The Carling Cup 2011/12 Thread

[Starvinho]

We could get 6 or 7 in the second-half if this carries on, Leeds are playing shite. Owen and Giggs both showing their class though

[Starvinho]

Boring second half, good to see Pogba and Cole come on though. We'll probably get Liverpool in the fourth round now...

[MJB]

lol Matt

[EddieG]

lol, Matt.

Anyone know if there are Carling Cup highlights anywhere tonight? Will be the first time this season I'll be able to safely watch Arsenal highlights

BBC 1 will have them tomorrow night. I don't know exactly what time, somewhere between 10:30 and 12pm I'd imagine...

[MJB]

Sky have them on at some point Thursday Night aswell (Y)

[Berober]

I'm embarrassed to be a Villa fan after that.

[DavidMarrio]

It is on at 23:20 on BBC One

[Colly]

Sky Sports News are showing goals now.

Spent the first half of our game in IKEA brilliantly, 1-0 when I was in there, 1-1 on the radio as I shifted my car to throw gear in, 2-1 up as I pulled away, 2-2 in KFC (it was late, hungry!), 3-2 once back in the car with my brother flashing his headlights behind in celebration, 3-3 halfway home, Coloccini winner just before I got in, cue headlights, horn, and a celebratory 5 dream team points hand raise...

IKEA and car match, yay!

In Arsene we trust!!

Also, GoGo, Gallas played 90 minutes in a reserve friendly against Brentford tonight, so hopefully he'll get some minutes on the weekend.

[Matt]

lol, Matt. Oh wait...

Nah, fair play, outplayed and outclassed by a better team. I don't think we deserved the 3-0 first half, the only difference was the quality in the finishing, but second half they could've had 4 or 5 if they'd put their mind to it. That might be scum's second and third string but that team would still probably come top half of the Premier League, they kept the ball exceptionally. The atmosphere in the pub was awesome, can only imagine what it was like in Elland Road, hopefully we're seeing those matches twice a season sooner rather than later.

Just reading the Stoke/Spurs report and Pav and Gomes probably won't get much first team action this season.

[The Future]

Berbatov at center back was glorious , Fryers looked very composed too shame he had to go off, when are the next round matches announced?

[Colly]

Draws on Saturday.

[Jimmy]

Berba at centre back was veru surreal, but I don't think he played great up top. He dropped nicely and played some neat football, but he did look quite lazy at times. And I've never really seen too much to the argument that Berba's a lazy forward, but he certainly wasn't going all out like I assumed he would in order to impress Sir Alex. Thought Owen was brilliant in the first half and United played some really nice football. Shame Leeds couldn't peg one or two back in the second half to make it a bit more interesting.

I'm embarrassed to be a Villa fan after that.

You're not the only one.

[Thrilla]

Yeah, fuck you Leyton Orient. All these London teams are shit >_>

[MDK]

We're saving ourselves for The FA Cup

[Baddar]

How long did Berba play at CB last night?
