Scunthorpe 2-5 Manchester United
WBA 2-1 Manchester City

*Northhampton win on penalties, 4-2


Carling Cup? Eff you.

I went to that game, at half time and before extra time the over-head speaker guy mentioned the scores. We were cheering when they said Newcastle were 2-1 up at half time and  think Man City were drawing, then before half time it was 4-3 to Newcastle and 2-1 to West Brom against Man City.


....And then we joined them! However... (big post coming)


There were times we were playing like we were against West Brom but other times we played decent. N'Gog played his heart out so those "fans" that rip on him should piss off.

Spearing played good, the players kept ignoring him but he was all over the place, Pacheco played okay but definitely needs more experience, he was in charge of corners and all sorts until he came off at the end. Wilson played okay, Kyrgiakos played his heart out and saved us a lot.

Jonjo Shelvey lifted the team up as soon as he came on and was the reason we got to penalties. Lucas played good, he went quiet at times but he did his job, kept trying to get up and didn't stop running.

AND in the penalties when N'Gog missed Lucas went up to comfort him. It's not easy missing a crucial penalty infront of the Kop, even Gerrard feels the pressure so to be as young as he is, missing there will have him depressed or a while. When he walked back up, Lucas came out and made him feel better, how many others would have done that?


And them Northampton fans singing Everton songs and stuff on the way home too...damn them!


(I went to the game as well, at the bottom of the Kop, got a great view). And £2 for a drink of cola in a cup...stupid Hicks & Gillett!
