Winning the League Cup is actually bad unless it's a part of a quadruple.

Not bad, just lame

Winning the League Cup is ~~actually bad~~ worthless to me in my IMO unless it's a part of a ~~quadruple~~ double of some sort.

Dang, we've got a classic case of some clashing IMO's it looks like. I'm just saying only winning a league cup would not be considered a good season, mainly because of how small timey it is.

i would rather win the league cup and finish 4th than finish 2nd or 3rd, i would rather win the league cup and finish 10th than not winning it and finishing 5th.

The only League Cup thing I can really remember is when Birmingham beat Arsenal in the 2011 final after they were already talking about an Arsenal quad.

group g is definitely @mocat's

I really hope the Foxes make it to the knock outs. I think they can. Arsenal may not make it to the knockouts, City should be able to fend off M'bach, and i don't think anyone in the playoffs should beat them. Spurs will be in for a fight.

That's set up pretty well for the English sides, except for City. Not sure how groups B and C can coexist in the same draw, did a few of those teams accidentally get swapped? Were BoMö and Celtic supposed to be in group B?

sunny_cat · « **Reply #14968 on:** August 25, 2016, 04:32:25 PM »

Not ideal but should be fine

I'm glad we get another Barca at Celtic, but sucks Brendan will ruin it for us.

I can't wait for Rangers to win the SPL this year so we don't have to have notoriously garbage club Celtic in UCL anymore.

a very good morning game. Will 100% put the game on my phone when i first wake up and stay in bed for awhile tomorrow. Hoping for a fun 2-2 draw between Tobias' Super Spurs and GBR FC. Watford Arsenal game will be my secondary game during the Chelsea match, and the two title favorites Man United vs Hull will be a great end to the Saturday set. I won't be sad i miss West Brom v M'Brough while I'm in church, but will be tuned in to City vs the Hammers! Good luck to all this weekend!
