Carling Cup Quarter Final Games - **Spoilers**

[Robert1986]

Manchester City vs Arsenal
Chelsea vs Liverpool
Crystal Palace vs Manchester United
Cardiff City vs Blackburn

Is it me or do UTD get the easiest draws in these cups?

 

[Robert1986]

Even in the CL last season they got the easiest draws.

I cant wait to see how the overpaid mercernaries like Aguero, Johnson, Lescott, Hart, Richards, Dzeko, Kolarov, Toure and Silva cut it on a cold winters night in London tonight. The 500k per week every player in the squad gets cant soften the blow of having to play in this kind of weather.

They shouldn't get cold if they are running about for 90 minutes... and don't most pitches of heated surfaces?

Liverpool to beat Chelsea and Arsenal to beat Man City.

 

[Robert1986]

LOL. Carrol and Torres can only get starts in the CC. Thats really sad.

 

[Robert1986]

Come on the Arsenal!

 

[Robert1986]

Arsenal
Fabianski, Djourou, Squillaci, Koscielny, Miquel, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Frimpong, Coquelin, Benayoun, Park, Chamakh.

Jesus Bellamy's face

What happened?

 

[Robert1986]

Why can't sky sports show both CC games on TV? I mean, whats stopping them?

 

[Robert1986]

On the verge of tears during the minutes applause for Gary Speed?

Wasn't watching the game.

So sad though.

I had that sinking feeling in my stomach today when reading all the tributes in the paper. Even though you don't know the person, it some how always makes you really upset.

 

[Robert1986]

Andy Carrol.

Two things.

Shave.

Get a hair cut.

 

[Robert1986]

lol Andy.

 

[Robert1986]

35 million and can't even score a penalty.

Let me take it next time.

 

[Robert1986]

btw, Aguero coming on for City?

The hell?

 

[Robert1986]

Is this match on TV?

no

 

[Robert1986]

Palace were playing a team that plays togther every week. UTD put together a random team because younger players need games. Didn't deserve to get anything from that game. Palace played better.

Pogba looks very good! Give him a few more years and he'll be a first team XI.

 

[Robert1986]

Thats exactly why I suggested playing Morrison and Pogba in the middle together - because they are USED to playing together, random players (some of whom are out of position) just thrown together are never going to work

I still think the original 11 had the hallmarks of a team thought up at 2am without any thought to actually winning the match.

I just hope the Da Silva's arent too badly injured

SAF was probably at some horse race and one of his assistants was going through players to play for the game.

Assistant "Gibson in midfield?"
SAF "yea, whatever"

Thats how I imagine these carling cup squads get picked.
