Carling Cup 2005 : Semi Final Draw

• Poolman

  Arsenal vs Wigan
  
  Blackburn vs Man Utd
  
  Very unfamiliar sight !
  
  Why Man Utd and Arsenal suddenly so interested in this "Worthless Cup" claimed by their fans when Liverpool won it at 2002 ?
  
  Only explanation : A standby UEFA Cup slot just in case both miss out on those UEFA Cup allocations the following season .

  Don't be surprise Arsene Wenger play thier first 11 in order to go to the Final .
  
  So does Man Utd .
  
  They badly need this silverware , knowing they got no chance in the FA Cup , cos Liverpool and Chelsea are in the run for the Cup .

  you are wrong. i agree that liverpool is good, at least very good in defense now. liverpool won the CL last year. it doesnt mean they will win it this year. it is still early in the season. carling cup may be worth only a UEFA cup slot but at least arsenal and man u is having a go at it. they are only 2 matches away from winning it.
  
  liverpool may be lying 3rd in the premiership but a lot of things can change come end of the season.

  I for one hope for changes at the table-top! Basket...another 1-goal win last nite!
  
  I'm gonna propose 2 pts instead of 3 for such wins .... any support!?

  Being Chelsea now is no joke , can u imagine the pressure they been through , now ?
  
  The pressure of dropping points ? With MU , Liverpool and Tottenham hot on their heels ?
  
  Now it's a test for them , a test of their character , see whether do they have the Final calibre of a Real Champion .
  
  I see them going to break eventually .
  
  Fulham nearly stole a win at The Bridge if not for the blindness of the ref .

  Hmmmm....wonder when their "luck" gonna run out!
  
  I tink teams are showing them too much respect....hence allowing them to sneak in those lucky odd goals.
  
  Besides, I'm always amazed how the refs can miss all the penalty/red card incidents agst them.....recent ones being J.Cole during Fulham's match - penalty was awarded but wasn't he the last defender? To rub salt to the wounds, he went on to score the eventual winner!
