A squad the size of ours isn't one that should have to 'focus' on one thing or the other. When you spend as much as we do and possess the embarrassment of talent we can boast you go for the lot. Anything less isn't acceptable.

I'd agree but this is the COC we're talking about, hardly important.

by iNFINITY9910 Thu Sep 26, 2013 4:54 am

But Mata plays in it.. we should win.

Arteta sent off for Le Arse today for a professional foul against Palace. Will miss the COC game against us on Tuesday.

The evening's other results.

We should be the clear favourite for this now.

IMO, we should try to win it. Get Some Silverware in Jose's second case early on, just like his first stint. Only Utd will be hard and under Moyes, they look lost.

City still to play Newcastle tomorrow, don't forget.

by Kick Wed Oct 30, 2013 3:28 am

Same City that we beat on the weekend? :coffee:

Hopefully we have a manchester derby in the next round Razz

So the draw for the quarterfinals will be coming up after the Newcastle-City game is over. Will post the full draw once it's done.

by Shed Wed Oct 30, 2013 10:27 pm

Sunderland or Southampton away for us in the quarters.

by Soul Wed Oct 30, 2013 11:44 pm

Not too bad I guess. I'd rather play Sunderland though. I was hoping the Manchester clubs drew each other

by Shed Wed Oct 30, 2013 11:56 pm

As were we all Mad

by Kick Thu Oct 31, 2013 8:24 am

We should beat either team so I don't really mind who we face.

Oh wait...now it's 2-1....

by Shed Wed Nov 06, 2013 9:40 pm

But it ends 2-1 and Sunderland are indeed through to face us in the next round cheers

Much rather them than Southampton.

by Kick Wed Nov 06, 2013 11:45 pm

Good result for us, looks like We'll be facing Poyet.

by Shed Wed Nov 06, 2013 11:53 pm

Ex-Blue Gus Poyet looking forward to facing Chelsea:
Gus Poyet is looking forward to going head-to-head with Jose Mourinho as Sunderland booked a Capital One Cup quarter-final clash with former club Chelsea

"I suppose that's good news, yes?"

"Look, they are the games I need to enjoy. In quarter-finals, you can't ask for any small team, you know you are going to get one of the big ones."

"It's going to be special for me - an official game against Chelsea is always very special - so I am looking forward to seeing Jose and company."

"Of course, it's a cup competition, you need to win. Everybody knows a quarter-final is something we haven't achieved for many, many years, which is great for the football club."

"We are playing Chelsea, which is going to be special here at home."

by Motogp69 Thu Nov 07, 2013 1:23 am

Even better, Sunderland actually look a better side under Poyet. Obviously, ignoring the 2 red card performance this past weekend.

by Shed Thu Nov 07, 2013 1:25 am

As well as his debut match annihilation at the hands of Laudsy :coffee:

by Shed Tue Dec 17, 2013 10:59 pm

Shitty to walk this thing now.

Oh well. Suppose we can retire this thread. Don't think anyone gives a toss about it now that we're out.

by iNFINITY9910 Wed Dec 18, 2013 3:09 am

Better I think Very Happy
