[Football] League Cup Final

[Zukey Seagull]

Liverpool's penalties were terrible

Am I looking back with rose tinted spectacles, or did fans of losing teams generally used to hang around to applaud the winners?

Wembley inevitably half empty these days every time a trophy is awarded.

As painful as it is to be fair to scousers.

They are playing in an extra time penalties final, that kicked off at 4:30pm, hundreds of miles from 'home', on a Sunday night.

mignolet clearly to be the hero then.

Crap keepers tend to win out in penalty shoot outs, so despite his- as dean cox described him on twitter earlier- cat-flap hands moment, he's bound to win out.

wrong !

I was at the 88 and 89 Finals (Luton and Forest winning) the stadium was empty other than the winning teams fans when the trophy was presented.

Phew! My usual "bottle it" rule of thumb kicked in. If there is only 1 goal in it at 80 minutes, and the cash out on offer is greater than 50% of the potential full payout, I take it, so I merrily accepted £68, 3 minutes before Liverpool equalised

How many of them were actually hundreds of miles from home though?

I don't know anything about betting, but would it have been classed as a City win, or the result at 90 minutes?

Yeah you're probably right, all 31,500 Liverpool fans live in Brent and none of them have been inconvenienced.

Steady on chap, you were the one who suggested they'd all traveled from merseyside. One thing for sure, when the red sides from the north west play anywhere, they have thousands and thousands of fans on the doorstep, I have two friends who were there today, they had to get back to Horsham afterwards, and they'll be at Liverpools next game in the capital, and the one after that, they never miss a local Liverpool game.
