League Cup semi finals thread

[Shaggy]

Don't ask me why but I'm looking forward to getting away from all the LFC-related stresses and watching some blood and thunder Cup football.

Two cracking games in the 1st legs, and Spurs-Arsenal tonight should be another belter.

Can't stand either side, but I'll probably be rooting for Spurs tonight to end the myth about this Arsenal "kids team".



Tottenham: Cerny, Chimbonda, Dawson, King, Lee, Lennon, Jenas, Tainio, Malbranque, Keane, Berbatov

Subs: Robinson, Boateng, Defoe, Huddlestone, O'Hara

Arsenal: Fabianski, Sagna, Justin Hoyte, Gallas, Traore, Hleb, Denilson, Silva, Diaby, Walcott, Bendtner

Subs: Mannone, Fabregas, Eduardo, Flamini, Adebayor

1-0 Jenas.

Good start, Wenger has taken 1 risk too many in my opinion. His team isnt that strong when you put up against a full strength spurs team.

Id expect we will see Fabregas and Adebayor after half-time if he wants to win this

[-V-]

Scratch that, Fabregas on already

Scratch that, Fabregas on already

In fairness that's down to an injury to Denilson.

Spurs fans singing 'sit down you paedophile', en masse, to Wenger. How very Manc of them.

:whatever:

I hate Spurs. Theor fans are cocks. I want Arsenal to win and then beat either the Chavs or the blue ****e in the final.

2-0 Spurs. Bendtner OG.

[Shaggy]

Berbatov clean through for 3-0 and hits the post. **** me.

Wenger will need to make changes fast or he can forget it. He's got Adeybayor, Eduardo and Flamini on the bench. Probably see the 2 strikers on before long

Yeah Walcott and Bendtner have been very ineffective.

Kaip.....predictable man, predictable

HT- Spurs have done really well and throughly deserve their two goals. Spurs have harried and hustled Arsenal high up the pitch and Keane has made a very uncharacteristically poor Gallas work really hard. Arsenal need to make changes as their defence looks very fragile and are lacking creativity. Half time couldn't have come at a better time.

Jenas goal- why didn't anyone stick their leg out? Good drive, good finish.
Bendtner OG- very unlucky

3-0 - Keane

[Shaggy]

And Bendtner hits the bar instantly after going 3-0 down!
