Carling Cup Semi Finals et al

[Matt]

Oh what the fuck. Roy Carroll you stupid Irish fuck

Northern Irish*

>_<

Does anyone outside of Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland actually give a damn?

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Anderson is apparently fucked? Didn't sound good from what Ferguson said after the game, which is terrible news. I still thinks he's more of an important player than most people think. Derby are dirty fucks, a tonne of injuries tonight.

[The Future]

Rafael is going to be out for a month not good considering our lack of defensive cover but good news is that Wes Brown is coming back from injury. Hopefully Evans is fine as he has been excellent in Ferdinand's absence

[stokeriño]

Wes Brown is coming back from injury

Really? When?

[The Future]

By this month I think..I am not sure I remember reading it in one of the United fanblogs.

Spurs are going 4-5-1 tonight with Jermain Defoe as the lone striker. Hmm, I'm guessing that's not going to work.

Bent misses out completely, Pav & Campbell on the bench with Dos Santos, Taarabt and Rocha. Alnwick starts in goal, Gunter & Assou-Ekotto start in defence and Huddlestone's back in the team!

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

BAE...What the hell was that?! Lucky Alnwick appears to be brilliant. Just as well really.

We have to be playing the shortest attacking lineup in history and I could see us easily going 2-0 down tonight if we;re not careful and settle things down.

Modric wins header in "signs of the coming apocalypse" shocker.

[Scott McFly]

Figured Huddlestone would get a start tonight so stuck a quid on him at 16/1 for first goalscorer. C'mon son.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Good bet on Huddlestone. (Y)

The longer we keep it 0-0 the quieter the home fans will get and hopefully the more desperate Burnley will get.

[Baddar]

Alnwick :fplm:

[Scott McFly]

Goddam, I only turned over for 5 minutes! What the hell happened? Alnwick mess up?

[IAceI]

A 16 year old needed a good shagging is my bet and he was quick to the scene.

[Baddar]

To say he messed up would be a bit harsh I suppose. It was a Burnley free-kick out on the right, and Alnwick expected a cross to come in as Blake took it right footed, but instead put it into the near corner.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Bwahahahahahaha.

etc.

[stokeriño]

That was so ridiculously cruel.

Oh well. Another Spurs/United tie. I shan't be racing to the TV for that one.

[Captain Kirk]

Gutted for Burnley, they can get their revenge next year when Spurs are in the championship I guess.

[Adam]

I am gutted for Burnley. Spurs are lucky, and nobody deserves to be in a major final after that performance. The following sentence has never been uttered by me in the past and likely never will be again.

I hope Man Utd beat the crap out of them.

Seriously, how annoying. Plus I wanna see Everton in the Europa League next year, not a Championship side like Spurs

[ONO]

Unlucky Burnley, though it just means Utd will beat them in the final and Spurs out of Europe next year.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Interestingly the bbc sport forum has descended into vitriolic ranting of hatred against Spurs for having tha audacity to actually not give up and TRY to score the goal they needed. GASP! How DARE they!

People are just upset about not being able to laugh at Spurs for giving away their three goal lead and lose. If there's anything people like to do, it's laugh at Tottenham when we lose.

Apparantly people are now "understanding why Arsenal fans hate Spurs", "embarrassed for English football to have this team, this overpaid illiterate bunch of 'sportsmen' representing them in Europe" and various other disappointed Premiership fan-wanting-an-upset ramblings.

Tough.

Off we go to Wembley.
