[News] Caribou Cup Final

[SeagullsoverLondon]

Kepa with all the mind games and then ****s it up. [emoji1787]

I really think Atwell, and indeed all refs should just book keepers the first time they do the mind games, and that will stop it pretty quickly.

I can’t decide on which of the two I want to lose this more.

Chelsea. Dirty Russian money and manager is a whining knob.

A lot of the Liverpool fans won't be able to see their captain lift the trophy because of Sky's ridiculous 4.30pm kick-off. So its sleeping on Euston Station tonight for them. How considerate.

TV companies/football authorities gave up caring about supporters years ago.

Best to book PremierInn or similar for these events.

Why, last train to Liverpool is 21.28.?

Yes, they've laid on a 'late special'. However, with around approximately 10,000 fans trying to get back to Scouseland I don't see them all getting on.

Why not just have a traditional 3pm cup final? Or maybe I'm just getting old?

Madness.

It’s not like it would’ve clashed with another Sky event eg a F1 GP.

Set as late as possible for US audiences?

Oh I agree, I just checked National tail out of interest and there’s a 20.05, 20.35, 21.21, 21.28. Most will be on coaches I would think. Anyway, yes should be 3pm.

An entertaining game of football, especially since it was 0-0.

The 22 penalty shootout including the keepers topped it all off with high drama and a Kepa-sized twist.

A good advertisement for the English game and a strong reason to keep the League Cup.

Andy Townsend’s going to cry in a minute on Talksport.

Furious with Tuchel. Going on and on about it.

Hurrah, done up like a Kepa

Fair play to National Rail. I had a look at a normal Sunday and they're doing their best tonight.

They won't get back to putting their key in the door until the early hours of a Monday morning though.

Seeing their team win silverware should sweeten the pill

Is the right Answer.

I've spent the weekend procuring and fitting a new garage door, and building a new frame/panelling to suit . . . Watching the paint dry with a beer as the sun went this afternoon was better than any football I missed.

Felt the same, but decided on Chelsea because Tuchel is a whinging prick.

Not forgetting maybe some justice in the world that the Russian owned club lost. And what a bad decision to sub the keeper. Forget penalty saving stats the momentum and confidence was with Mendy who had played a blinder.

The semi-finals should be one match only though for the team drawn at home to ease a little fixture congestion. Yeah, the League Cup final was good because Citeh weren't in it for once!

And Mendy of course has already won a cup final in a penalty shootout earlier this month for Senegal against Egypt.

All In all a bizarre decision

I feel there is very little evidence that Roman Abramovich is some kind of pro-Putin Russian ultra-nationalist. During Covid, Abramovich opened up his hotels to house NHS staff while Liverpool put people on furlough. Once again not buying into the Good vs Evil bollocks.

I love to see Thomas Tuchel cry however so for that (and only that) reason I hope Liverpool win... not sure I'll watch the game though, it might collide with whatever I'll be doing instead.

He was the Governor of Chukotka from 2000 to 2008 and a member of the Duma. He was close to Boris Yeltsin and recommended Putin as his presidential successor. He also advised Putin on the members of his first cabinet in 1999. He is on the US sanctions list and he is on the Navalny 35 list of dodgy Russians.
Apart from all that he is as clean as a whistle.

I'm sure there is a "book on the internet" that will clear this all up.

Would've been interesting if he'd booked him and Kepa carried on doing it and been sent off. Doubt it's ever happened in a penalty shoot-out.
