The English League Cup Final


Man C 3-1 Sunderland

Sunderland were more than good value for a 1 to zero lead for 55 minutes, then two great goals from Toure & Nasri turned the game for City.

Gus & the Black Cats fans should be proud of the way their team played today at Wembley.

:smile:
 
Not sure if the timestamp thing works, but from 01:10 and on til you notice it:D

I was laughing hard:D

Wigan are the FA Cup holders and are currently a Tier 2 - T2 (Second Division) Club.
Sheffield Utd are a T3 Club, with Sean Bean as their celebrity supporter.

EDIT:
DBL Highlights.
A hatrick for Huntelaar, but a LOL penalty in Schalke's 4 to zero win. Bayern Munich batter Wolfsberg by 6 to zero.
Dortmund get a narrow 1 to zero win, but should have got 4 or 5, but Dan happy! :happy:

UEFA Europa League - Round of 16
(Second Leg)

Benfica 2-2 Tottenham
(agg 5-3)

Well, Spurs losing the home leg 1-3 wasn't a good start, maybe it's a good thing. The race for next year's Europa League place, 5th in the EPL, will be close one with Everton & Man U.
Tottenham have more Euro experience now and less to worry about this season.

:smile:
 
Quarter finals:
  • AZ Alkmaar - Benfica Lissabon
  • FC Basel - FC Valencia
  • Olympique Lyon - Juventus Turin
  • FC Porto - FC Sevilla
With two Spanish and Portuguese teams out of eight teams, they managed to avoid national duels. Nice.
 
Very exciting el Clasico going on right now, can go both ways :) 2-2 after 50 minutes.
 
Oh man. Great game, again. :) Three penalties, red card, seven goals...
 
And some other things that never change...

Yeah, both him and Pepe were asshats in that situation. I like to see some video of what Busquets did, none seems to exist unfortunately..

*edit*

Found some footage:

That's Pepe's fault for still playing Football when he should have became a butcher instead. Idk how someone who can do this:

is still allowed to play.
Did you see the advertising in the background? 2009 Peace Cup - lol. Well to be fair the forward did look like he was 'simulating'.

It doesn't matter, if he is, he will be brought to justice by the referee with a yellow, not by Mr Butcher with his foot.
 
BBC investigation: Is the Premier League failing disabled fans?

Following the article above last month, BBC Sport did a survey which made the news today.

Summary:
BBC Sport said:
Who Performs Best?
Wheelchair spaces provided as a percentage of Accessible Stadia Guide recommendations

?1. Swansea 121%
?2. Southampton 104%
?3. Cardiff 102%
?4. Arsenal 96%
?5. West Brom 89%
?6. Hull 89%
?7. Manchester City 88%
?8. Newcastle 73%
?9. Sunderland 70%
?10. Stoke 68%
?11. West Ham 60%
?12. Everton 56%
?13. Norwich 49%
?14. Chelsea 47%
?15. Liverpool 45%
?16. Manchester United 43%
?17. Crystal Palace 40%
?18. Aston Villa 39%
?19. Tottenham 28%
?20. Fulham 24%

As measured against the guidelines for the EPL, though there are also the usual fans' complaints about poor viewing positions even when the stadia do provide disabled access, especially for away fans.

Nonetheless, well done to the top six clubs who exceed, or get close to, the minimum guidelines.
