The Capital One Cup thread 2014/15

[Liam]

We clearly just like Derby sticking 5 goals past us every time.

[DavidMarrio]

Markovic is shite.

[Hobo]

The commentator is the best thing about this match in the second half. Liverpool have regressed as the game has gone on.

[stokeriño]

MK Dons capitulate two late goals to scupper my hopes for the quarter final draw once again.

[Hobo]

1-1!

[Hobo]

And Swansea are down to 10 men.

LOVREN

2-1

[DavidMarrio]

Coutinho man of the match. Brilliant performance. Thought first half we were good just lacking end product. Second half Swansea started to come into the game a bit more. Thought we deserved the won. Lambert, Borini and Coutinho played well.

[Emperor DC]

Through to the last 8 for the first time ever.

[Gorka]

Conceding two in the last ten minutes and the referee messing up a sending off? Sounds rough.

[DavidMarrio]

Was always going to be a red cause he lunged off the floor. Steve the pirate just needs to stop thinking the refs have a personal vendetta against him

[Lineker]

[John Stones' Paint Trophy]

I'm away to the shop for cans. Paul Dummett at centre-half against Man City is something I can't handle sober.

[Colly]

I hadn't even clicked that was happening. That said, it might be him and Janmaat as a back three, with Haidara, Taylor, Colback and Abeid as full backs...

[Lineker]

Spurs kick off delayed by 15 minutes due to traffic.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Tim Sherwood not at all bitter at leaving Spurs. No time for Johnny Foreigner so it seems.

[Lineker]

Holy shit, Newcastle and their army of fullbacks are winning! Aarons!

[Rafael]

ohmygodilovethiskid.

[Colly]

Amazing defending.

[Lineker]

Southampton already one-up themselves through Pelle.

[Colly]

Aarons is bossing this b-defense.

No magic spray in the cup.
