They'll be playing a dramatically stronger side than we will sadly. At least we don't have to travel anywhere.
We've got the right manager for it though, just muck the game up and pray for penalties.
Draw for the Europa League playoff round is tomorrow FWIW
One unlucky seeded team is getting Milan in that round btw.
Not a conspiracy theory, but if we do manage to win any competition this season it will be in spite of the FA - that´s just a fact. The schedule of Sunday-Tuesday-Thursday-Sunday is an absolute disgrace and, until now, we´ve all looked at it considering the possibility of resting players in the League Cup. But of course, there was always a chance to face a big team in one of these matches - which should be another reason for the FA to help a club in our very difficult position.
I'm all for cunting off the FA or the EFL or whoever, but with Covid compressing the schedule I'm not really sure what they're supposed to do.
They did help City and United. I believe something should be done in our favor.
Did they? What happened?
They will start the Premier League one week after everybody else - which means games from the Premier League were postponed.
Cancel the Caribo cup, preserve the shortlived Christmas break, cancel any non-obligatory international friendlies.....
Our players will be wrecked by the time the Euro's come around and the FA will wonder why we do shit. We've got a World Cup to contend with bang in the middle of the season the year after too.
They were deemed to not have the minimum length rest period between their last European fixtures and their first EPL games.
Christ, aside from the obvious annoyance that unlikely Woolwich FA Cup win has really fucked us.
Such a fucking piss take that it shifted us from an automatic EL group spot to having three qualification games. That, combined with this dense League Cup schedule, is going to kill us.

Nestled lovingly between weekend games with West Brom and Southampton.
Knowing these cunts they will play their first choice 11 while Jose plays a reserve team.
It's a fucking cup final for them so they'll be up for it. Not looking forward to this.

It really is unbelievable. It's like the world is conspiring to fuck us over at every opportunity.
Huge expensive stadium just opened? Oh world pandemic quarantine.
Just qualified for EL? Mother fuckers win the cup and knock us down to the qualifiers despite being shittt.
You just wonder - what's gonna happen next?
They always seem to have the last laugh (until they don't).
I'm hoping we've built up enough karma for something big.
With some luck Aubameyang will blow up the emirates or something.They always seem to have the last laugh (until they don't).

But then I guess Boris would just hand over Wembley to them for free
The schedule makes it impossible to be competitive in all three competitions, so we should sacrifice the Carabao. We should play a youth team against Orient, and it's better we lose against them. We'd be on a hiding to nothing against Chelsea. Geting suckered into going strong against them could cost us the EL.

I hope Jose does similar to Klopp last season and doesn't even manage the game and just lets the U23 manager take it
