@SpeakSAFC: “#SAFC: Capital One Cup winners 2014.”

@adamreeek: “Does that mean we’ll be announced winners of the 2013-2014 Capital One Cup?

@BrownSlices: “Take away their 2014 Capital One Cup.”

@EbelI1973L: “Protest outside The Etihad calling for our name to be put on the trophy?”

@wearsideview: “Massive news regarding Man City, would be the time for the league to make a statement regarding FFP, but I’m sure it’ll be watered down to a transfer embargo and a fine.”

@Parkersafc: “If we'd beat them in the League Cup final we'd have had European football. Then who knows how that could have changed our fortunes. No relegations, no 4 years languishing in the 3rd tier. Club financially imploded.”
