That loss to Palace means we get a 9 day break before Burnley. Blessing in disguise perhaps.
I think I’m more pissed about losing to palace than Chelsea. I know it was a semi but the FA cup means so much more to me than the carabo. And in all likelihood we’d have lost to city. Beating Watford West Ham Arsenal chelsea City seems like such a massive effort for such a undistinguished trophy. I think the fact it changes it’s name every 3 years devalues it even more. If it was still called the league cup it might seem moe important. With the way the FA cup has thinned out I’m pretty gutted we are out. But that game came at the worst possible time. It’s so hard to do a carabo semi in January and not let it damage other opportunities. I think Chelsea will really pay for getting to the final, another high intensity game and be a game behind in league. Which could see them 13 pts behind us after next weekend. Unless you have an exceptional squad like city the carabo is a massive burden.
