EFL Finalists; Man Utd Watch.

He didn't even play that well. Got given two decisions & the tap in, well the least said about that the better.

 

That makes the most sense.

 

Nah, we weren't good enough and didn't score enough makes the most sense.

 

I seem to remember something from school (Springhill RC) about god favouring the children of Israel?

Thought he might put that aside as we are The Saints, but apparently not.

 

I meant in the overall sense.

 

Umm what? I think you mean in the respective away games don't you? Away goals in the head to head was the tiebreaker.

 

Two draws, they scored one away goal, we didn't. Anyway, its worked out okay, hasn't it?

 

Yeah the fact we even have this thread has more than made up for the Be'er Sheva debacle.


Now let's win the bloody thing!!!

 

Yep, going to Arsenal & Liverpool and winning, it would be rude not to finish the job now.

 

We need to win not only because the most exciting period in the club's recent history deserves to be crowned with a trophy. This journey started with the JPT at Wembley, and now we have the opportunity to bookend our ascent from League 1 with the EFL Cup. But we also need to win because this is our only route back into Europe next season; and this club deserves to play in Europe.

 

Bookend suggests "end"..... this is just the continuation of the journey

But, yeah we gotta win it.

 

It certainly seems like the next natural step in our progression.

**** me am I getting excited!

 

There's more than one shelf in the trophy cabinet Fats, so room for more than one pair of bookends. If that hasn't strained the metaphor beyond repair .

 

Just noticed... United are playing the return in France on Wednesday with a 17:00 ko

Anyone know why? Never noticed EL games on a Weds before... 3 next week and they're one, bloody typical that!!

 

Happens every year when EL reaches the knockout rounds. Because the CL schedule is staggered (only 2 matches per day, both airing at 19:45), they move some of the EL matches to an earlier kickoff on Wednesdays, with the CL matches airing in the evening.

 

Yeah but I thought they played all games on Thursdays, how long have they been playing on Wednesdays full stop?

Don't think there were any EL games yesterday for example.

 

Started last year as far as I'm aware. I remember being confused as all bejeezus that they had an EL match on a Tuesday, and they had another on the Wednesday of the second leg.

 

Ah I see. Don't remember that, though I probably didn't pay the EL much attention last season if I'm honest. But yeah I was very confused earlier to see they're playing Wednesday instead of Thursday.

 

We also need to win it to please all the fans who want Jose and Manure to realise that they are not Gods gift to football.

 

Is Sam fit to play against Utd, would like to watch the lad play
