Carling Cup Final

Cast your mind back - Ant an Dec Gerrad misses a pen before jumping on the bus with his mates and costs us a place in Europe. Jump ahead a year and now we're Championship winners anyone think this was a blessing in disguise

No...

Had Kenny Miller not missed a sitter seconds from the end we would've avoided extra time and pens and would've won the cup and been in Europe.


But I don't understand how you link it to us being Champions?

Don't get that logic, maybe would have given us more of a reason to protest for Blue and wouldn't get the cash injection we got from the re-brand. Even if he did go ahead with the re-brand and we won the Cup we'd have still challenged due to having a bigger squad, we'd just have a bit more money from Europe

The point is would we have been champions if we had also played in Europe ? Extra games playing our best players - who knows where we would be now?

Yeah but if my Aunty had balls my Uncle would be a tranny lover....

I wanted to win that game, and couldn't breathe when the equaliser went in, but I agree I don't think we could have coped with the extra games this year and would not have won the league, play offs again.

She does and he is ......

If we had won I dont think we would be in red as Tan said we never won anything in Blue

She does and he is ......

Yes she does and yes, he is!

Seriously theres every possibility we're premier league because we lost the final!

My point exactly - let's just see how the jacks get on next year - a cheeky few quid on City staying up and the Jacks going down - you heard it here first

I don't think so, I would've loved to have won that game, we probably wouldn't have been rebranded as well. It's all ifs and buts.

Birmingham played in Europe and still managed to comfortably make the Play Offs...

Swansea will stay up and finish above us despite being in Europe, it's inevitable. Our priority is to stay up next season, that's all I care about.

It's simple; if we went into Europe it would have meant extra games for a relatively small squad of players, which in turn would have meant more fatigue, injuries and poorer performances

Have to say I agree it may have been a blessing in disguise and I firmly belive Swansea will suffer fro it next season (and the signs are already there since Wembley)

we would not have been where we are today if we had won that final

my family went to that game and was spoilt my drunken group falling over themelves in the cheap seats. bunch of chavs, when bellers refused to do the ayo........ vile abuse was the response.

So we're going to suffer from playing more games from Europe, which we're already suffering because we're playing less frequently than we were before the cup final.

Let's see who we sign in the summer, compared to who sign in the summer, despite having a lot less money and we'll see what sort of a factor European football will have on us.
