League Cup final

[moomba]

I know it's not for everyone but I reckon the league Cup is great. And the final should be a fantastic occasion.

Logic says City should win, but logic had City winning the FA Cup as the last leg of a multi last year as well.

And its not as if Sunderland havent caused us all sorts of problems over the last five years.

Will be a great occasion for both sets of fans, for Sunderland it'll be their first cup final since 1992. And I think their first visit to new Wembley. If they win it'll be their first league cup.

And for City, Wembley hasnt got boring yet despite 6 visits in the last three years. So should be a good atmosphere and heres hoping for league Cup number 3.

I'd love for us to be in the league cup final. Great day out. You going moomba ? You'd expect City to win but Europa league football is a massive carrot for Sunderland. I think it will be 1-1 at FT and City may just have too much quality for the mackems in ET.

 

[Benno_900]

Wouldn't mind City winning if only because Europa League Thursday night games have proven to be a bit of a burden on clubs.

Don't want to see Tottenham or Man Utd with a light fixture list next season.

 

[SM]

Wouldn't mind Sunderland winning so they take their eye slightly off the FA Cup. If they lose they'll be looking to respond with a huge performance in their FA Cup QF.

Like that attitude - hate this modern devaluing of the League/FA/Europa etc.
Wembley & Cardiff never got boring for me.
That said moomba, I will be going for the underdog!

 

[BlueBen]

City will smash them I reckon. Man City losing last season's FA Cup final is the worst possible news for Sunderland, as it will ensure that City are not complacent and will be extra focused this time. Lightning won't strike twice.

 

[windyhill]

Obviously would love the underdog to win , but come on moombs let's be serious, 4 or 5-1

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Haaaawwaaayyyy

 

[jod23]

Should be easy pickings for City you would think even though I will be going for Sunderland, not because I hate City just that Sunderland never win anything and it would be nice for them.

 

[Jatz]

Hoping Sunderland. Only because I love the fact that Leicester have more League Cups than City

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Bah. Games only on Setanta. Anyone that thinks winning the League Cup isn't worth anything is a clown or a plastic of a big club. Never sneeze at a trophy op.

Man City: Pantilimon, Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Kolarov, Nasri, Toure, Fernandinho, Silva, Dzeko, Aguero. Subs: Hart, Lescott, Milner, Negredo, Javi Garcia, Jesus Navas, Clichy.

Sunderland: Mannone, Bardsley, Brown, O'Shea, Alonso, Ki, Larsson, Cattermole, Colback, Johnson, Borini. Subs: Gardner, Fletcher, Celustka, Giaccherini, Vergini, Scocco, Ustari.

Aguero and Pantilimon starting, interesting.

About time Borini got played up front.

He usually plays up front for Sunderland.

 

[Dumpstar]

I've always liked the League Cup. Love the two leg semi's. Our matches in the semi with City two seasons ago were great.

Wish it was still on Fox Sports.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

He usually plays up front for Sunderland.

As in through the middle up front. He usually plays on the left wing with Altidore as the striker.

Ok. The wing is still 'up front' just so you know for future reference.

When Borini plays on the wing half the match he's closer to left back then left wing.

Well he just scored!! * off City!!

$10 for Sunderland to win is looking pretty fun now.
