Premiership opposition so at least won't be as embarrassing as Blackburn or Bradford this time.

for embarrassment nothing will top losing to the soon to be relegated birmingham city in the final. i just checked their wiki page to see what they've been up to since then (not pretty) and all i could do is shake my head and say "fuckin wenger" when i saw this under "Honours":

If we don't win this final it will be 9 years.......

Jus' sayin...

MistaT

Jay Emmanuel Thomas running the show two days ago with Bristol.

Couldn't cut it here but he's talented no doubt.

I was hoping Tottenham would get knocked out having played on Sunday and being away to Villa. They have just scored the 3rd though and lead 3-0. They have dominated to be fair. Villa have been useless since they beat us.

Everton losing to Fulham, while City and Chelsea also winning comfortably.

Every clean sheeted victory for Spurs bugs the hell out of me.

Captain

Thread opened a month ago, one round almost done, eight posts. Big competition, this.

Alfonso

More games for Spurs the better.

They will win fuck all this season anyway.

MistaT

Huge miss by Coleman (would have tied the game).

Patters

We could've fired three or four past them. Their performance on the weekend will be interesting. Very much hope they beat Chelsea. Not worried about them. They're a UEFA cup side who have made UEFA cup signings.

They'll struggle to get enough points against the top half of the league because AVB is tactically moronic. He'll play his little fairweather flair players and tell them to score more goals than the opposition. They won't keep it tight for long.

Spurs were lucky not to give away a penalty though when Vertonghen clearly pulled the Villa striker's pants down as he was trying to get a shot away.

This was when the score was at 1-0.

Klaus

I didn't even realise that half of the games were played today.

Now how is that not worse than just threatening to blind an Orc?

Ditto. This comp is really just a platform for a few youngster highlights reels for me, at least until the semi-finals or so.

Jed

Can't believe we lost to Villa at home. They're shocking.

Burnwinter

Ask Capi, he'll tell you confidently that the ref was bought. We certainly got screwed on every decision.

Biggus

Well.....We didn't have Flamini available then.

y va marquer

Just saw Chicarito's goal.
He's got the knack, good reflexes, nicely improvised
