The Capital One Cup 2012/13 Thread

[Cheeky Hughes]

Totally forgot about the match tonight. Only just got back in the house to see the result on the news. What was the team, and how shit did we play?

[Summers]

Got a couple of mates tweeting stuff along the lines of "Can't believe what the Man City fans were chanting during the Villa game. Outrageous."

What are they on about?

No clue. Find out!

[stokeriño]

What was the team

Pantilimon, Nastasic, Toure, Rodwell, Milner, Barry, Kolarov, Razak, Tevez, Balotelli, Suarez. Subs: Wright, Lescott, Dzeko, Sinclair, Scapuzzi, Helan, Evans.

[Colly]

There were 'justice for the 96' chants at Elland Road, which is probably not the same as those at the Etihad.

[Summers]

Nah. Rumours of "let him die" during a 19th minute Petrov applause. City fans denying it all over twitter though.

That's beyond disgusting if true.

Not too happy with Blues tonight but it's not the end of the world. I really want Moyes to get a trophy whilst he's at Everton but there's still the FA Cup this year. Didn't really get going until the 80th minute which is no good.

[Colly]

I'm sure it'll come out if true, Sky have a highlights show Thursday so there's certainly cameras there. Taking it with a pinch of salt until then, seems unusual for two teams with no particular issues, and a cup crowd at that.

Caught the end of Leeds/Everton. Very entertaining, though Everton should have had a pen on 90 minutes when Pearce bearhugged Anichebe on a cross. Hilariously (or not, if you're an Everton fan) the ref was no more than 10-15 yards away looking directly at Anichebe!

[Colly]

He had a Terry Butcher head bandage though, you can do what you like with a Terry Butcher head bandage.

[Rafael]

Leeds/Everton was a fun game, though Everton looked like the better team most of the game, Leeds took their chances and got a deserved win. Also looking foward for Newcastle/Man Utd game, hoping SAF doesn't put a good team against us.

I would not be at all surprised if it's true. We've been known to have the odd group of dickhead fans, probably the same type who get pissed and sing the Munich song. Tickets go cheap in the COC, so it's easier for that type of scum to get in, unfortunately.

EDIT: A lot of journos and neutrals, and some Villa fans too, now saying on Twitter that they heard nothing but applause in the 19th minute. Apparently it was all a "rumour started by a Red or two to detract from their own obscenities". Pretty sick, whether there was chanting or it was a rumour started up.

[Matt]

We don't give a fuck, we don't give a fuuuuuuck, we're Leeds United... We don't give a fuck. :D :D

[Baddar]

Fully expecting United to go out tonight, especially if Pards puts out a close to full strength side.

[Starvinho]

Should be a decent United side out tonight, I'd expect the likes of Hernandez, Welbeck, Cleverley, Fletcher, Powell, Buttner and De Gea to play. Even Super Bebe might see some minutes! It'll be a tough game but we defo have the players to get through.

[Baddar]

We had a decent side out against Palace, too.

There's no doubt we'll be stronger tonight, but Newcastle will be going for it, I reckon.

[Colly]

I don't. Besides the fact we don't actually have a full strength side available (Simpsons injured!), Pards has already shown we're prioritising the league. I hope I'm wrong and we see Cabaye and Ben Arfa, but wouldn't be surprised to see a decent back 4 since we've no depth there and the rest of the Euro squad, which even a backup Man Utd squad should be able to batter.

Might see Cisse though as he needs a goal, so there's always a chance.

Sshh, Colly - I'm purposely playing down Utd's chances in the hope that they prove me wrong.

[Thrilla]

Pantilimon is proper shit.

Sadly I'm not. Or am I...

16 year old Jerome Sinclair could make his Liverpool debut tonight against West Brom.

If he does he'll become Liverpool's youngest ever player.
