ILF regulars won't be posting in the Capital One Cup thread 2012/13

2017 RED CARD - Sunderland - Lee Cattermole

We've been here before. Sunderland midfielder Lee Cattermole is shown a straight red card at MK Dons. Cattermole, charging forward with the ball, takes a poor touch and flatters into Adam Chiksen trying to retrieve possession.

red card from 5 years in the future. lee still up to his old antics.

i was unaware of the proceedings of this year's capital one cup prior to reading a puff piece about former arsenal mascot current arsenal capital one cup star nico yennaris

I can't believe Villa won! This one victory will be our consolation prize for going down.

Bet Milner and Barry feel like right chumps for leaving now, look at what they're missing. Villa not going down this season, I mean we've got Charles n'zogbia ffs. QUALITY IN THE SIDE. 40 points and survival, or I'll eat my pet labradoodle.

A surprisingly good strike by the Fat Brazilian

both fat men looking decent tonight

liverpool in control, assaidi exciting, coates looking solid, sahin and henderson keeping it ticking over nicely in the middle. pacheco not involved enough, needs to come deep and show for the ball, but working hard, tracking back. both keepers gifted the other side a goal.

What the heck is going in the Arsenal vs Coventry game?

nnnghhhh

16 year old jerome sinclair coming on!

I approve

Strong QPR side getting beaten by Reading atm.

amazing goal sahin!

great run by suso, feeds assaidi, perfect cross, sahin taps it in. amazing passing before it reached suso too. excellent stuff.

Chelsea away next round which means two trips to Stamford Bridge in four days followed by Arsenal at home

not seen a liverpool player dribble the ball like suso did for that second goal in about 15 years.

more an indictment of recent style of play but still.

bit harsh on jones earlier, didn't realise olsson had stuck his arm in his face.

Fucking hell that tackle on Henderson!!

aye meant to mention that earlier, not even a yellow.

i want rodgers to succeed so badly.

Yes. There's so much goodwill towards him, I'd like to know how to engender it. He's like the antiRoy.

it's the style of play for me, plus the faith in the youngsters. i still amn't totally convinced, it's so early, the next few games will be a real indicator.

style of play, approach to the game. The results early on are as bad as Roy but I really didn't want to go where Roy was seemingly keen on going, had no faith that it would be either attractive or successful. So far the only thing I'm unhappy about is a deterioration in our defensive play.

Just keep calm, guys, it's all going to be OK

i know

Rodgers looked like he really needed that win last night

There'll be a lot of bullshit written about Rogers for a while I reckon. British football journalists are just inherently suspicious of and condescending to managers who want to play in any other way than punting it forward at the first opportunity. Spurs have won three and are unbeaten in six and we're still getting "phew, AVB will be relieved after that!" opening paragraphs.

MATT DC SAYS AVB HAS BOUGHT HIMSELF TIME TO GET IT RIGHT

he can say whatever he wants just as long as he keep calling him rogers imo

RTC BACKS DC IN AVB ROW

did we have a League Cup thread for me to go "lol Wenger out" in?

game on!

lol, a hoy hoy will be loving this

4-0's a dangerous score though, etc

nah only in the reverse iirc

unsporting of Villa to pick tonight to play football imo

robbie fowler looks about as healthy as i've ever seen him

comedy comeback afoot at Reading

reading, that's where arsenal are vikings

Quite fancy Reading for a last-minute winner here

"I'm an Arsenal fan who actually left before getting to the game," says Joe Chapman. "I was stuck on the M4 so long the game had begun by the time I reached Junction 11. Seeing the massive queue from there to the ground I decided to cut my losses - not much point spending £8 at the car park to go and see a half of a match that only cost £15 - so turned round and came home."

Preserving this guy just in case.

GIROUD sung to the tune of Hey Jude right now lol

CHAMAKH to the tune of Get Back?

GERVINHO to the tune of Phil Collins' "I Missed Again"

watching a bit of leeds saints. basically a training drill for a totally hamfisted leeds to try and put ball in t'net vs a nonexistent. good set of solid young lads playing for leeds, sam byram in particular

ooh shit swindon 2-2 gonna watch me some paolo

omg Arsenal fans now giving it some Miquel's Silver Hammer

bfitw

2-2 YES COME ON YOU BLACKSHIRTS

BBC has Villa as 70 percent possession ouch

oh well i would watch paolo if i could, radio it is

lol i had totally forgotten chelsea united was happening again tomoz. shame it'll probably be reserves

Rafa Benitez finishes a lively press conference by saying that ball-boy incident is reflective of a fame-driven "Big Brother society"

The ballboy currently has 96k followers on twitter - closing in on CBB's Claire from Steps.

so that wanky sock puppet video is the first opinion i've heard that doesn' support Eden Hazard, they use the phrase "role model" so i assume they're not fitba fans tho

Could ILF release a charity single to raise funds to pay for the ballboy's medical costs?

worse than the ballboy

fucking Muang U

I love supporting Chelsea

A player kicking a teenage ballboy has made Chelsea a more popular club for many people. Cashley must be fuming that his shooting of work experience kids wasn't met with the same approval.

Kickin a ball a wee cunt was viciously smothering u mean

ah come on he kicked the kid and maybe got a bit of the ball

he stamped on the boy's head as he stepped over him too

back and to the left

cobblers he shd've Riverdanced on the "little" twats face

Pair of millionaire brats scrapping for the entertainment of the baying hordes, this is everythin nv has ever dreamed of

i only wish Keano were still playing, they'd still be looking for the kid in the Bristol Channel

Ben Davies

Nickname Ben.

He goes under the radar a bit in terms of banter, so we haven't really nicknamed him.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/feb/22/swansea-city-garry-monk-team-mates/print

Ashley Williams

Nickname Car-boot head – because he's got a massive forehead.

A big character.

Ki Sung-Yeung

Nickname Ki.

how do they lack imagination to such an extent? it drives me bananas

Nathan Dyer

Nickname Chris Rock – because he looks like the comedian – or Midget.

Zavon Hines midfielder

Zavon was born in Jamaica and he's always listening to music on his headphones. He came through the West Ham system and he's got lots of ability. He's great on the ball and when taking defenders on in one-on-one situations. We call him Chris Rock; there's a strong resemblance to the American comedian there

Swans might get away with it, but I think the Bradford boys might be pushing their luck a bit.

http://www.swanseacity.net/cms_images/player/302149_231x264.jpg

yeah Dyer's got a look of Chris Rock round the eyes and mouth.

Hines' resemblance is hmmmmmm

more like 30 rock guy imo from pic posted

wd like to see Swansea's excellence rewarded but ctfo, who doesn't love an under-underdog?

Ah, a pity, that was a great save. And an even better celebration

Dyer bringing the pain

decided to properly honour this event by listening to it on 5live

if alan green is feigning bemusement at why inflatable sheep are falling down the stands then he's doing a very good job

robbie savage sagely advises bradford "you might as well get beat 4 or 5 now, have a go"

savage also daringly calling him mishu

means little bear in polish so that's nice

there's a distinct lack of polish to his commentary

That man again. I'm happy to see Swansea win, but hope Bradford don't end up getting totally humped.

krakow finish

he's a really clever in those situations

Michuuuuuuu

paul jewell calling him mckew now

McHugh's playing for Bradford iirc

Are you it's not Pugh, Pugh & Barney McGrew?

I'm calling it now: Swansea are going to win this

have some dignity chaps

lol at Dyer

splendid penalty that

Not very dignified, but De Guzman is a prize prick. Give it the boy on the hattrick man, no one thinks you're owt special for scoring a fuckin pen

i imagine michu was saying something like 'mate don't worry, we're all going to end up with hat tricks'

I'm happy to see Swansea win, but hope Bradford don't end up getting totally humped.

Forlorn looking hope now

id lol if dyer got subbed

GET INVOLVED
Former England international Gary Lineker: "This is a blindingly obvious statement, but what a sensational signing Michu has been."

Fair point Gary - he's been top-class today.

irl lol

;) <- Laudrup

Hope De Guzman gets a hat-trick and dedicates it to Dyer
