still hope to celebrate a win at 10 o’clock.
COME ON CITY!!!
Referee: Robert Jones
Assistants: Darren Cann and Adrian Holmes
Fourth Official: Martin Atkinson

Louza Dele-Bashiru Sissoko
Baah Bayo
And the rest…
Very rich, cheating club with grubby, human rights abusing owners v club with grubby owners. A pointless fixture cooked up to keep the big boys in the competition as long as possible. Just give City a bye and save us the misery, ticket cost and petrol money.
I'm not even going to predict a score, but it will be Man City (something) Watford (nothing).
115 – 0
We’d have to beat them in the final to win it anyway, may as well get them out of the way now.
You'd imagine City will have to rest most of their starting XI from yesterday so we should avoid getting battered by six plus, perhaps we'll be lucky and keep the loss down two or three. If Haaland for some reasons starts then I genuinely fear how many our defence will concede…City with Haaland 7-0 Watford - City without Haaland 3-0 Watford.
I hope we batter the soulless club, we won't but I can always live in hope.
Maybe it's time to play the formation displayed in Watford's pre-match social media graphics. Four in goal, four in defence and three in midfield. No need for any strikers, just play for a penalty shoot-out.
City spend more on Lawyers' wages to fend of the points deduction than we do on paying our players.
Anyone attending this needs professional help.
They've come out incredibly butthurt and in their feelings all over the media in the wake of the Arsenal draw - they seem rattled in a way they basically haven't previously under Pepple.
Accusing another team of using 'dark arts' en masse is both so clearly choreographed and unbelievably laughable, given how rotational fouling and the other associated 'dark arts' have been the recognisable stock in trade of this City incarnation on the pitch just as much as off it. Not sure whether this means we will be given a historic spanking even by the metrics of a team given a record-equalling historic spanking by them in the final of the world's oldest cup competition in front of millions of viewers, or whether it might help us achieve a heroic loss of 3 goals or fewer. Either way, we should remember that we are a fairly shyt Championshyt team and give them according treatment. 'Dark arts', indeed.
