2014/15 Capital One Cup

[jod23]

Yup I love our heated battles and the passion that our games bring out in both our supporters. There always seems to be some drama since Abramovic took over due to a combination of:

- League cup final in 2005 where Jose shushed the crowd
- CL ghost goal
- Gerrard transfer request
- Playing each other 24 times between 2004-2009 including meeting each other for three consecutive years in the CL and an FA cup semi
- Torres
- 2012 FA cup final
- Suarez biting Ivanovic
- Rafa coming to Chelsea
- Gerrard slip

Add to this the latest game plus the fact that Pool supporters are still the most vocal about Abramovic's money and it has turned into one of the great modern day rivalries, which I hope continues

Yeah very much so, unfortunately for us, you guys have had the better of the results. But you do have unlimited money and resources and the best manager in the world. It makes it tough. We're closing the gap though, even with Suarez gone.

When Eriksen hits a free-kick right... Wow...

 

[elhadjihenry]

Sheffield 2 in 2 minutes, level on aggregate!

 

[Jatz]

Oh Spurs haha

 

[elhadjihenry]

Boooo Eriksen probably wins it for the spuds

 

[Loonerty]

The Danger Dane does it again.

 

[Zidane98]

Costa charged by the FA for stamp on Can. Will get 3 games. Huge chance for City on the weekend to reignite the title race.

 

[Loonerty]

Watch Jose start Drogba over Remy.

Surely not? Drogba will do nothing against City.

It'd be a huge surprise to see him get off, but if Kuns two footed kick Luiz in the FA cup a couple of seasons back got nothing anythings possible.

Fabregas likely to be out too from the sounds of things.

He's already done it plenty of times this season.

Did he get charged for that? Usually a player will almost certainly get banned If charged by the FA.

Nah.

Agree will get banned.

 

[Cruyff14]

The Danger Dane does it again.

Could say he is danegerous.

 

[Cruyff14]

Surely not? Drogba will do nothing against City.

Jose said earlier this week that Drogba is his favourite player he's ever managed.

 

[Loonerty]

Aguero was given a yellow so nothing happened.

 

[Thistle]

Aguero was given a yellow so nothing happened.

No yellow just a free kick, which still falls under the precedent that the ref had seen the incident. No surprises as to who the official was that day... Chris Foy.

Really? *.

As I mentioned in the changes to the game you would make thread, this is one of the worst rules in football.

 

[Hawkforce]

Just watching the BBC recap of the League Cup Semis and, if anything, the stamp on Skrtel is WAY more obvious in real time (once you know what you're looking for) than the stamp on Can.

From the wide angle it's obvious how unnatural Costa's gait is. He absolutely and intentionally stamps on Skrtel - horrible stuff.

yep, one rule for city a different rule for everyone else.
lost count of the number of things thug toure got away with last season.
oh well - drogba to turn back the clock. big game player.

 

[Tulip]

Just finished the game. Well done Eriksen, and well done Shay Adams. That's what the cup is all about.

More relieved than elated right now, and looking forward to Wembley for the first time since 09.

Was a big game player 3 years ago.

Huge blow to Chelsea.

 

[Zidane98]

Go Spurs in the final.
