City v Arsenal, Blackburn v Chelsea [league cup]

Raskolnikov

In fairness, this is a completely meaningless game for Arsenal. The likes of Eastmond and Merida were always going to be destroyed against a full strength Man City team.

Think he must be ok. Chelsea still firm favourites to go through.

Chelsea @1/2
Blackburn @almost 2/1

2140: Chelsea, down to 10 men after that injury to Salomon Kalou, force Paul Robinson into a decent save from Florent Malouda's long-range effort.

How come Chelsea are such warm favourites?

Cause they are Chelsea! Hustling again it seems before the City game.

Really don't understand Wenger, what is it that he is trying to win at the expense of the League Cup?

CHD

Hold on for two more mins then we will win in extra time, unless your bet is in 90 mins...

What the hell is wrong with me. I keep on forgetting about that famous Chelsea hustle!

That said I've just backed Blackburn to qualify @2.8.

He wants to give his youths games against good teams and won't lose crucial points by doing so. Fairly obvious.

Avoiding possible injuries to key players.

Hmm its going to end 4-2 I'd say.

Dosen't sound like we are up to much with 10men.

of course I do

it would of been nice to see chelsea win in normal time but seeing chelsea knocked out in the extra time would be superb

Pighead

Get in there Blackburn! Amazingly they are still available @1.4! They're 3-2 up, at home and are playing against 10 men Chelsea. Surely they should be about 1/4 or 1/5 at this stage?

Chelsea 13/5 to go through now and 6/1 to win extra time.

But Arsenal aren't really likely to factor in the titlerace, while Wenger can hope, the man is smart and knows as much. Hes been in the situation for a number of years now, when is he gonna accept that any trophy is better than none?

Wenger didn't shake Hughes' hand after the final whistle.

Just said in his post-match "I am free to shake hands with who I like"....

The problem is he's making himself sound like a big girl. Petty stuff from Wenger.

Because it's not true.He instructed the team have a fight with Chelsea in that final a couple of years ago so the supporters would remember we were in it.

2215: And that's half-time in extra time at Ewood Park. Sam Allardyce, recovering from heart surgery, is apparently at home watching the game on TV.

How the **** is he watching.:mad:
