Some super games and results in the latest round of the Carling cup, biggest shocks were Liverpool losing at home to Northampton on penalties after the other merseyside team Everton were dumped out by Brentford last night.
Liverpool losing always brings a smile to my face as all the scouse fans I know still live in the eighties and think Liverpool are still a top team, results like this prove the reality :) although I'm slightly sad for Roy Hodgson who I like unlike the previous manager Rafa twat Benitez.
Tipping Everton for a top 4 finish seems to have put the curse on them as they also lost on pens but you have to blame Moyes for playing fat lump Yakubu up front who as he showed in the World cup cannot hit the target from 2 yards out with an open goal.
Best game of the round was Newcastle beating Chelsea 4-3 made more impressive by the fact that Chelsea had more first teamers playing than the bar codes and the ref gave Chelsea a really dubious penalty.
There seemed to be a sniper in the ground as well as Alex, Kaloou and Benny all collapsed without anyone touching them.
West Ham won yay!!! Obinna looked impressive again and Piquionne managed to hit the target :)
Man City crashed out, Man U eased through, Villa came back from a goal down to win 3-1 with Heskey scoring!, Bolton blew out to Burnley, Stoke kicked out Fulham in more ways than one, and Arsenal who are the masters of playing kids and reserves in this competition stuffed the spuds 4-1.
Hopefully the next round will bring the same excitement, c'mon you Irons.
We deserved to lose Lee but it was a great game of football and we have to take it on the chin. Liverpool's result is a classic though and definately the result of the round.
