I do not have diabetes
Once again a foreign manager underestimates the football league clubs. Utd were very poor. Van gala just sat there studying and writing. A British manager would have screaming at such sloppy passing and defending. I would not be happy if I had paid good money to travel down to MK to witness that!
However well done The Franchise and the rest of the giant killers!

How did the Hammers do? Back to back wins?

I suppose I deserve that after my 'dog walking' post. Sometimes I absolutely despair, we should have won comfortably, if we had I'm sure the Blades fans would have blamed Carlos Tevez......

Still, at least I don't support Utd.......

Who did Tranmere play???

Well wasnt that quite something Man Utd got wopped 4-0 by MK Dons.I watched most of the 2nd half and Man utd just werent in it at all.To say they were once a top class premiership team is an understatement they performed like a 2nd division club.Having said that they werent they only premiership team to crash out so too did Leicester at the hands of the Shrews and West ham at the hands of Sheff utd And Burnley crashed out to Fulham.1st match Fulham have won eh lol.And we bowed out to Notts forest but hey they are a classy side this time sitting pretty at the top of the table having won 3 and drawn 1 i wasnt expecting us to beat them.Shame our top class goal machine had to go score in the wrong end though lol.Oh well its only a tin pot cup whats more important is we concentrate on the league and propel ourselves up that table and away from danger zone.

Although they should still be beating MK Dons, Man Utd still fielded a slightly weakened side.

After two dodgy results would it not make sense to put out your strongest side just from a confidence side of things?

Enjoyed our trip to spurs in the league cup, got hammered but we were popular in the pub that founded spurs.
Not been to Daggers!
Does anyone like millwall? Not been to Stevenage either. Are they in the smoke?


Millwall lets see they are a bunch of bloody animals or rather their supporters are.Its debatable as to who are the worst them or Leeds

My team, Dundee, played a team one league below them in our League Cup last night and except giving the reserve keeper his debut they played the strongest side they could after injuries etc. They got a convincing 4-0 win which will be a huge confidence boost ahead of playing Celtic at the weekend, who were dumped out of the Champions League last night. Hopefully Dundee won't get the backlash of that.

Van Gall was saying in the post-match interview that they had 9 injuries to contend with before the match. Rarely will a top flight club put out a good team in a cup competition such as this, even Man U's second string should be able to put up a performance worthy of wearing the badge, it was a lackluster performance by any standard.
