The Capital One Cup thread 2014/15

Genuinely a shame Mason can't play in the Premier League, he honestly changed the game. Looked very comfortable on the ball and made things happen, cracking goal too!

No yellow cards at WHL tonight. Brian Clough would have been satisfied.

Looked more comfortable in 20 minutes than Bentaleb did at any point during the game.

Not good for Sheffield Wednesday. BBC have had to bring out the (Seven).

[Colly]

Some kind of lovely no-look pass from Lamela to the DEMON Kane and it's 3-1. Well that ended up better than it looked for a while.

the DEMON Kane!

Harry the DEMON Kane?

Harry Kane yes.

[Lineker]

Good lord we were terrible for the vast majority of that match. But who cares, cupset prevented!

[Colly]

They'd better be nice and wait ten minutes before they do the draw, I can't remember the last time we were involved in a third round of playing in a cup, odds are we'll get a good draw and concede two in injury time.

Just like what Hull are doing...

[Jimmy]

So we've got Brighton.

[Lineker]

Good tie that.

Chelsea visit Shrewsbury!

Apologies for quoting myself again, but yep, two seconds of 'for fucks sake, away again, and Man City, might as well not bother', followed instantly by 'nah, extra time'.

[Cheeky Hughes]

City host the winners of Palace/Newcastle. Not too bad.

[DavidMarrio]

Bony is gonna have a field day against our defence.

[Lineker]

Before you book your ticket stok, you are aware that Shrewsbury is basically Wales, right?

[Gorka]

Ah, Liverpool. I'm more than happy with that, hopefully there will be a repeat of the win a couple of seasons back. One former manager down, time for a second.

Yes.

This didn't stop me going to Cardiff.

Definitely up for a trip to Shrewsbury!

[Ant]

I know its tedious but it annoys the piss out of me when the Half Time and/or Full Time score banners appears just as a player is about to strike a ball and you then miss the point of contact with boot to ball. Its pretty fucking basic not to do that

[DFF]

MK Dons away. Not exactly a glamour tie, but winnable.

Fuck all wrong with Cardiff!

Although in fairness, the surrounding areas of the Cardiff City Stadium aren't the best.

[The Lusophone]

Never understood why Cardiff don't just play in the Millennium Stadium.

[Baddar]

Because they wouldn't be able to come near to filling it, most weeks.

The CCS has just had its first expansion. The way it's designed, it can go as big as 60,000. That'll be more than enough even if they become an established PL team in the future.

[stokeriño]

Still really disappointed that I couldn't get a ticket to the Shrewsbury game tonight. (took 15 min to get into the online ticket sales and by then they were sold out)

At least it's on TV. Difficult to pick the Chelsea line-up due to a combination of injuries/suspensions/fitness issues due to having only 2 days from the United game/etc.

My current guess:

Cech

Zouma - Christensen - Cahill - Luis

Mikel - Ake

Salah - Baker - Willian

Schurrle
