Capital One Cup Thread

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

First topic message reminder :

Thought I'd pop one of these up...

Norwich currently beating Bury 3-0, Ravel Morrison gives Dolphin a boner with a goal on full debut

MK Dons currently leading Sunderland 2-0 meaning Sunderland players shall be starved tomorrow

Peterborough absolutely spanking a strong Reading side as well

[mystiroakey]

How West Ham can have the nerve to charge 48 quid is beyond me.

But the sad sad thing is, a lot of other clubs would probably do the same. 

Days of watching football on the cheap are well and truly gone.

I agree with you. This one should have been a free game for fans

[guildfordbat]

Very true Guildford and we wouldn't have had all that 'did it cross the line' debate about the 3rd goal. Perhaps we might even have won a few more matches on penalties instead of paying for that 'goal' ever since!  

    

[guildfordbat]

predictions tonight lads.

At least one isn't  dead rubber!

1-1 for me. I think Sunderland will hang on. Rooney doesn't look likely to make an appearance

Mysti - I'll plump for United to win 2-0, only for them to crash and burn against Citeh in the final with more misery for Moyes.

Agreed. Those who went to the first leg should have been given a free pie as well last night!   

[mystiroakey]

And a free sick bag


I cant actually believe anyone turned up.

But fair play West ham fans that did!! Thats proper support

[The Special Juan]

I reckon if Utd score an early goal tonight then they might steamroll Sunderland. The Mata rumours may well have given everyone a lift; the crowd, the players, the manager... Still, it goes without saying, the longer that Sunderland hold on the more they will grow in belief.

Man Utd XI
De Gea; Rafael, Smalling, Evans, Buttner; Januzaj, Carrick, Fletcher, Kagawa; Welbeck, Hernandez.

Sunderland XI
Mannone, Bardsley, Alonso, Brown, O'Shea (c), Cattermole, Colback, Ki, Johnson, Borini, Fletcher.

[Ent]

That back four has disaster written all over it yet again but players need rested so what can you do.

[The Fourth Lion]

Man Utd XI
De Gea; Rafael, Smalling, Evans, Buttner; Januzaj, Carrick, Fletcher, Kagawa; Welbeck, Hernandez.

Sunderland XI
Mannone, Bardsley, Alonso, Brown, O'Shea (c), Cattermole, Colback, Ki, Johnson, Borini, Fletcher.

There was talk on the news at lunchtime that Rooney and / or Van Persie may play tonight.   I didn't think they would be fit at this time, but the news was speculating about it as if it was a realistic possibility.

Are they on the bench..?

If my memory serves me well, a pie at West Ham is best avoided.

After eating one there about five years ago you'd have been hard pushed to convince me that Sweeney Todd wasn't still alive and well and plying his trade at Upton Park.

Thanks for that Fernando.  

That is not the best news for United supporters and it will be a big lift to Sunderland.    They'll feel just that bit more confident knowing those two won't be involved in the game.

[The Special Juan]

Vidic got sent off for that type of challenge at the weekend. Just sayin'.

[Guest]

poor from borini (think it was him)

everybody stepped up and he just stood there

[mystiroakey]

Very bad decision there. Smaling should have been off

[Fernando]

heading to an extra 30 mins of play

2-2 on Agg - Away goals count at end of ET

[The Special Juan]

Like Borini should have been off in the first half...

[The Special Juan]

[Fernando]

Oh My Frak God De Gea You man sausage

  

Sunderland's only shot on target   

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Oh thats harsh. What a season this is becoming, this was in the script

[Dolphin Ziggler]

AMAZING

[Fernando]

Hernandez 2-2

Penalties coming seemingly.

[The Special Juan]

[mystiroakey]

Going pens!!!

[mystiroakey]

Come on Sunderland.....

[Hammersmith harrier]

Thank god for that, why we didn't go all out for the second goal is baffling.

[Guest]

heading to an extra 30 mins of play

2-2 on Agg - Away goals count at end of ET

either have away goals or dont. absolute pointless rule that sunderland get an extra 30 minutes to try and get an away goal

[Fernando]

Well ud think United would go on and win it now. Sunderland generally good at pens though.

Its just to stop the lottery of pens. And although Sunderland get 30 mins more away. United get 30 mins more at home..

Anyway . pens it is!!!!

[Fernando]

Yeah that's over with then Sunderland miss 1st pen   

[mystiroakey]

Puncheon.. What you doing at old Trafford.

[Fernando]

It's like watching England taking pens this

3 from 3 missed

[mystiroakey]

Wtf

[The Special Juan]

x2!!! What is this?

[Hammersmith harrier]

When will clubs learn not to let englishmen take penalties.

[Fernando]

finally we have a goal

1-0 United after 2 each.

[Fernando]

1-1 after 3.

[mystiroakey]

Junazi has just proven to be English .

[Fernando]

 

Ki with a lovely pen

Jones misses like an Englishman

[Bull]

GAME OVER.   

[Fernando]

Adam Johnson to win it for Sunderland....

[The Special Juan]

This is the worst shoot-out I've ever seen!!

[Fernando]

Adam Johnson misses!!!!!!

[mystiroakey]

Every english player has missed.....

[Fernando]

This is the worst shoot-out I've ever seen!!

It really is   

Rafael up next he'll score

[Fernando]

my bad   

Rafael misses

Sunderland to Wembley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bull]

He doesn't...

[mystiroakey]

3 in 10..

I am having nightmares about the wold cup

[The Special Juan]

It's a far-cry from that ACON match where all 22 players scored in a row.

[Hammersmith harrier]

Worst set of penalites I have ever seen, considering i've seen plenty with England involved that's saying something, tactics all wrong again tonight should have put the game to bed.
