**WBA V City Official Match Thread**

OMFG!!!

[Manx Blue]

Baggies deserve this.....lets get over it. Its a damn shame that we haven't gone through, or been perceived to have taken this seriously enough to go through.

However if we'd played our best team and picked up a few mid-long term injuries, we'd all be slating Mancini.

At the end of the day, the CC is probably the lowest on our list of priorities

[citytilidie]

imagine if given had scored then

[Elvistheblue]

why the hell our we playing our reserves???????

We have Chelsea on Saturday?! :-/

How stupid will we look if we get dicked 0-2 on saturday with two goals from Anelka who played today? That may well happen you know.

A lot of things might happen at the weekend, but hindsight is a wonderful thing. Had we played a full team tonight and someone got injured or we got tonked by Chelsea at the weekend then it would have been a bad decision then too wouldn't it? the only way Mancini was going to be right in his decision to play youth/reserve players tonight was by winning the game.

but if we had won this and got beat by chelsea we'd at least still be in a cup comp, and you dont honestly think our league position is gonna be, resting on saturday??

I'll have that....but if you gave me a choice of winning tonight or winning against Chelsea.....I'd choose beating Chelsea. I think people thought that we only had to turn up to win this carling cup, when in fact it was still a tall order to win it.

We have been here before. Many many times.

Goodnight god bless!

[Ted Hughes]

Mancini fucked this one up.

I reckon if you look at the other big clubs who negate the League Cup, you see them nearly always play a strong defence.

The line up said "This cup is a waste of time, i dont want us to be in it"

Bullshit if anyone says he put out a team capable of winning. Any team with Jo and RSC upfront is not capable of winning.

We were always likely to concede a couple with a piss poor defence. It was down to how many we could get.

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Well looks like were out now can only be a min left if that.

[carl_feedthegoat]

FUCKING DISGUSTING AND ONCE AGAIN EMBARRASSING.

[trueblue64]

Good night thats all folks.............A fucking joke,we will be ragged by all the media tomorrow.

[Beefymcfc]

Ah well, no real change then, not like we ain't used to it. Lets just say I won't be staying up to watch the nightmare later.

Goodnight!

[Elvistheblue]

FUCKING DISGUSTING AND ONCE AGAIN EMBARRASSING.

We'll get over it...we always do.....bring on Chelsea!!

[Bingo Lewis]

this needs addressing. big time.

[saulman]

Same old, same old. What did we expect?

Typical.

[ruralblue]

Pearce out! Sven out!, Hughes Out!, Mancini Out!

I blame SWALES!

[Green & Blue]

Kinell what a reaction

It's the perm all the way for me and cl footy next year that will decide RMs fate

Blooding the squad was a good idea in my humble, and if you thought the selection was that shite perhaps you should have insulted the manager before kick off?

One is just opining...

Well fucking said. Never seen such a bunch of hysterical women (of either gender) in my life as on here tonight! People suggesting the manager might be sacked because we didn't take the whatevertheleaguecupscalledthisyear cup seriously? They need to take a look in the mirror and give themselves a slap! Very pleased some youngsters got a chance, and we got some gametime into a couple of crocks and old fogeys too. Shame if we won't get a chance to see how these kids would have done for another round or two...

Well said chaps.Good for the younger lads to get a chance.Ideally we would all love a win but i wont loose any sleep if we dont.
The team selection is spot on for this competition.

so you honestly think we have a better chance of winning the europa, FA cup, Or the league than winning this cup?

I never said any of that but i know i would have been asking serious questions of Mancini if he had played our best 11 tonight ahead of Chelsea on the weekend.The team selection was spot on in my opinion so i cant side with the many who are looking for his head over the team selection tonight.

[bluej]

Absolute fucking disgrace. Got dicked by a much changed West Brom.

[Mike J]

embarrassing.

the people saying we were right to field kids can fuck off as well. we are never going to win a fucking thing fielding teams like that.

[Goaters 103]

Picked a team to lose and we did.

What happens if Chelsea come and turn us over on Saturday then, which remains likely whether we fielded a proper team or not tonight?

[dick dastardley]

a fucking shite team selection, in the one comp we had a realistic chance of winning this club really does know how to shoot itself in the foot

goodnight

[Mark (Blue Army)]

There goes are chance of winning any real silverwhere this season, well done Mancini.....
