Indeed, they were a massive 7/1 on some exchanges today but not sure that big on the high street. Some people have got a pretty penny in their pocket tonight.

Based on a certain other result that took place last night, subject to finances I might have to treat myself to a visit to Wembley on April 7th

Didn't realise you supported Crewe as well as Everton

 

[balne-wonderer]

I've just seen highlights and interviews after the Milan - Barcelona game.

Is Muntari not well? Did anybody see his eyes? Jeez.

Both ex Portsmouth players that got the goals amazingly.

This match is an opportunity to get revenge over Crewe for beating Southend in the League Two play-offs last year

...although having lost both Finals the team have played in 2-0 (2004 and 2005, the latter AET), I'm not overly hopeful.

Thank you, David Coleman

You're only saying that because I cut the mustard with my football sayings....

Well im chiffed with a win even if it was from a penalty as I never thought we would get a result in 90 over there.

Onwards!!

The Capital One Cup Final then...
Swansea City v Bradford City
One for 'proper' football fans, and for the neutral, you seriously don't mind who wins, good luck to both sides, hope their fans really enjoy the 'limelight'

Got to be Abertawe for my money - mind you I remember Birmingham beating Arsenal the other year

 

[SS4]

Story of our season, playing decently but losing

At the moment we need QPR and Newcastle to lose and Reading and Wigan to draw as well as scoring of course

 

[ACE1888]

Manchester United 15 points clear now, winning 2-0 at 'doomed' QPR
Plymouth Argyle now bottom of the Football League
'Newco' Rangers FC 'apologise' DURING the match with Berwick Rangers on ESPN today for 'sectarian singing' during the match. Fair play to the Club for an immediate 'reaction' to it though

 

[familyguy99]

First time in over six years that I miss Oldham home game today due to that I was ill but aleast they won 1-0 against Portsmouth who had player sent off, it also first time that Latics won three matches in row (League) since Nov 2010 and also been good day for Oldham as other teams around them lost today too (Scunthorpe, Bury and Colchester teams that lost)

I see Man Utd won 2-0 against QPR today and now 15 points clear at top of Premiership table and u have to think, if Man City were to lose to Chelsea tomorrow then surely Man Utd have won Premiership as 15 points gap would be hard to get and Man Utd would have go on bad run too.

 

[Ivo]

Now this is what we like to see: A nice close battle for the title! Take note PL. (The number in brackets represents games played.)

League One

Sheff Utd    60 (33)
Swindon      59 (33)
Tranmere     59 (34)
Doncaster    59 (33)
Yeovil       58 (33)
Bournemouth  58 (34)
Brentford    55 (32)

 

[YorkshireBear]

I really dont like that top place!!!! In all seriousness i do, if Sheff wed go down i want Sheff Utd to stay down, it Sheff Wed stay up i want Sheff Utd to go up.

I'm gutted!

I've really enjoyed this season's League Cup, and followed it as a neutral fan. I've just checked to see which TV channel it's on tomorrow and am disappointed that it's not on normal TV.

I'll still be listening on the radio though! Good luck to both teams, and thanks for an entertaining competition for a change. Enjoy your day

Whata joke its only on sky sports one, what happened to cup finals being guarateed on normal channels!

Obviously the league cup isn't considered important enough. Shame

Pleased with the win for United today, QPR away was a game I was worried out, plus facing Harry Redknapp teams means there's always a chance of an upset. Hoping RVP (hobbled off today) and Jones will be fit for Champions League, and looking forward to Rafael's goal on MOTD later.

I agree it is a good cup final for neutral fans.
A proper football fan is one that enjoys all things football, and not just a specific club.

Champions League

A C Milan 2...F C Barcelona 0

Quite a remarkable result.

Most REMARKABLE fact about this, both the scorers used to play for Pompey

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Obviously, I cannot miss a chance to link into the comment stated in the posting above....

Oldham Athletic 1...Portsmouth 0

Yet another three more valuable points in their never-ending annual fight against relegation....A lucrative away cup replay at Everton on Tuesday night should also put some more coffers into the fighting fund.

We had a lad in our youth team at Gloucester City a few years ago called Alex Cuthbert, bear in mind that we're at the sixth tier of football in this county and were at the seventh at the time. He was a winger, fast as lightning but essentially not good enough to harness his pace into making him a good player.

He stopped playing football and started playing rugby instead.

Yesterday he scored a try for Wales.

I think rugby is so far behind football when it comes to skill and talent it's unreal.

no - that is someone with an interest in football.

Anyway - good luck to Bradford City today at Wembley. Dreams do come true!

I assume from thispost you've never played rugby. Rugby involves a hell of a lot more skill! I've played both, Football at level 10, and rugby at level 8I can safely say rugby involves a lot more skill.

Really refreshing to see the Fans of Swansea and Bradford enjoy their 'Wembley moment', a one sided final, but both sets of fans having a really party, a credit to their respective clubs

Only a shame it's not on BBC 1

Highlights are on at 1125, its disgraceful a cup final is only being shown on sky.

 

[MidnightFlyer]

I haven't seen the match but it is good to see that the referee still applied that laws of the game and dismissed the Bradford 'keeper, seen a lot of idiots complaining about ruining Matt Duke's big day... :roll:
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Despite that, well done Swansea (though apparently they just sung songs about hating Cardiff all afternoon...), it's a result that Bradford should have felt a long time ago. I'm not actually certain if I'll watch the highlights later, the game would have been so much better (from a viewing aspect, not a fair aspect) if it was a scrappy end to end game, in reality it took Bradford 87 mins to get a shot on goal!
