Title: carling cup Post by: adje on Sunday, February 28, 2010, 15:01:37 It bugs me that all season the media keeps telling us that this cup is meaningless yet when it comes to the day its one of the "major trophies".Anyway I hope Owen and Milner have outstanding games.
Title: Re: carling cup Post by: Processed Beats on Sunday, February 28, 2010, 15:04:50 Cant believe its only Owen's first Wembley final :O
Title: Re: carling cup Post by: iffy on Sunday, February 28, 2010, 15:05:32 so much for the united fans 'sea of green and gold'
Title: Re: carling cup Post by: Processed Beats on Sunday, February 28, 2010, 15:08:22 1-0 Villa already
Title: Re: carling cup Post by: Oaksey Moonraker on Sunday, February 28, 2010, 15:08:45 Mike Ingham made a nice reference to the Don in 1969 on how the finals in the 1960's made the League Cup what it was.
PS Top bird signing the national anthem and her surname was Kerslake, is she related to David Kerslake? Title: Re: carling cup Post by: santasdead on Sunday, February 28, 2010, 15:14:40 Villa defence is all over the place.
1-1 Title: Re: carling cup Post by: Processed Beats on Sunday, February 28, 2010, 15:20:27 Owen for England? ;)
Title: Re: carling cup Post by: ronnie21 on Sunday, February 28, 2010, 15:54:35 1-0 Villa already And the ref has bottled it!Title: Re: carling cup Post by: reeves4england on Sunday, February 28, 2010, 16:01:35 Goodness knows how Vidic is still on the pitch - the commentators have overstated the point but it has to be said United have got away with a lot. Nice finish from Owen, shame he's had to go off injured.
Villa started well but haven't been able to break United down since it went to 1-1 really. Title: Re: carling cup Post by: pauld on Sunday, February 28, 2010, 16:03:56 so much for the united fans 'sea of green and gold' I don't know - every time the camera goes near United fans, they all seem to be wearing the green and yellow scarves. It's quite disconcerting, I keep finding myself wondering why St Johns Ambulance are randomly dotted throughout the crowdTitle: Re: carling cup Post by: adje on Sunday, February 28, 2010, 16:09:25 So Dennis Tueart won an award for best ever League cup moment-I wish us Town fans had a chance to vote,never heard anything about it til now.

Title: Re: carling cup Post by: pauld on Sunday, February 28, 2010, 17:10:21 I didn't see it either adje - should have had a thread of its own
Title: Re: carling cup Post by: Spencer_White on Sunday, February 28, 2010, 17:13:10 In a pub at Liverpool street Football Focus showed some clips of our 1969 win!
Set all the lads off singing and all the other punters left! Title: Re: carling cup Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Sunday, February 28, 2010, 17:20:57 Can't stand Man U. They get lucky with the refs decisions again.

Title: Re: carling cup Post by: reeves4england on Sunday, February 28, 2010, 20:07:14 We're in 2nd too, the wrong end of it though. cunting Paul Robinson. Wasn't Griemink's first yellow card for handball in that game, despite him being inside the area? If that hadn't happened, he wouldn't have been sent of for the challenge on Smith, and Robinson wouldn't have scored the header. Not that I'm bitter...Title: Re: carling cup Post by: Batch on Sunday, February 28, 2010, 20:35:31 Wasn't Griemink's first yellow card for handball in that game, despite him being inside the area? Correct. God my memory is shot. I thought he saw a straight red for the handball. Either way a card was shown, and it was for handball despite being inside the area.

Because of the fact that I voted for our triumph in that poll I was entered into a prize draw and today received a replica of the match ball from yesterday's final in the post. Shame I'm too fucking old to play football anymore :D Title: Re: carling cup Post by: leefer on Monday, March 1, 2010, 20:06:04 Can't stand Man U. They get lucky with the refs decisions again. 28 trophies in 23 years isnt down to luck...but agree about Vidic.
