It is literally a cold, rainy Tuesday night in Stoke. Not happening.

I said I'd be ok losing 7-0 if no one got hurt....4-0 with 2 injuries seems to be splitting the difference.

Jim Ross?

what happened to Walcott and Ox? Hope it is not serious

Glorious night so far!

Ao,

The league cup is awesome. Tonight has been awesome. As Hoopie said earlier "suck it"

Both pulled up, Theo was his calf, Ox hamstring I think.

lol

so 4 weeks then...cool

Might be able to add a bit to this.

Brisbane up until about 2013 were the standard bearers of the Australian league. Big crowds, financially sound, by far the best team on the pitch.

They got bought out by the Indonesian Bakrie group which has run the club into the ground, not paid players, staff etc... Club is a rabble off the pitch

Brattan appealed for and got a release from his contract to become a free agent because of unpaid superannuation. He was definitely a a required player in the eyes of Brisbane, and actually has a bit of talent.

He is obviously never going to make it at City long term, but a career at Championship level seems pretty attainable. Manchester City have feeder clubs in the USA and in Australia, so these types of signings are going to be pretty common going forward using the loan system as a source of revenue long term.

Not sure where he will fit in at Bolton but I can't see him being that far out of place relative to a talent like Massimo Luongo in the league. Hope he does well.

Just need Di Canio to come out and push the ref and the while walking off we get to see Winterburn **** himself thinking Di Canio is gonna deck him.

lol at the people who called it the mickey mouse cup for years trying to show how much they care about it

Such a great moment. So much mouth from the jug eared bastard, then cowers like a girl as soon as Di Canio moves an inch towards him.

Here's hoping

the league cup is joke of a tournament. I'm sure Chelsea fans will agree...also ManU/Plop fans' opinion will be depending on tomorrow's results

why isnt the chelsea situation getting less funny?

surely if you tell the same joke many times there should be diminishing returns?

lol at not knowing why it was called the Mickey mouse cup in the first place.

I think it's just like a really good gif or vine. It doesn't matter how much you watch it, it's still awesome.

Dammit

Chelsea right at the death!

on the bright side we don't have to play 30 extra mins

120 min and a chelsea loss on penalties please
