League & FA Cups

IMO we should be going all out for both cups this season. Defo a long shot as there are a lot better teams than us in them but assuming we are comfortable in the League then why not?

Paddy Power have us down as 50/1 shots to win the League Cup. Pretty generous considering we are only 35/1 to win the FA Cup. Surely we have a better chance to win the LC?

Anyway, I’ve done a tenner E/W on the LC and 15 quid E/W on the FA Cup. I don’t get to many away games anymore so I have no points, this should pay enough for a ticket off someone.

What you reckon, a waste of a bulls eye or worth the punt??

Re: League & FA Cups

sounds like a great punt to me
every now and then a team not in the so called top 6 do win either

Re: League & FA Cups

LC was the first thing Pellegrini won at City and he went on to win it twice so he knows all about it... considering all the top clubs playing in Europe will play weakened sides until deep in the competition you could argue that we are likely to field the best team so 50/1 seems generous.
