Yeah so there might be a Premiership game on but no one cares about that. It's all about the first round of the Carling Cup. What do you mean it's a joke competition that no one takes seriously?

We are playing Wycombe, yes that's right, last seasons semi finalists.

0-0 currently. Argyle have won one Carling cup game in 15 years so I don't hold out much hope.

I see Morecambe are beating Preston...

So yeah, post about your team playing tonight and stuff.

they aren't

but petr cech had best be on guard tomorrow!!!


Oh yes.

The mighty Royals will steamroller all opposition in their mighty march to 12th place.


11th i'd say,

but you know, a point at old traff aint to be shunned!


FOR FUCKS SAKE

EVERTON 1 (NOT SO) MIGHTY SPURS 0


true

what was gardner doing


oh god no

2 clowns at the back now


we're playing some awesome stuff in midfield and up front

but look so dodgy at the back it's laughable.


yeah thats what 3 CB's out will do

we look pretty darn good when we have the ball though!!


he is a hero!

zokora really is turd though isnt he?

I cant kid myself any more. dont know why jol is either.


hes alright!

cant shoot for shit, bit of a dick. not bad at protecting back 4 though, and they need it now!


fuck

we really dont deserve to be losing


fucks sake

fucking hell. bollocks.

fuck it. get rocha off. stick defoe on and play 4 up front.


SAUCY!

Osman and Lescott get a goal each, all I need now is Berbatov to net one and Ill have gotten a million fantasy league points! (approx.)


what the hell is going on

3-1?

we deserve 1-1 at the worst


it could be worse

spurs were never even linked to titus bramble.


i feel the pain

its a joke. i thought we would do this well and i want to cry now.


Don't worry

Bent is going to score two, and Malbranque is going to fluke one. Or Ill eat my delicious tofu hat


Umm... Zokora's played well

Every time he gets the ball, he looks to surge forward or spread it out wide. Did brilliantly to get back to tackle Osman when Johnson played him into space in the box. Seriously, I really don't get what people's problem with Zokora is.

Jenas, on the other hand, is a waste of fucking space. A couple of his corners have been pretty good (notably the one we scored from), but if he's not being totally and utterly anonymous, he's giving the ball away.

Think Martin Jol's been massively cowardly for this match. I know we've played alright, but I would have liked to see him ring the changes after Saturday's performance. Defoe and Bent up front, Routledge and Taarabt on the wings, Huddlestone in midfield with Zokora.


Hudd should play more often i agree

but dunno about routledge and taarabat (yet).

i think we didnt play particularly shit at the weekend. sunderland just got everyone behind the ball and we didnt do enough to break them down. wasnt awful.


3-1

Spurs look falling on their arse this season. Too many forwards and only one proper defender.


only one?

King? Dawson? Kaboul? thats 3. They are just injured.


not true

we have about 40 million pounds worth of defenders injured at the moment.

aaaagh this is sooooo shit.


Carling Cup Question

aren't Premiership teams supposed to have a bye into some later round? I'm sure they used to. Sunderland are playing the 'mingham in the first round tomorrow.


They join in the fun in the second round.

Sunderland will be playing a Premiership tie tomorrow.


I thought so!

The fixture list with Roy Keane's face on it is deliberately trying to confuse me :(


or the third round i believe,

dependent on past performances. or is it past premiership performances. i dunno.


All I care about tonight,

is Berbatov and Arteta both getting hat-tricks.


Its all about

Emile Sinclair.


The new great young hope for Forest?

In other news Norwich are laying the smackdown on Barnet. Already 5-0...


He's on the bench tonight

but reminds me of a young Marlon Harewood. Yep, that good.


Nobody cares about the Carling Cup

Bitter and embarrassed Southampton fan.


Peterborough are a good team though.

They should be in the chase for the League 2 title this season. Purely by having more money then the other teams.


not true

the core of their side was there last season - they also play excellent football

I LOVE Peterborough


Its all about

Ferguson.


5-0

COME ON! TAKE THAT BARNET!

I love football!


5-0!


balls.

piss off crystal palace.


Bristol City 1 - 0 Brentford

Sweet.

And Rovers are losing.
:)


And Exeter are also 1-0 up

*Blue Sq premier - centric*


Exeter City.

One of the biggest jokes in modern football. Not that I'm biased...


Go on Plymouth!

a great day for football!

MK Dons 2-0 Ipswich!


Us winning a Carling Cup game...

What the fuck is happening?!?


Rejoice

it's a day for the good guys!


2-0!!!

Have you seen our new away kit? It looks like a shit Norwich kit, it's one of the worst I've ever seen.

http://www.argylesuperstore.co.uk/prods/760/

Modeled by the glamorous and stylish Lilian Nalis.


i like it


me too


It's even worse then our orange away kit.

And that's saying something.


fuck football

fuck this season. fucking shit.

I'm off to support man u & chelsea & barcelona.


if it helps

I see Norwich are beating Barnet 5-0!


for the next 45 mins

i shall support norwich then, to cheer myself up.

JEREMY GOSS


good work

maybe we'll make the loan permanent!

I haven't been this happy since saturday's miraculous goalless draw at Preston!


hold on

since when did barnet get back in the league? that passed me by.*shrugs*

IAN CULVERHOUSE


they were there

last season!

ROBERT ROSARIO


really?

who's scored for norwich today? Did Ryan Jarvis ever get good? My mate used to rave about him.

RUEL FOX <3


He was

extremely promising for a while. Saw him score a cracker against Liverpool when we were in the Prem.

Seems to have dropped back a bit - it looks like Chris Martin is the one most likely to break through now.

Cureton x2
Lappin
Fotheringham
Russell

IAN CROOK


Just found out...

Any Premiership clubs in Europe enter in the third round, if not it's the second round for you.


lol @ Spurs


*killer


dang

could have showed my dis credentials there


Was there not part of you

that wanted us to get utterly thrashed by the last 15 minutes of the match? Just in case Jol or the team weren't sure this wasn't good enough. No one even had positions by the end of it. At least it all seems to surreal to really get upset.


*too surreal


Kings lucky hes a good player

he doesnt seem too bright does he?


ledley?

seems like a right poindexter to me.


What on earth is going on?!

I predicted this Spurs side to break into the top 4!


ha

it took him about 15 seconds to say errr... when you are a defender and you let in goals you might be dissapointted.

fascinating insight there ledley.

i do love him though


Arteta

gets better and better with every game. A genuine quality player.

He could have me


Indeed!


Cheers!

You must be looking forward to Saturday, your lot are going to hump us out of sight


on current form

but I wouldn't bet on it


I could have you.

2-1 now, extra time and losing on penalties beckons.


Yes, yes you could.

lol@profilepic


YAY!

Make that 2 Carling Cup wins in 15 years!


at least this season will be over by the end of august for us

so we don't have to keep hoping till the end of march like normal.

I'm going to get drunk.


im gonna remain optimistic

still got a good squad and loads of players to come back/ new signings. and we havent hit form or anything like it yet and have been fairly unlucky.

can still do ok.

but i maintain. fucking football!


hahaha

good luck to you and your optimism, but you've wasted alot of money as a club.


wasted money?

on who?? We've made a profit on virtually everyone we've sold in the last 5 years.


spurs

breaking into the bottom four


We love you everton

we do oooooohhh EVERTON WEEE LOVE YOU!Take that Spurs and your 40 million on signings. More money than sense, as usual.


speaking as an arsenal fan

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

spurs haven't addressed any of their actual problems, and they've actually given themselves less options up front by selling that clod Mido.


isnt the real problem

their diabolical midfield? if the strikers had service they might actually put a few away


yes

Despite the fact that they've bought every promising british midfielder in the last few years, they're still rotton on the wings without Lennon.


yeah we need lennon back

desperately.

also i im interested to see how good this boateng is. 5 mil for a young midfielder= better be good


From what I've seen...

not that good, he's got some promise perhaps but he's got a bad attitude as well.


yeah ive heard that

Jol could sort him out though


malbranque played alright tonight

and wouldve done much better if he was down the right. Hopefully Bale will develop into a midfielder.


well no

but if he does in the next season or 2 that problem position could be solved for the next 10 years....


annoyingly i agree with you

(apart from the mido bit)

you won't find that many spurs fans who were delighted with bent's signature.

Still: Arsenal haven't addressed any of their actual problems, and they've actually given themselves less options up front by selling that clod Henry.


yeah bent= good player

but we dont need him do we really? we needed a left midfielder, and a real creative dominant centre mid.


i hope we get guti

even though i dont much like him.
