Wow, a Chelsea game where rather than concede in the last 10 minutes, they score THREE? I'll take it :]

I know right?! By all accounts we were pretty poor again today - no pace or urgency. I didn't think I'd be saying it this time last season - but without Ramires we'd be in trouble - he gives the midfield energy, purpose and direction.
 
Massively proud City fan here.

Battled and showed immense team spirit in the face of adversity. To almost bring it back to 3-3 was incredible.

Showed fight and determination and a willing to try their best. Not to just roll over and die and take defeat. That's the making of future champions.

And I liked the fact that everyone worked their heart out and shoed everyone they're not just there for the money.
 
But well done to United. They won at the end of the day.

City were immense though. It feels like a victory for some reason.
 
BBC sport:

1706: All 11 minutes of that injury time at Hillsborough is up and the final whistle blows. League One Wednesday pull off a minor shock with a 1-0 victory over Championship West Ham. It is reminder to the football world that three-time Cup winners Wednesday remain a giant having a snooze.

lol, I want Man Utd or Liverpool at fortress Hillsborough.
 
Brighton or Wrexham V Newcastle.

I could have said that Brighton have great chance in knocking newcastle out 2 month ago, but they are horrible now. Good one for Newcastle
 
Fuck sake.

Could just feel it happening, especially after the draw for the last round. Same feeling before we were drawn with City. Not good.

Love it. Let the giants knock themselv out while smaller teams (like us Lol) go to the final.

Fulham at home. Bloody hard but it could have been worse.
 
Made up with that draw. We owe Man Utd big time after all the bullshit over the past few weeks. The atmosphere is going to be extremely hostile and I will do whatever I can to get a ticket :)
 
Watford away. Arsenal, United, Liverpool and potentially Chelsea all drew PL sides, so Spurs might be able to have a good run this year.
 
Can a Portuguese league fan who can read Portuguese better than me please tell me whats going on with BWin and the League. If I'm reading A Bola right, then soccer is currently in risk. What the hell is going on?

Nothing is definitive yet. Worst case scenario, we lose BWin's sponsorship of the league and €20 million. Which is a pretty bad scenario, lol. The league is already shit as it is. The only risk is losing money from sponsorship, that's it.

But why though. I mean Im not a fan of gambling businesses being our sponsors but money is money. I just don't get why this is all going down? They sponsor the league cup nowadays too dont they?
