This really isn't hard to understand. Maybe you're a bit wasted, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I don't like losing the NLD. Whether it's a league game, European game, friendly or U23s. However, some NLDs hold more significance than others. A league game will always be a better NLD to win than a League Cup NLD. Especially because the league game will have more of an impact on our season objectives than a domestic cup competition will. Case in point - tonight. Not happy we lost, but would have been a lot more ****ed off if we'd lost a few weeks back. Because the league is bread and butter. The League Cup is insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
How long did you lot celebrate your 2-1 in the league cup against us a few years back? Started tearing down our signs after that one iirc? Didn't matter though, eh? The one that matters is the one that gave you a bit of a gap on the sides battling for 6th.
A result not mattering at all and a result not being that significant are two different things. You either understand that or you don't. To be honest, I think you're just deliberately being difficult.
Threats of a potential 'playing behind closed doors' won't concern them. Certainly not from any potential loss of atmosphere....

Maybe you think you've proved something with this post, but you seriously haven't. Keep making as many digs as you want, though. It's 1-1 between both our clubs now. Looking forward to the fixture at Wembley/MK Dons/wherever. We'll see if you're still this mouthy then
"Wait until the next game", well yeah, that's how it works. Are derbies a new discovery to you? In the meantime have a thumb through the dictionary when you get a chance. Anyway, I think we've taken up enough of this thread with a squabble.
The reason we lost the league game against Arsenal was because the Goons had a full weeks rest and a full week to prepare, whereas we had a tough mid week game in the CL, they were able to rest their first XI for their midweek game against a load of goat farmers. It showed on the pitch, they had more energy in the league game, tonight the fatigue levels were even and our better class showed.
