Saints v Wolves League cup

So what do we have going on here then?

a complete second string or a team to beat the living daylights out of them for putting 3 past our youngsters last night?

for me a 2-0 home win

Team not a clue.

3-1 to the mighty Saints

Lineup will feature some players that didn’t play over the weekend but not too much of the yoof!!

I think it safe to assume that those who havent really featured yet, or have only come on as sub, will get a game. As I am bored at work I will take a punt on the team being:

McCarthy

Pied, Bednarek, Yoshida, Targett/McQueen

PEH, Romeu

Boufal, JWP, Long

Austin

I could make a case for Lemina and Clasie playing alongside PEH but for reasons I cannot be arsed to venture, I will stick with the above.

What do I win @philippinesaint if I am right?!

:laughing:

The glory of knowing you are correct and I will get you a free vote in chutters new name poll

Wolves are a pretty good outfit this season and if we are not on our game we will get dicked.

I’ll go for:

McCarthy

Pied Stephens Yoshida Targett

Lemina Hojberg

JWP Boufal Long

Austin

You would hope that Wolves will do the Decent Thing, and put out a bag of shite second string also.

Should be alright but Wolves have had a fair few quid thrown at them recently so I wouldn’t take a win for granted.

You’d have to assume that they’ll be as distracted as we are though - what with their challenging for promotion. Think it’ll be a bit like the Saints/Norwich 1-0 in the FA cup back in January where neither side is all that fussed and we just about muddle through.

1-0 scrappy saints win.

Let’s improve our shooting eh Cedric?

Dull boring 0-0 only chazza scoring a penalty and McArty only saving 3.

And I’m not going to the pub and we won’t find a stream

Might give it a listen via the club website, but it’s not floating my boat at the mo’

Dull 1:0 win with +29 shots off target :dart:

5-0

Lots of tickets left. £10.

If they pay my petrol I would go! The fact I thought it was tonight, is neither here nor there.

I’ve never heard of Caraboa, so I looked it up. It’s some shit drink but, more importantly, I learnt that the competition has changed the way penalty shoot outs will work for this year. The ABAB system replaced with the ABBA system:

WHAT IS THE NEW ABBA PENALTY SYSTEM?

If you tuned into August’s Community Shield between Arsenal and Chelsea you may have been shocked to see the format of the traditional penalty shoot-out altered.

Well get used to it because all EFL competitions including the Carabao Cup will be using the new ABBA penalty shoot-out system.

The traditional way of taking penalties saw team A go first, followed by team B, then team A again. This has been scrapped.

The new ABBA method means, team A will still go first but then team B will take two consecutive penalties before team A’s second attempt.

Team A will then take another penalty and it carries on – like a tie-break in tennis – until there is a winner.

As was the case in the old system a coin will still be tossed to decide who goes first.

The system is considered fairer as it is believed the player taking the second kick in the ABAB system is always at a disadvantage because they are under greater pressure.

Am I the only one who had missed this new system?

Yes

Hoedt to start or be on the bench??

Oh.

News to me too.

Caraboa…my office gets freebies to test. We got s shed load of this stuff. Took a load home as no one liked it (just like the Caraboa Cup?). Still have some sitting in the fridge…

Mind you, teenage mutant had a few when he was revising for his GCSEs. Results are out tomorrow. Hope they’re not as bad as the drink…
