League Cup Quarter Finals

Rikand

Doncaster Vs Blackburn in the final...Blackburn winning 10-0

Lemlin

2-2, damn you Gilberto.

Roddy23

Silva, yeeehaaaa

MrJoeSoap

The board for two minutes goes up, Arsenal start playing football, and its 2-2. Great goal.

Penalties now... (maybe!)...

mike65

No justice!

Mike.

Rikand

Poor Doncaster

Well, come on Donnies, get the penos!

Lemlin

Oh, the tension......

Rikand

dammit, one missed

two missed now

arsenal have it in the bag

Roddy23

According to BBC, Cygan just scored from a Power Penalty. (toebog to you and me). 3-1 now to Arsenal

Lemlin

What's the bets the draw will be rigged so that Man United and Arsenal don't meet until the final.

mike65

edit Arsenal go through.


Mike.

Roddy23

looks like Arsenal scraped through. Our losing streak is over now anyway.

MrJoeSoap

Fair play Doncaster. Arsenal didn't deserve it.

Rikand

arsenal and man u wont meet in the final anyways cause blackburn are gonna win it out

Roddy23

we'll have to see about that one Ricky. You wouldn't want to get too confident around these parts, after all it was 20mins ago, that ye were talking about Blackburn playing Doncaster later on.

mike65

Wigan for the Cup! Listening to fivelive Jan Molby and the commentator were pretty critical of the Arsenal players attitude (and talent).

was just wishful thinking more like, hehe

Roddy23

ah ye, sort of got the message.
If I wasn't an Arsenal supporter, would love to see Wigan do it. Jewell is a quality manager, and they play some great football.

Roddy23

Wigan v Arsenal
Blackburn v Man Utd

What a farce. I knew it would happen.

Roddy23

Lemlin, see yis in the final.

Jammy jammy arsenal, would loved to have seen Doncaster in the final... Still they did well to get this far and money so far will prob be a massive windfall for them.. I wonder will Utd Arsenal put out full strength teams next round?

Hopefully. Had to laugh at Sky's montage of the cup so far. They showed clips of all the semi-finalists except Blackburn. Not even a clip of what was probably the most exciting game of the last round, Blackburn 2-0 down with 15 minutes to go and end up winning 3-2.

woeful performance

Cyagan was ****, Senderos was ****, Lupoli was ****, it goes on. it was a great goal from Gilberto to equalise.

i think thought they deserved to go through due to the amount of chances they had and so on

Watching the highlights now. Almunia seemed to be in good form, considering conceeding two, he kept them in it at many other stages. Feel sorry for Doncaster though, but what can ya do, fantastic run all the same!

Arsenal fans - Any idea why Cregg didn't make the bench for the last 2 carling cup games? He has played more reserve football than any other midfielder yet Larsson, Song and Muamba are in the Carling cup squads ahead of him.

And Song was utter rubbish.

He got man of the match, deserved too. Says a lot about the game tbh.

Doncaster also created a lot of chances . You're right about Arsenal being very poor though, they will have to play better against Wigan to go through. Doncatser were unlucky not to progress but gave a good account of themselves.

Yeah, Man United and Arsenal never meet in the semi finals! :rolleyes:

Arsenal probably won't. Reached the semis of the CC 2 years ago and it was a mix of fringe senior players and youth in both legs (though there were a few first teamers in the 2nd leg).

Almunia saves the day again. If only his decision making wasn't so bloody awful.

PHB

United will put out a fairly strong team, but I'd imagine Van Nist + Ferdinand + Giggs + Scholes + VDS won't play.

I would like to see us in a final against Wigan, their fans deserve a final after the football they have been playing this year, that said, they'll loose

You cant be certain Wigan will lose, No result is certain with arsenal these days, they are blowing hot and cold all year, Arsenals form usually depends on whether Henry turns up on the day, they should have been beaten last night

PHB

I meant they will loose in the final
Arsenal will put out a youthful team and probably loose because of it.

Yes, in the final to Blackburn. We've had a pretty good run against Man Utd in recent times and I'm hoping that will continue. Quite a few games since they last beat us actually.
