Along with arsenal...and Chelsea ....and Man U and...

Hmm I see a pattern.

**** Clubs?

Sheffield U., Derby, Bournemouth still in it.... with a bit of luck there could be a cup final


for Liverpool

I live in Shrewsbury. Proud of the lads last night. Beating Chelsea would have been their biggest ever result. Also wanted to draw them in the next round if we get through. I don't think Spurs have ever played Shrewsbury, certainly not inthe 20 years I've been here.

Shrew. No doubt.

Didn't Gylfi play for Shrewsbury? Or did I dream that.

I think he went there on loan from Reading for one month

Joe Hart is probably Shrewsbury's most high profile player in recent times. They loaned David Button, one of our youth goalkeepers, when Hart left.

We should amalgamate the FA and Capital One cups, they are turning into the reserve cups for the premier clubs.

I love all the Cups.
Very, very interesting game coming up tonight. City v Newcastle

Man City v Newcastle 19:45 at Etihad Stadium Preview
Stoke v Southampton 19:45 at Britannia Stadium Preview
Tottenham v Brighton 19:45 at White Hart Lane Preview

I like the fact that we have both cups, but the two-legged semi finals in the COC absolutely have to go. Semi finals at a neutral (non-Wembley) venue just like the FA Cup used to.

Man City v Newcastle 19:45 at Etihad Stadium Preview
Stoke v Southampton 19:45 at Britannia Stadium Preview


Come on .......errr..

 

[goughie1966]

Newcastle 1 up at City. Pellegrini out!

 

[BuryMeInEngland]

Apparently Pardew wasn't just a tactical genius against us, he is the same against Citeh. I wonder if he will be available when Poch gets the boot.

Echoes of April 2011 for Crouchy...

And two of those were from Simon Dawkins who I'm fairly sure doesn't even exist.

Just caught League Cup Show and was really impressed with Derby. Both them and Bournemouth have been playing some lovely fluid football. Looks like the Championship's refining itself. We can see from teams like Swansea that an attractive playing style can be successful, which is great to hear after the years of derision directed at the Championship for its general style of play.

I've watched a fair bit of Championship this season and the best teams manage to combine the blood and thunder approach with some proper flair as well. Some games have been great to watch.

Interesting Chelsea and Derby both gone full strength team and Southampton got a strong team as well

Mourinho wants every trophy going. He never fields a load of kids in the LC.
Umbrella man knows this is probably the 1st time that millions of people are aware he is the Derby manger.
As for Soton-well they are starting to smell the coffee.

Surprisingly its all derby at the moment and chelsea are playing poorly

cue a repeat of our match a couple of weeks ago
