Just noticed that carling cup final is on bbc and sky. How ridiculous...surely putting steel city derby on one of the channels would be better?

 

[Tettenhall Wolf]

Yeah stick it on itv. BBC always had better coverage and for some reason a better picture on our tv when I was a kid.

 

[Big Mack]

Always good to be able to watch without having to hope someone loses to help us out.

were you on redifusion?

 

[Big Mack]

Norwich & Stoke??

Bottom five will be there at the death, I just think the rest will pick enough points up to survive.

An interesting clash of almost polar opposite styles....shame it isn't on the telly.

were you on redifusion?

There's a word from the past! Yes we were!

There's a word from the past! Yes we were!

And one doesn't hear the word 'Grundig' enough these days either.

What happened to Tandy and Decca?

arsenal spurs game rather good so far

 

[Jungleee]

ooh to be a gooner...

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Looked like Spurs would go on to win at a canter 5 mins ago!

 

[SE10 Wolf]

What happened to Tandy and Decca?

I don't know, but sounds like a good name for a rap duo...

 

[WasStefan]

Great game for a neutral. What's the odds the second half is terrible?

 

[Golden_Wolf]

Fantastic game so far.

RVP's goal was class.

 

[Ulver]

5-2 Arsenal now... Mental. What a game.

 

[UEAwolf]

Top game - dirty 'arry has done a great job in courting the press throughout his career in order to be put on the pedestal he's now standing on - but poor tactical decisions today.

 

[Dewsburywolf]

5-2 did Tottenham fall like a pack of cards after being 2-0 up?

Anyone think that Swansea could well turn out to be this seasons Blackpool?

There's a chance. Swansea's away record is joint worst in the league (with Blackburn) and they have some tough teams yo play at home. All it will take is a run of 4 or 5 defeats in a row, with a couple of the teams below them picking up a few points and they're in a relegation fight. I think 20/1 for them to be relegated are big odds.

As for the Carling cup final today, I felt more disappointed than I thought I would for Cardiff at the end. The way the performed was magnificent when you consider who they were playing, and the two centre backs were outstanding.

Miller should have won it for them at the end of 90 minutes but I suppose that's the reason why he's never really made it at the top level. He's a talented forward but mentally, he's never really had it.

We all remember the petulant tantrums when he was at Wolves, thumping the turf and the childish sulking when things werent going exactly his way.

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

2 more wins though and they'll be safe.

Same was being said about Blackpool this time last year. I know what you mean, it's a long shot but once you start to lose 3 or 4 in a row (which they might) the pressure increases and before you know it, you've gone 7-8 games without a win. If that happens, with 3-4 games of the season left, anything can happen.

Look at Blackburns position here and they were only safe at full time of the final match of the season. The last dozen or so games can prove to be devastating for a team that in February look as safe as houses.
