I haven't been on big footy this afternoon so I have no clue what you're on about. Had your first Christmas beer?

You felt sorry for them for having to get embarassed in the semi. It's implied (unless they've got any Adebayor types) that being embarassed would make them upset about being there. So in short, no

Nonsense. Jod never said that they were upset about making the league cup semi finals. He said that there is a good chance that they will be embarrassed by City which is not an unreasonable statement considering the season they've had. I'm sure Bristol won't mind being embarrassed by City in the semis as they are clearly thrilled just to be there regardless of the result.

Probably because it's the biggest day of the clubs history and there's a good chance they'll get slaughtered by a team that's spent 100,000 times more than them. Pretty good reason to feel sorry for them.
I hope for their sake that they give City a run for their money.

They're expected to lose though so I really don't get why anyone should feel for them, and they would be thrilled with even having the remote chance of possibly making the final. Lower league sides aren't expected to do much else than get slaughtered but don't see why anyone should feel sorry for them. They enter competitions with higher league sides than them in it. Part and parcel of being in the draw to begin with

Let’s use another word, shall we:
“I feel for Bristol City because although making a semi final brings them a lot of joy I think they will be DISAPPOINTED at the final score against a rampaging Manchester City side.”
Everyone likes making a Semi Final, especially if you’re not meant to per se but no one likes getting belted even if it’s against better opposition. Schalke once made the CL Semi Final, it was the furthest they had ever gone before or since. And yet, I doubt they were pleased about losing it 6-1 over the 2 legs just because they were in the Semi Final.
I think people are being a too harsh on Jod.

Yeah that makes more sense. For a side like Bristol who I'd say probably haven't had half the domestic success Schalke have had I can't see them being to worried about the result to be fair.
Also with the other options also being top 6 sides a harsh scoreline was likely regardless. Worth it for the joy they had on the night against united I bet

They won't be disappointed regardless of the score.

Yeah, nah bro. That's nonsense. You're just making s**t up. But whatever, if you dont wanna apologise, no worries.

What's most hilarious is that they are being harsh on me for something I didnt say. It's ridiculous.

The actual 180 mins if it goes as expected will see them played right off the park. Not really fun to watch unless they want to marvel at city's excellence first hand
Again, stop playing dumb. You knew exactly what he meant, but because it's jod you (and jd) made something out of it that isn't there.
It's a "pity" to jod (and many others) in the sense that the one time in decades they do make the semis, they happen to run into and have to somehow overcome what looks like being a historically good side. But you already knew that,

I'm not playing dumb at all, and I'm also not the only person to call Jod out on this. Not really sure why the narrative these days is focussed on me in these sorts of exchanges but there you go.

Lack of s**t fights is concerning. Pool and Spurs supporters have been too quiet this season.
It’s time for an updated combined XI discussion I think.
That will quickly sort things out.

Even last season I think things were pretty tame between Pool and Spurs. I remember none of them thought they were gonna win and the game ended in a draw. Boring.
