Carling Cup round of 16 thread

[ShearMagic9]

Anyway, the other two games are both in extra time.

Villa take a 2-1 lead against Burnley thanks to Stewart Downing - Albrighton given a straight red card 2 minutes later.

West Ham have come from 1-0 down to lead 2-1 as well.

yeah ranger kid is impressive.

Attwell is the worst referee because he can't control games - but Marriner is just flat out shit at making decisions.

In a position of authority, neither have an authoritative personality. As much as the regular guys like Dean and Webb get bagged, they at least come across with a don't cross the boss mentality.

I didn't see too many scary tackles. Wasn't watching all 90 mins but thought the game looked to be played in a good spirit, dodgy foul for second goal (meaning he was involved in play therefore offside) notwithstanding. Newcastle were good, just a bit unlucky and lacked the quality to finish.

Slightly gay new username of fanny crows is slightly gay.

Is the pun intended in his new username?

Harharharhar.

Well Newcastle have every right to feel annoyed, an own goal and a very dubious goal sunk them. I don't really feel like we deserved to win, though we were the better team but as all Arsenal fans should know by now, the better team doesn't always win. Marriner was making some really horrible decisions.

There were definitely bad tackles on both side, it just seemed as if Barton had no reason to take down Fabs as the game had finished by that stage.

Hats off to Szczesny and Koscielny, played well. And how good is Theo's finishing these days?

Still just a shit Aaron Lennon

There is such a gulf between the two, you can't even compare them anymore. Theo has just improved massively since last season.

Don't bother, just like nasri is nowhere near modric

Just stumbled upon this thread now. Is there going to be a quarter final one?

 

[Jessica Watson]

Someone will make one when it comes around again.

 

[belfast_bomber]

Draw's on Saturday, thread will be started then I'd imagine.

Not by me, I'm going to the International Rules in Croke Park to roar abuse at Collingwood players.

When you see Dane Swan, walk by him and say 'C. Judd - Carlton, 3 votes'.

 

[Benno_900]

Home draw please. Don't care against who ... Bendtner will own all.

F**k sake, I knew I forgot to do something early this morning (Wake up!)...

Sounds like we played well. I saw Gibbs was subbed early, how bad was the injury?

 

[Jessica Watson]

Ask Dr. RDub, looks like a medial.

 

[r dub 19]

Think my prognosis is on point. 4-6 weeks imo.

 

[centrelink1]

I wouldn't mind drawing anyone, so long as its not Arsenal/United. Problem is, given our form this season, I don't know if I want it home or away.
