It is easy to see when this deep into a potential "quadruple" why it has never been done...Imagine if still in for it by time FA cup final rolls round and get another league cup final like game....it would be the 4th game in 11 days and 120 mins!! With what would then be a crucial rearranged league game that would have been played that weekend to come on the tues or weds after it.

 

It is fucking crazy......a great 'problem' to maybe have mind!!

The original oil-soaked cheats next, then.

Sibneft, Abramovich's company was gas, wasnt it?

Why have the chavs still got ‘3’ on their shirts? I thought the sponsorship was pulled? 

It was but the club said the government restrictions meant if couldnt buy new shirts from Nike without the '3' and it wasnt practical to cover it up with tape. Obviously, chelsea have no seamstressess to stitch a patch over it.

 

As far as Im aware 3 arent giving them any sponsorship money.

Yeah, exactly. Not really looking forward to the final - first, it’s against Chelsea who won’t make it easy and will feel they’re probably due a shitty win against us (they’ll also have toss all else to play for) and, secondly, for practical reasons - we might well have to field a heavily rotated team if we’re on for the title, thanks to the modern absurdity of it being played before the last couple of games.

Cup final is after the last league game so it'll shit or bust with our best 11!

 

Edit oh no it's not! 14 May?! Yet more disrespecting the cup by the FA!

Nah, it’s a full week before, isn’t it? 14th May. Southampton and Wolves afterwards, assuming Saunts slots into the midweek afterwards, and the final itself is four days after our trip for Villa. 
 

Still, if we have to go second string it’ll be because things are looking great otherwise so…not the worst problem ever.

You just know we’ll get stick for disrespecting such an institution if we have to rest seven or eight players and Chelsea come in fresh as daisies having done the exact same in their league game a few days before.

When was the last time the League Cup and FA Cup finals had the same two teams in?

 

Can only think of Sheffield Wednesday vs Arsenal back in the '90s.

Think it's the only time it's happened before 

Revenge for 2012.

Palace have some shit brainless players and Zaha is a lazy, entitled moaning cunt. 

And when you think of the number of coaches he's had. No progress at all. Play the ball into space and he might look good. Stick a defender on him and he has absolutely no idea what to do. And he's 29. I don't normally pay much attention to him, but the game was so boring I did focus on him a bit and it was remarkable how little he uses any of his height, strength or speed - a profoundly disappointing player.

I remember Steve ? Morrow scoring the winner and falling off someone’s shoulders in the post match celebrations, breaking something, and the ambulance taking him away.( in the league cup final)
