Worrying times ..... We are now 11/10 to win this cup now !!!!! Chelsea 3/1, Villa 43/10 and Bradford 9/1. Wtf. My signature says it all!
'38th minute: Swansea 1-0. Ivanovic fails to control a pass from the keeper, lets it slip under his foot, De Guzmen races onto it before unleashing what has to be the sexiest Spaniard of all time. Thank you Swansea for bringing this man into our lives!!! Anyway, homo-erotic sentiment aside, Michu finishes easily past the keeper to send the Welsh team a goal up. And the shirt's coming off! Not Michu's, mine #ohyeahhhhh' Just picked this up off the Newcastle board, hilarious!
Bloody Genius ..... For those who haven't seen it ...... http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/189331-Chelsea-vs-Swansea-(Capital-One-Cup) GANDALF, PLEASE PLEASE CAN YOU DO OUR THREADS AGAIN.....I will see if I can nick something off Michu's line for ya in return
Hey Lads and Lasses, well done for last night, I hope your good luck continues and takes you all the way to Wembley. I see you discovered our little Gem, 'Gandalf' let's hope he's available for the next leg, I shudder to think what state he'll be in when we next play Swansea, Michu, Cabaye, Debuchy all in the same game........best have a medic or first Aider on standby.
Leeds fan in peace ...& we were singing hymns & arias, Land of my Fathers, & 'arry's got a horse (sorry, don't have a Welsh dictionary on my computer) Congrats lads. Hope you do enough at your place & then play the Bantams in the final. Good luck for the rest of your season
Did you know? The Chelsea fans are happy that their wages bill has now dropped - to £171M per year. Wow. Kind of puts things into perspective.
Amazing how the same man waxes lyrical about Chelsea being European Champions when they one the final in the exact same manner, but scoring less.
Away goals do not count in this comp, meaning the likelihood of penalties are more probable. Hopefully we will do the job at home, but as penalties are a potential issue ...... Vorm or Tremmel?? I really am 50/50 on this, which shows how good a job Tremmel has done, but I would feel much safer with Vorm the penalty killer should that situation arise. Also, Tremmel is out of contract in June.....sort it out HJ!
Away goals do count though may be a moot point in this case if we don't score because Chelski have to score two away goals like we did just to draw level. However if we score (say, score is 1-3) we'll go through. Apparently the rule came in in 79-80. http://www.soccer.mistral.co.uk/books/flctext.htm Vorm is the pen specialist. Could bring him on as sub late in the game should it come to that?
Away goals only count after extra time. I can't see him dropping Tremmel now as he's stuck with him right through the competition. It would be a travesty to drop him now after he's done so well
Cheers lads ....... strange ruling that away goals only count after extra time ....... then that potentially gives us an extra lifeline>>>> http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereve..._does_carling_cup_away_goals_rule_favour_city
To be honest I think it favours Chelsea more than us. It could mean they get an extra half hour to get their away goals. If it's 2-0 to them after 90 mins we'll be all square, but if they score in extra time it would mean we'd need another 2
