Football Banter Thread (2nd Half)

Would take a miracle for Kane to get a yellow.

That late barge on Kepa is a clear yellow
 
That was an interesting bit of reffing. Actually pretty good to go relook at it. He clearly pushes back, glances his shoulder and mistakenly pushes Emerson’s face.

My man. I was swearing at the Tv like a fool. Definitely not a red - but I’m sure you know which side I’m rooting for.

Hands on face is an automatic red by the letter of the law. The Tottenham player should have also been sent off, if the ref stood behind the initial red card.

I know this is the banter thread but I’ll give an honest answer anyway.
To me it’s a confidence and hunger building when it comes to the bigger teams. Nice to win something early in the season, to spur you on.

If it is a season you had big expectations and come out only with a league cup, then it is a disappointment.

Jose, in his first stint with Chelsea started with a league cup.
SAF’s last dominating period also started with a league cup after a few barren years.

So it is not in itself a big success, but recognised silverware nonetheless.

More recently Mourinho won the League Cup and the Europa League with United and was sacked at the end of the following season

This is true, but there was a massive breakdown between manager, owners and then players.
In his first stint at Chelsea, he was fresh, had his soldiers and built something with that team, until it fell apart.

United over the last decade haven’t had the best football structures, only recently appointing a DOF.

I’m not saying it guarantees future success, but that’s the only significance I see with this trophy.
Let’s see what Ten Hag does with it!
