Carabao Cup 2023/24

[Lineker]

Man Utd vs. Crystal Palace is the TV game tonight; Newcastle vs. Man City tomorrow.

I would like to thank the collective footballing world for deciding that no one anywhere will be broadcasting Chelsea vs. Brighton, thus preventing me from being tempted to find a stream and the self-harm that entails.

The Carabao Cup is a great opportunity for a small team like Chelsea to put a bit of a run together and give the fans some fun days out. There’s a decent chance teams like Brighton might be distracted by their European commitments.

Not even on the radio this time! Watching a random Instagram livestream will be the only option for the most masochistic fans (who aren't already in attendance).

See, the reason this joke doesn't land isn't because of "small team", but rather the concept of us putting a run together just isn't conceivable.

Curious what @Lineker has to say about that Luton Town result.

Zero shocks here, Luton are dogshit.

Playing Man City with a Benitez/Bruce CB partnership is an interesting call. Not hopeful.

[stokeriño]

Oh fuck, a stream of the Chelsea game does exist.

Sigh...

This might be premature but currently it looks like the Villa squad have had their powers stolen ala Space Jam.

[stokeriño]

No goals yet and Chelsea would absolutely be down to 10 men if this cup had VAR, because our players are just fucking liabilities.

CHELSEA FOOTBALL CLUB HAVE SCORED A GOAL

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

If they didn't have sweaty kits it would have been a different story

What a bleak time to be a Man City fan. Once again, they can only win three major trophies in a season.

This must be what they were pessimistic about in that fans survey.

Completely unrelated to tonight’s performance (which was awful), those kits are horrendous. As much as things are going well for us on the pitch (on the whole), some of the off field decision making lately has been real questionable.

Paul Dummett is a wall.

[Colly]

I was unnecessarily pessimistic. Fucking great second half.

FYI if anyone wants to go to a Newcastle game in the near future just turn up 10 minutes before kickoff and wave anything resembling a barcode at the turnstile guy. That's how well e ticketing is going.

[stokeriño]

Chelsea v Blackburn, decent.

(Man Utd v Newcastle & West Ham v Arsenal, lol)

[Kyle]

Would have liked a lower league team but Burnley at home will do me.
