lol arsenal in the quarters then chelski in the semis?? nice and easy competition this carling cup. be interesting to see what sort of teams the managers both put out as chelski seem to have been using quite a few first team players whereas united use the youngsters and the world cup winner....

Watford wont give you any trouble at all, especially not over 2 legs. They only beat Southampton because they're complete shite and they fell apart. They beat us because we're complete shite away from home and our team has been raped by injuries.
Liverpool have NOTHING to worry about... Until they get to the final where I think Chelsea will win it. |

The row about racism in Spanish football has taken a bizarre twist, with La Liga club Getafe's president, Angel Torres, announcing that the whole first team would play their next home game, against Villarreal in 10 days, with their faces blackened with shoe polish, to "prove" that the club is not racially prejudiced.
Torres's announcement followed ugly scenes in Getafe's home game against Barcelona on Saturday, during which the away team's striker, the Cameroon international Samuel Eto'o, was subjected to monkey chanting from a section of the crowd throughout the match. Eto'o, visibly upset by the chanting, was eventually booked for kicking the ball into the same area of fans as it ran out of play. Barcelona's Brazilian star Ronaldinho was also subjected to racial abuse in the match, which Barcelona won 2-1. "It was a stupidity from four idiots who don't represent the fans of Getafe," said Torres, promising to ban those concerned if they are identified by security cameras. "But it brings shame on the whole club. It is a silly and disagreeable way of behaving." He consulted his players, who agreed to the unconventional protest, before making his announcement. Getafe, from the southern suburbs of Madrid, is one of three teams in the top league not to have any players from racial minorities in their squad. The Spain manager Luis Aragones - who started the race row when he was overheard calling Arsenal striker Thierry Henry "a black ****" in order to motivate Henry's Spanish club-mate Jose Antonio Reyes during a training session for the national team six weeks ago - has revealed that his family asked him to quit his job over the affair. But he added: "I have never thought about resigning from my position... I think it is wrong that they [the English press] have been calling Spain racist, and calling me racist too." The president of the Spanish FA, Angel Maria Villar, will appear before the Anti-Violence Commission next week to explain comments made by Aragones before Spain's friendly with England last month. ----- Spain is so fucked up. |

so by getting all his players to dress up like the minstrals is going to show his team isnt racist? i cant see how that is going to work myself, and i see that as more of an insult than anything. do the only thing you can do, ban the guys who were chanting and ban them from all football gounds for at least 5 years just like what happened in the UK.
im not saying this will stop it however it will send a message out that it wont be tolerated. i think im right when i say since the blackburn - birmingham game and what happened with that fan who abused yorke, there have been no reports of racial chanting in the games that have taken place since (that ive heard of) i can actually picture this chairman funding a move for a black player in january just to show his club isnt racist and that would be wrong as they should be buying on a players ability and not skin colour! Racism is fucked up, not spain! |

6 out of 11 is not most, it's a small majority.
I just can't understand some (not an attack on you here btw) Man U fans hailing this as some great victory over the mortal enemy Arsenal, when United played half a reserve side against the Arsenal U21s and Jermaine Pennant. United *should* have won, if they hadn't might've been quite some time before you saw some of those players in the first team again. |

i don't think it was a great victory - it was probably one of the worst mathces i've seen in a long time, especially after missing the first 30 seconds. arsenal's U21 side was mostly all foreign. and the reserve teams of united, arsenal and chelsea could easily compete in the premiership and beat most teams.

I am thinking Arsenal and ManYoo should win tomorrow, Chelsea SHOULD win pretty easily bt I still think the geordies are a tough team home or away, they should have beaten ManYoo but were screwed, and they gave us a good run for our money in the League Cup.

You're way to kind to us there I reckon Dazz.
I think there is next to no chance of us getting anything - No Butt no Shearer Shite Defence. Though Bellamy and Kluivert seem to work well. |

You've had no Butt or Shearer for the last couple games and done ok.
To be honest IMO you're going to be better off with say Jenas and Bowyer in the middle mainly because they have more energy than Butt has, and they're going to need it tomorrow. Plus on top of that Terry and Carvalho match up to Shearer physically pretty well, whereas Bellamy and Kluivert might be able to get round the back of them, especially if you put Dyer up against Gallas, who while he's quick isn't the most natural left-back in the world. |

True should have beaten Everton though
![]() Not a fan of Dyer but he apparently played well in that game - I didn't see it. Jenas is the man though - not worldclass but very good and a model professional was delighted to see him get the captaincy. |

And yes Rob, screwed, as in they deserved to win if it wasn't for shit desicions, can you honestly argue back to any of the following: Kluivert was not offside There was no foul in Newcastle's late goal O'Brien was fouled by Rooney in the run up to the penatly (not to mention Scholes' stupid looking dive, granted Given did make contact and fouled Scholes but he went down like a cunt) |

Hilarious, Doink.
Actually, "winless" would be better. Actually, beating Birmingham would be better. Also, it's been years since a team that was leading the league at christmas actually won the league, so we'll still probably definitely win it. |
