EFL Cup / League Cup

It was played on Christmas Day until the 80s.

Not to mention this from several years back.

No upsets from the ties that were played yesterday.

Won’t bother watching but hopefully that can change today.

Southampton
Leicester
Wolves
Newcastle
ManU
Forest
Charlton

all made the next round.

Love how the draw is done right after our game. If City win they can pick out Charlton. If we win they can pick out Utd.

Couldn’t care less about the draw for the next round but I hope the two legged semi final will be City vs ManU

On earth is there to shake up with the Community Shield? It’s 1 game for crying out loud.

It’s very simple, scrap replays entirely (ET + pens is fine)
All teams in Prem field u21 sides in Carabao Cup (giving lesser sides a chance)
Leave the FA cup alone
Oh and fuck off any suggestions Todd Boehly.

Simple game is football, made complicated be pretentious peoples sat in fancy chairs dressed in suits and ties.

Todd Boehly’s fantasy is getting way too much air time in that article considering the unknown club is evidently him.

Anyhow I wish they were discussing stuff like this: EFL will consider lifting Saturday 3pm blackout in next TV deal | Football League | The Guardian

Fidget spinner puts united 1-0 up against mighty League One Charlton.

Newcastle v Leicester on sky, Newsandcastle dominating but Leicester dangerous on the counter attack.

Newcastle always putting pressure on the ball. Seems to be one of their strengths.

Just saw this article from back in April that says 15 PL players failed drugs tests between 2015-2020 but no one was banned. Wonder how many have failed since then? https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/premier-league-failed-drugs-test-26730023

Anyway, on a completely unrelated note, isn’t it amazing how good Newcastle have become in the space of one year? Weird thing is most of the players are the same ones who struggled to avoid relegation. Oh well, it’s a mystery.
