Carabao Cup semi-final draw

[palm 1]

Saudis will beat Arsenal over 2 legs

They definitely will if Arteta doesn't take it seriously enough . Not sure if they would beat a full strength Arsenal line up .

 

[jaraarrow]

Pope,schar and Bruno all out of the first leg already,arsenal will piss it

Saudis will beat Arsenal over 2 legs

It depends how Arsenal approach it. I think they feel they owe the mags one and will be up for it. That is my hope anyway

 

[jaraarrow]

Tbh if they beat arsenal in the semis and probably Liverpool in the final they deserve to win it

Saudis will beat Arsenal over 2 legs

Based on what? I'd make Arsenal very slightly favourites. They aren't going to win the league so they can't just dismiss this tournament.

Tbh if they beat arsenal in the semis and probably Liverpool in the final they deserve to win it

Wouldn't disagree.

Not this one..he plays weakened sides

His options are limited this season though.

Gooners got to be favourites over two
Legs against lower mid-table opposition

Is the Saudi game played at Sid James or do you think they will try to get it shifted to Riyadh?

 

[Thornton]

If Liverpool get to the final, they'll win it, whoever they play.

 

[Jack Ford]

There’d be nowt funny about them playing in the final

Will be if they get smashed

 

[Nil desperandum]

If Liverpool get to the final, they'll win it, whoever they play.

As much as I can't stomach them, they should put six past that defence

Wouldn't disagree.

Based on they probably put more emphasis on CL and best PL position

This. They'd be mad to not take this seriously. It's not that often you get a chance at a final. Even for clubs like Arsenal it can turn into many years between cups if youre not careful.

 

[Wrenthorpe Mackem]

They're fairly comfortable for champions league placing. In terms of next season at least. Obviously yeah they'd prioritise progression in CL over league cup even though they've no chance of winning it.

 

[Flavonoids]

I bet the mags get f***ing spurs

 

[Boris Bear]

Will be if they get smashed

That would be relief. Nowt funny about them being in a final

I agree that Arsenal should be favourites. But, they've got a tendency to go limp, and bottle it.

Either way, mags are 4th favourites. I'd even fancy Spurs to beat them to be fair.

What's 'deserve' got to do with? If they win I'll find something to blame.

The same Spurs that tend to fall to bits against them?

I think in a final, Spurs might just compose themselves enough, and not be as "Spursy" as usual, and win it.

 

[Curly Tops]

Arsenal, Spurs or Liverpool win it , praise the Lord.

Mags win it, I'm emigrating .
