i know it's not the most popular cup in england but it is an important one for much of the EPLs premier clubs. They use this cup as a platform for their younger players or first team fringe players, or players coming back from injury.
Manchester United are the current holders of the cup, winning it last year with a youth team full of players trying to break through to regular first team players.
They won again on tuesday, with the kids knocking out the full strength side of Tottenham, thanks to 2 glorious strikes from Irishman Darron Dibson.
Arsenal's youngsters were beaten 3-0 ,being knocked out by A full Strength Manchester City side.
Chelsea's sub strength squad was also beaten 4-3 on penalties by Relegation fighting Blackburn after the game ended 3-3.
Portsmouth lost at home to Aston Villa 4-2.
SEMI FINAL GAMES :

ReplyDeleteWonderful game for Blackburn, that will be extra special for Allerdyce, who is recovering from heart surgery i believe?? Fantastic win for them, could we see an inspired push up the league now? Shame for the Young Gunngers, who were brushed aside easily, but sets up the greatest of derby matches! Will ferguson stick to fielding his mix of youth and experience or will he go all out to beat Man City for a second time this season?
ReplyDeletetru i shudnt have said 'kids'... more like fringe players or p-layers coming back from injury (park, berba, vidic)
