The Capital One Cup thread 2013/14

[Ant]

Yeah my posts have been shit really even by my standards. Trying way too hard. Apologies.

League Cup show is on at a stupid time again so I'll record it. The Delph goal is superb though.

[stokeriño]

Fuck, forgot the draw was tonight.

Swindon away! I always yay for new away trips!

Now I just have to figure out if I can make it back...it would be really simple if only I had a car.

[Colly]

You're officially the only person to ever get excited about going to Swindon.

[stokeriño]

It's the little things.

[Cheeky Hughes]

It had to be bloody Wigan, didn't it?

[Summers]

Delph's goal was fucking amazing. Had one of the usual suspects scored it, it'd be replayed on Sky for weeks.

[Jimmy]

I've seen people say that a lot, and I'm pretty sure the reason the usual suspects get the praise is because they score these incredible goals repeatedly. It's cool that it was a good goal, but anyone can score a good goal. On saturday morning's I've scored the occasional cracker, but the real skill is pull it off again and again. If Delph scores another 10 good goals this season, then I'm sure they'll come back to this one to show again and again, but, until then, it's just another of thousands of great goals caught on camera.

[Lineker]

Villa away, should be simple enough

And Watford vs. Norwich, battle of the yellows, who will prevail?

[Baddar]

Utd Reserves vs. Liverpool Reserves + Suarez. Should be a fun watch.

Why didn't Fellaini bugger off to Man Yoo? Why!? :'(

Really happy with the performance though and we rattled Everton a lot in a game even we weren't expecting us to do anything in.

[stokeriño]

Ah. Apparently the Swindon/Chelsea game has been picked for Sky coverage...

That's the killer blow dealt by my frugal side then.

[Ant]

Shocked it isn't United and Liverpool to be honest.

[Starvinho]

United/Liverpool is the other live game. One is Tuesday, the other Wednesday.

[Nerf]

Bah, if United/Liverpool was rescheduled instead of City/Wigan, I'd have still been subscribed to Sky Sports for the game.

[stokeriño]

Ugh, I had forgotten that Nile Ranger plays for Swindon now.

Maybe David Luiz can give him one of his patented "I'm sorry, was your face there? I was looking the other way whilst steaming along the halfway line with my elbows raised." tackles.

[MDK]

He sounds like he works for the Egyptian Army

[stokeriño]

But with fewer machine guns, right?

Incidentally I am actually going to the Swindon game now. This may not have been a smart move as even if I'm lucky I'll be getting home around 3am. If there's extra time or other such shenanigans I may end up sitting in Euston station until about 5:30 in the morning.

Hmm.

[MDK]

I can't decide on which match to watch tonight

[stokeriño]

Was so close on my predicted line-up - only got the toss-up between Ba and Torres wrong.

But hey, sunny Swindon...

[MDK]

What, no picture of the roundabouts?
