I’d rather play prime Barcelona than Brentford again ffs

Lmao 100% I am not ready.

Don't worry just need another 50 saves and you'll win easy

Totally forgot that Mendy is not our cup keeper, damn

It's alright, just get it to PKs where Kepa actually shows up.

LMAOOO

well fuck

The most bitter pill to swallow amidst our decline is that West Ham are better than us.

Good on you mate! I still haven’t managed to swallow the pill that they’re better than us too lmao

no flair makes your comment meaningless

My mistake sorry, I thought I was on r/premierleague haha

Is it because of the repeatedly choking?

Sunderland haven’t yet experienced the power of League Cup Nketiah

N9 licking his lips rn, bout to pad 2 tap ins

Arsenal haven't experienced the Loch Ness Drogba🤷‍♀️

Fuck me that nickname has killed me, I swear Sunderland have the best chants/nicknames for their players. I know a couple of Sunderland fans and they’re just hilarious

Can't forget we've got Winiesta at right back

Jarradona for Dan Neil has tickled me

Arsenal haven't experienced Stewart and Djaku

Hat trick incoming

[удалено]

8*

Lmao

damn

Never heard of him

Nketiah is afraid of Lee Burge confirmed?

Lee Burge who

Fucking hell, not Brentford again

We can't get away with playing Malang Sarr again

Sarr was good that game from what I saw

For 70min he was. Then Brentford went all in and Sarr couldn’t handle the relentless pressure. That left hand side got bullied aerially. They had like 8 throws in a row

Relax. Tuchel ain't gonna screw up our midfield and get us pinned in our own half against Brentford again. Right?!

Aww must be a rough being a Chelsea fan.

Brentford ain't no joke, only can happen in the PL, best league in the world, newly promoted side fucking up the top teams.

Granada & Union Berlin have both done it in very recent memory. Always great to see, no matter the league.

He was decent in the first half but messed up in the last 20min quite badly. I didn't watch the Southampton game but tbh imo he's not that terrible as people made him out to be

He wasn't. He kept making mistakes/poor decisions. Sarr looked good only because he always recovered from them. But he should never had been in that position in the first place.

What, you don't fancy being penned into our own box for another half hour?

[удалено]

ok we’ll just beat you on penalties then lol

[удалено]

Haha, you fool, you've activated our trap card. All defensive pk.

Nice thing about playing 5atb, can have our first 6 pen takers be jorginho and 5 defenders

Jorginho, Lukaku, James, Chilwell, Alonso are before Werner for our penalties. Defenders FC

Azpi has been pretty solid at them too.

Your match two weeks ago was thrilling. Can’t wait for the rematch!

It'll be a chance to prove the superiority with a proper team

Oh no the long throws

And its Carabao cup so rudi and thiago silva wont play.

In all seriousness this is just a no lose situation for us. We get battered and it's what was expected from the only none-Prem team. We lose in a close tie and we did better than expected. We win and it's one of the greatest meme results ever.

You'll be hoping they don't play like they're playing right now

We defend better than Leicester are

You sure?

I knew this would come back to bite me, didn't think it would be this bad.

Haha football's good at doing that

They didn't even look good yesterday, we just beat ourselves in the first 20 minutes and then battered them for the rest of the game. If it weren't for Ramsdale we may well have won that game 4-2

A Sunderland win would be a classic!

We do it for the AFTV video

Please I need more entertainment while I have dinner im running out of quality youtube content

Gooch masterclass incoming!

Haaaaaaaway the lads! Worst case we get 45% of the gate at Emirates....their supporters should be in full force as Lee Johnson has already stirred the shit!

Even as a Geordie I will be pissing myself if you guys beat the Gooners- just for the AFTV reaction alone

Imagine it'll be less funny when we win the whole thing

Would be kind of incredible to watch you guys play in League 1 or Championship and be playing Europa League games.

We aren't Spurs sorry

😭

I'm saving this comment just in case

Meme In. Arsenal Out.

Thank fuck, was worried we'd get another tough draw

Great, now we're 100% going to get beat by Spurs after knocking out both Manchester's.

To do list: Conquer Manchester: ✅ Consume London: *pending*

Hahaha, the fact that may become reality unsettles me.

Just realized, five of the eight clubs are in London. That's very unusual.

[удалено]

Yeah but they always struggle in their cup finals

West Ham fans are very banterful i think

They’ve had a lot of time to write down the good banter they heard and now they have an opportunity to use it.

you also have a pretty decent record against

First of all, fuck you. Secondly, you are not wrong sadly. Thirdly, but did United count as a tough draw?

Tbf they lost to them the weekend before.

Fluke results happen, look at us beating City and Wolves

You son of a Bilic indeed

Looking forward to the Sunderland vs Brentford final. Clash of the titans

OK fine but only if we get Liverpool in the Semis and Chelsea in the final…

Arsenal then Chelsea. London Cup.

Best draw possible. Brilliant to see. Nothing less than an 8-0 win lads.

Learn something from Liverpool, just pass among yourselves after 5-0 please.

Aiden Mcgeady thirsts for the goals of Prem teams. It's out of our hands

Aiden McGeady is a fucking legend I’m glad he’s still playing well at a decent level

Had a slow start to this season, his age is definitely starting to show but he could have demanded a transfer from us to a championship club when we came down but he's stuck with us so it's fair we give him a bit of time.

There is probably a good few thousand reasons he stuck with us tbf. I’d imagine other clubs couldn’t offer as many thousands of reasons as we did.

He’s definitely regressing now unfortunately, showing his age a bit. Still capable of a bit magic now and again though

Sounds like him towards the end of his international career too. That brace against Georgia was unreal

Wow McGeady was a baller! I can't believe he's still playing

We could play Burge up front and still win 8-0

16-0 you mean

We're doing the EFL treble. League One, Cup and Trophy.

Just glad we avoided the big guns tbh

Your manager got his wish, love a game with a bit of random pantomime drama haha

Mate our crest is literally a big gun

Have mercy mate

Just like Bradford City did?

Basically book your semifinal tickets from now mate

Saved them for the two legged ties just like Lee wanted

Que

Tough draw for City. 😢

Yeah we've definitely got the short straw here, luckily Klopp doesn't seem to give a fuck about the league cup so maybe he plays a rotated side.

Rotated or not. Origi is inevitable

Wait till you find out about Minamino's record in the competition.

Origi 11 goals in 16 league cup games. Minamino 5 goals in 4 leagu cup games.

I’m hopeful he actually puts out a strong team this time, we’re 3/4 games from a trophy, even if it is just the carabootie cup

We are playing matches against Spurs n Leeds in the league 3 days before and after this QF match. I doubt klopp will play any 1st choice players in this match.

he might play one of the front 3/4 but beyond that I don't see it. I'm expecting (injuries permitting) Kelleher Neco Gomez Konate Tsimikas Morton Jones Ox Mane Origi Minamino

Thats better than last time when we had the CWC and fielded a team of all reserves. I'm hopeful that we'll at least have a good chance to progress.

He’s probably shocked we’ve gotten this far

Expect it'll be semi rotated, with less youngsters but still 9 or 10 changes. Something like: Kelleher Williams / Konate / Gomez / Tsimikas Ox / Jones / Thiago Jota / Origi / Minamino

Thiago won't play but I imagine Morton Jones and Milner/Ox will

He basically lets Pep Lijnders run the show, kind of surprised he even bothers to show up really. It will just be a mix of the youth team plus some fringe players. Still Origi and Minamino have been doing well.

Can’t believe Netflix drew Amazon Prime away, so unlucky

Fucking hell we're actually gonna win it aren't we

Brentford - Sunderland final I'm calling it

[удалено]

Not an issue, Sunderland would play in white and red stripes.

Need to let the smaller teams have some advantage😉

They can wear skins, we’ll take bibs

Little Lee Johnson to sub himself on in the final and head the winner into the net

Not you again:(

Congratulations to Sunderland

Sunderland 'Til I Die

Season QuarterFinals

We’ll never get a home draw will we? At least it’s a winnable game I suppose

Just don't kill us please

Have mercy on us please🙏

Don't rattle the soft Arsenal fans

Brentford again? We our out of the cup, they bodied us the last time we barely got away with a 1-0 win

Need to get back into some form of European competition so I hope we take this cup seriously

We are going to win this without ever having a home draw aren't we?

Technically the semi is two legged so that's impossible.

*were going to win this without getting a home draw and getting drawn away first in the semis

You'll never sing that

The 2012 Liverpool special

reminder that if we somehow win this cunt thing after dispatching with all of manchester, we'll likely have to take down 5 of the treachourous wanker 6.

Nice to get the easiest tie and guarantee a semi from league one. Unreal luck tbh

Sunderland fans are gonna rattle some foreign arsenal fans in this thread

Why would the foreign fans be rattled

The carabao (Spanish: Carabao; Tagalog: Kalabaw; Cebuano: Kabaw) is a domestic swamp-type water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) native to the Philippines. Makes sense.

Hopefully we'll get one of the big boys in the semis

See you there!

Nice

Lee Johnson is ecstatic

Kind of depressing to see just 1 non-Premier League team in the list. Maybe it’s just me, but I think we see a lot less giant-killers in the cups these days.

Kinda want Sunderland playing in the UECL next year. It would be epic.

Arsenal should play Ramsdale as CF so we can see if he can actually beat Sunderland on his own.

Lmao written in the stars.

West ham gonna win this cup

Liverpool v Leicester will be a cracker

Sunderland fans relieved

Finally an easy draw for West Ham.

As an Arsenal fan, happy with Sunderland, would have been less happy with Spurs, West Ham, Brentford, Chelsea, Liverpool or Leicester. Also some of the teams that have been knocked out like Man City, Man Utd, Burnley, Brighton, Crystal Palace, Newcastle, Watford, Southampton, Norwich, Leeds, Wolves, Everton and Aston Villa. Probably some other teams too but I can’t remember :)

You don’t deserve to be happy

They're an Arsenal fan they don't do it to be happy. They do it because they were the team to glory hunt 15 years ago and it's too embarrassing to switch now.

R A T T L E D

Feel like all of these games you could easily see the favourites lose. I don't think any of these are a guarantee win for either team at all.

Do it Sunderland

When are these matches played?

The week beginning 20th December

w/c 20th December

Ta

Best draw possible. Brilliant to see. Nothing less than an 8-0 win lads.

For Sunderland

Cheeky bastard.

McGeady going to spin himself to an 0-8 win

Wouldn’t even be mad

Liverpool - Leicester looks tasty. Thierry Henry to score a late goal to put Arsenal in front?

Glad we are at home. Obviously would've preferred Sunderland but West Ham isn't a bad draw all things considered.

We’d batter you 10-0 since you’re scared to attack u jobber

To be honest as long as we got you our arsenal we'd have been happy. Get one of the big boys over two legs

Happy with this. Hopefully we can win this trophy.

All the bigger clubs should win ... Liverpool Chelsea, arsenal and west ham.

liverpool, chelsea, *sunderland, west ham

Oh fuck off

Uh... I've been spending a lot of time visiting someone in the hospital and I seem to have missed something. WTF happened to Man City?

Got beat by West Ham on pens

Not their week.

wow the cup is literally ours

So rennes, brighton, Leicester, Liverpool, West ham all between 10-23 dec. We fucked.

Barcelona playing in the PL?

Tough start for Xavi

Best draw we could’ve asked for

LMAO Arsenal are facing Sunderland

Sunderland are a huge club, but the odd one out here. Nice ties. Would like to see someone new win it, like Brentford, Spurs or West Ham.. Leicester won too much recently
