Ye Olde League Cup Thread

Dreadful tackle by Otamendi.

There’s no place for that sort of cynicism in the game.

The linesman should not be flagging there. With VAR he should be letting play develop.

Was it offside?

Borderline.

No

Have you found out yet if the teams have to face an energy sapping 30 minutes extra time if it finishes level in regulation time?

I’m sure Sky’s equivalent of Marty Morrisey will tell us any second now.

Does anyone know the rules of this major competition?

It’s xtra time alright if it’s a draw.game any good?

Ye Olde Littlewoods Cup, and there is a regulation energy sapping 30 minutes of extra-time to follow, with penalty competition to decide the winners if necessary.

Poor Fernandinho looked like his groin had been ripped away from his pelvis there.

What are the venue options for a replay venue after 120 minutes? Unlike 1984 Maine Road a non runner.

Highfield Road would be a fair compromise in terms of distance.

The venue for the 4th and final instalment of Woolwich v Liverpool in the 1980 FA Cup semi final. That would seem like a sensible choice.

This is a golden chance for Gonzalo Higuain to slay the ghosts of the 2014 World Cup final and 2017 Champions League final, and to prove once and for all that he can be the matchwinner in a MAJOR FINAL.

Heroic Chelsea defence.

Hail Cesar.

Willy :clap:

This is a fair mess

Chelsea are a fucking shambles.

That’s Sarri gone

Sarri has had a meltdown.
