League Cup Final 2026. 17:39 - Mar 22 with 4248 viewsBushRanger82

A full house at Wembley, both sets of fans dreaming of winning the cup, for the umpteenth time.
And no wonder, when teams like ours, with that trophy our only major honour in our 140 year existence, a win we commerorate every 4th March, we go and put out a team of kids in the first round, to bloody league one Plymouth, and lose, predictably.
We have to stop that.
Otherwise, teams like the two enjoying a good day out Wembley, will think we're a tinpot club.

City can forget getting any decisions to go their way with Trossard reffing the game.

I was watching it at my local, so couldn't really hear the commentary, which was probably a good thing. Two best teams in the country apparently.........

If anyone in the Committee of Extremely Pompous People Who Run Football had any interest in being radical, the League Cup would be changed to be the 72 EFL clubs only, which would bin off the EFL Trophy in the process (and all the nonsense of Prem U-21 teams being involved) and have it as a big cup for teams from the Championship to League Two.

If you kept the European spot too (unlikely, even in the pipe dream of this radicalness) we'd find teams at our level actually taking it seriously.

Failing that, merge all the secondary cup competitions in the British Isles and have one singular Anglo cup. Away day at Hibernian, I'd be all over that.

They kept showing him looking more and more glum but never explained why he was sitting in the stand instead of dominating on the field .
But look on the bright he has gone from missing the plane to America to maybe in the starting 11 for England with his play last month or so

Eze was not in Arsenal's squad because of a lower leg injury.

And he's been withdrawn from the England squad to be replaced by Barnes*

Probably the delayed tsunami effect from how hard he hit that ball on Wednesday!

He pulled up lame against the Germans and was subbed.

Arsenal's performance was on a par with the losing side in the league cup 40 years ago. Is Arteta a bottler? We'll see soon enough.

Show him outside onto his wrong foot and he hasn’t got a clue. One trick pony. Manduake is a far better option.

Glad to see Arse lose. A mate of mine is a diehard gooner and he has been intolerable over the last six months. Hopefully they will blow the lot.

I thought Rice and Saka in particular were really poor for Arsenal second half. When the going gets tough, you want your big players to say, ‘right we are not having this’ and try to turn it around. Instead they both disappeared. It was like it’s ‘only’ the league cup. I want them to win the league because I don’t want City to win it again, but based on yesterday’s performance, it ain’t over yet. FOOTNOTE: How far has Foden’s stock fallen, a cameo couple of minutes at the end. He needs to leave City so he can express himself somewhere else. Waste of a great talent.

Feels like Saka as with many exciting young players is having it coached out of him. Occasionally cuts inside and has a shot but seems to mostly now just shield the ball and hope the ref gives him a soft foul.

The way Manduake started the season he should have been a shoe-in for the right side of England's atrack.

On their day, he's a better player than Saka. However, as the latter has sugned a lucrative contract and been made captain, if I was Manduake I'm not sure I'd be hanging around to play second fiddle to a bloke I'm better than!

Much as I’m not keen on this Arsenal team I do quite like Madueke. Doesn’t play safe. Beat the full-back and get the ball into an area someone might score a goal.

Does my head in with QPR often and at lower levels too but it’s much worse with the ‘elite’. Recycle possession, work it inside, move it to the other wing, repeat, wait until there’s an xG opportunity of at least 0.4572 or repeat again.

Hope its just a strain or something small Eze was just hitting his top form and a big few months for Arsenal.
Harvey Barnes from Newcastle an excellent player is the guy with the great goal celebration I was talking about (pulling arrows from a quiver and shooting them ) but he is no Eze

We just had a very interesting conversation on the Vale call up for ROI on here and I was drinking with a few Irish people Saturday and this was their point.
England have at least 2 if not 3 players for each midfield and forward spot.Not going to name them all but there is simply not enough spots for all the talent they have and even if they get into the 22 or 26 or whatever gets on the plane to the WC quiet a few are not getting a shirt.Thats leaving at least another 11 at home completly who would probably make other International sides at least ROI ,Scotland ,Wales and NI if they qualified.
All pretty much financially secure just looking to play International football and the exposure that comes with it .Cannot blame them looking around because England are stacked with youngish talent right now
