The League Cup as a trophy means fook all to me and should for any serious Reds fan.

should it indeed?

being a humble spurs fan, i was delighted we won a trophy of any description last year, but i suppose lack of success makes you appreciate any small bit that much more.
gives you a little bit of humility as well, which is clearly lacking somewhere around here.

of course, if you were serious about the league, you should have won at white hart lane a fortnight ago...

oh, and good to go into the next round of the cup.

Don't Get me wrong I like Liverpool to win trophies but with the History of the club and growing up with the history and the success its time we turned things around and got all of that back. If it means sacrificing smaller competitions then so be it.

Oh and we can't win them all. Same could be said for Man U or Chelski both losing to Liverpool if they were serious of winning the league they should have beaten Liverpool.

podge79 · 12-11-2008 11:21pm

so neither chelsea or utd want to win the premier league this season?

I wonder how many nottinghham forest fans are thinking that right now?
it always amazes me thqat certain teams fans feel they have the right to expect so much more than they get.

still, im hoping to play watford in the next round and then maybe blackburn and then stoke in the final.
i feel you can never win enough mickey mouse trophies

Wade Elliott misses, the dipstick

Malouda scores so I think the Chaves will scape through.

Yes Liverpool fans do expect and why not right. You can't compare Liverpool to Forest now in fairness. As **** as Liverpool got over the last 19 years, we didn't implode and get relegated we picked ourselves up and have started the road to recovery. Every year we edge closer to our best shot at the league.

Didn't Chelsea win the league when they were knocked out on penos to Charlton at the Bridge a few years ago?

WhiteWashMan · 12-11-2008 11:33pm

go on the burnley

podge79 · 12-11-2008 11:34pm

right thats bridge and mikel added to the list of "never let them ever near taking a penalty again"... hmmm alot of names on this list.....

Hope Chelsea win tonight tbh and keep on going winning in the CC. Any extra front they have to fight on gives pool (and the rest of the league) a better chance in the other 3 competitions.

bugger, back to a level playing field for the important competitions.

All the same, Congrats to Burnley, great result.

~Rebel~ · 12-11-2008 11:41pm

Im watching 'You're on sky sports'. I dont know why - its awful! Who are these cretins? The guest pundit is awful, as is the host. Sensationalist nonsense, and they only seem to read out the crazy diatribes of the disgruntled and insane.

They're going on and on and on about Liverpool, and the disgrace they were tonight, the lack of passion from non brits etc, while giving a brief mention of congratulations to Burnley for beating the best team in the country. If pool have to get this abuse from losing to THE form team in the league, should Chelsea not get some stick too? I dont think either Rafa or Scolari will lose any sleep over being out of this competition, why do so many other people seem to feel so aggrieved?

true i guess. Its scary to hear the opinions of the unwashed masses sometimes though!

Dave! · 13-11-2008 12:04am

Fair play to Burnley and Spurs. Spuds looked very good tonight. Are they undefeated since Arry joined? Shows the impact a manager can have I guess.

Hopefully (for them) Harry has the sense to chuck Gomes out on his ear in January! He is a terrible.... terrible.... goalkeeper.

SantryRed · 13-11-2008 12:08am

5 wins and a draw.

what is wrong with you?

This is why people like me end up going on tyranical rants.

I say something that as far as I'm concerned was reasonably gracious in defeat, mention the penalty that never was - and you jump on this.

your trolling is tiresome.

2. something that is amusing or ridiculous, esp. because of being ludicrously inadequate or a sham; a thing, situation, or person laughed at rather than taken seriously; farce: Their pretense of generosity is a joke. An officer with no ability to command is a joke.

3. a matter that need not be taken very seriously; trifling matter: The loss was no joke.

4. something that does not present the expected challenge; something very easy: The test was a joke for the whole class.

5. practical joke. –verb (used without object)

6. to speak or act in a playful or merry way: He was always joking with us.

7. to say something in fun or teasing rather than in earnest; be facetious: He didn't really mean it, he was only joking. –verb (used with object)

8. to subject to jokes; make fun of; tease.

9. to obtain by joking: The comedian joked coins from the audience.

i feel you may have missed my point by quite the margin. never mind.

anyway, I didnt take much note of tuesday nights games, but when I saw the list of teams left i was decidedly shocked to see so little of bigger teams left in the last 8.

Chelsea Out As United Carling Favourites
CHELSEA OUT - UNITED NEW CARLING FAVOURITES

Manchester United are 15/8 favourites to win the Carling Cup with William Hill, who also offer 2/1 Arsenal; 7/2 Spurs; 13/2 Blackburn; 14 Stoke; 25/1 Burnley; Derb y; 50/1 Watford.
CHELSEA, who were Carling favourites and had been backed to 80/1 to win all four major trophies this season are now 11/8 with Hills to win nothing at all.

i have to admit, i would have expect some team from the traditional middle section of the EPL to be still there, a pompy, or a villa or an everton.

funny old game.

Apparently Drogs did a Jamie and threw back a coin.

its also lazy. at least make an effort to explain instead of trying to dismiss any other opinion with a 'troll' quip.

didnt carragher throw a water bottle or something back into the crowd?
i heard drogba threw a coin back.

that will probably be a 10 year ban considering the FA have decided that its yellow card november (sponsered by hallmark apparently)

mike65 · 13-11-2008 12:37am

At Arsenal about 5/6 years back Carra was the target for a Gooner with a few pence to spare, he made the error of returning it.

What?

He's clearly trolling he was obviously dying to have another go at Gerrard, as always with him.

It's not an opinion I don't like - it's an attitude I don't like. What do I need to explain?

He does it all day long every day, every liverpool related thread.

People can't actually get along in here as long as people like him and to a lesser extent you act like this.

Thanx 4 The Fish · 13-11-2008 12:46am

was a three match ban for JC, should be at least the same for Drogs assuming there is some sanction from Chelsea.

WWM, nice to see you, you have not been around these parts for manys the long week, wonder what it was brought you back

Thanx 4 The Fish · 13-11-2008 12:54am

He has just issued an apology now, sounds a bit lame to me.

Jesus dude, I jest I jest....

It's not trolling at all you seem to go out of your way to try and take offence in everything that is said against any liverpool player...

I threw in a jab about campbell a united player scoring a few goals

did you see ste kellys retort? that's how we do it here...

Your constant trolling accusations are getting tiresome...
