Mid-week Football

Surprised there isn't already a thread?
Didn't think Chelsea played brilliantly and Portsmouth did a great job against them. Just goes to show their quality though I guess because they still win even when they don't play that well. In Birmingham's game when Robinson came up for the last minute corner, Joe Hart should have just booted it at the goal or at least the first player he threw it to should have :P. Well chuffed to see Heskey score in Villa's game lol. Happy for Torres as well, getting a goal in his 100th game and on a day like today. Btw yesterday at Old Trafford was the crowd singing Band Aid?? :D

Our game kicked up some controversy. Shows we have 2 players for each position that can do a job. United struggled in the first half vs our reserves.

man city got raped by spurs lol.

They sing "Feed the Scousers, let them know its Christmas time."

Oh yeah of course lol :eusa_doh:. It's nice to know that it doesn't matter what position we are in, all the mancs will still be talking about us :).

Dissappointed that Norwich lost to southhampton in the st. Johnstons Paint.

This is just getting crazy now. Wolves' team, has been 'a hot topic' in Lyon ahead of the Champion League draw tomorrow (that's if you believe Sky Sports News). Talk about crazy, this is all thanks to SKY for blowing it out of all proportion. It's funny how they (The FA) don't moan when Arsenal field their reserves during THE WHOLE of the Carling Cup, it's funny how Arsene Wenger says ''Them fielding a weak team damages the image of our league internationally!!" or something along those lines - when really he's killed the Carling Cup as we know it single handily by fielding crap teams. Hypocritical idiot.

Although I will say this, If Wolves do not win vs. Burnley then McCarthy has some questions to answer.

Mick McCarthy's head must have said to him "Right, we're going to Old Trafford. They've just lost to Villa, they're not the same team as last year and we've just beaten Spurs away, what team shall I field? Yes, the reserves, should do the trick"

I can understand the logic in doing it but bit strange seeing as you could have knicked a result. Bit different the Carling Cup though. He wants his kids to have experience, the Carling Cup is a **** competition and everyone rests players. Hardly to blame is he.

The Carling Cup (Worthington Cup), actually used to be very credible before he started putting his kids in to play. McCarthy new we probably wouldn't get the result at Old Trafford, even if we nicked a point it really wouldn't have been worth putting our first team through another huge game. The game against Spurs really did take it out of our team, just that Sky Sports don't bother to publicise this cause they're ****. Although I totally agree, if we don't beat Burnley then it would have all been for nothing.

At first, when I went to the pub to watch it (foreign channels ftw), I was hugely pissed off when I saw the team announced, but after thinking about it, it did actually make some sense, even though I was still a bit disappointed. My uncle went to the game last minute cause his friend dropped out, paid £60 in total for ticket + petrol last minute, how pissed off would you be? :P

The only reason he did it was because he knew the match against burnley is big and they had no chance with united. Got walked all over, so hardly shows they have 2 players for every postion.


We had a good game with arsenal last night, should of won in the end considering that fletchers goal was onside. That linemas was against him all game.
