we have to play a two legged semi against another team which will no doubt be at wembley so that fifa can make as much money as they can! and also a energy sapping wembley final with possible time added on and penalty shoot out.
I think we should concentrate on the leaue, get to 20 points by christmas and we will be just 20 short of 40.
so yes it would be nice for me if all me mates knew i had a semi coming up but for me its more important to stay in the top flight

So what do you suggest?
A few early own goals against Derby to guarentee defeat?

what has fifa got to do with the price of cheese?
what about a 'morale boosting' win of our first major(ish) trophy for 36 years helping the lads over the line of premiership survival?

can't ever remember the League Cup semis being played at Wembley, thought the FA owned Wembley which is why the FA Cup semis go there, this is the LEAGUE CUP. Nowt to do with FIFA either.
bring on a two legged home-and-away semi with Watford.
as for your mates being happy that you've got a semi coming up - all i can say is glad they're not my mates!

If we beat Derby we could be in line for a UEFA Cup place, looking at who is left, the others could take the Champions League spaces by finishing in the top 4.

I think the UEFA place goes to the team in 7th place in the league if league cup semi finalists are already qualified for Europe.

Come on lads - erasurebot's posts are not supposed to make sense. The whole point about them is that they are nonsense. "a two legged semi AT WEMBLEY" to give some money to FIFA. I don't know who is daftest - erasurebot for going to the trouble of posting or those who fall for it.

Why on earth would anyone play two-legged semis at Wembley?

There is some sane discussion going on though about this here UEFA cup place. First things first, semis are half erections or home and away games using the away goal system then the final is one game at wembley.
The question is if we lose in the final to Man U will we get the UEFA cup place anyway?

You would get a UEFA Cup place if you lost to a top four club in the FA Cup but I am not sure about the League Cup.

Millwall got into the qualifying rounds of the UEFA Cup by losing to ManU in the FA Cup final a few years back, mumf. Basically, winning the FA cup gets you into Europe but if you lose the final to a club already in Europe you get a place anyway.
But I am not sure if this applies to the League Cup.

a two legged semi final at wembley would be better than a one legged arse kicking final  |

I thought winning the League Cup qualified you for Europe - so let's do that.

I thought winning the League Cup qualified you for Europe - so let's do that. Only the winners of the League Cup get a UEFA cup place. If they then qualify for the UEFA Cup or Champions League through the Premier league then the team below them also gets a UEFA Cup place. There is no chance in hell of a losing sem-finalist let alone a losing finalist getting a UEFA cup spot. Erasurebot is a legend btw. |

Wrong.
Cup success, even gettin knocked in the semis will give the players the extra confidence they need. Plus, this could be one of the biggest seasons in Stoke history.

Let me get things straight 1. The carling cup semis are NOT at Wembley 2. Beating Derby can only mean more money for the club and a morale booster for the squad  |
