Anybody know when the draw is? Guessing after either tonight or next week after the Leeds v Chelski game?
-
Chuffed about the dates! I've got an A-Level Psychology exam on Wednesday 16th and wouldn't have been able to go if the leg at VP was on the Tuesday night.
I know it's been asked a million times but when's the draw?
-
The draw is after next weeks game.
-

Next weds after Chelsea game.
What date is the final?
-
The draw is after next weeks game.
Well that's annoying. Couldn't we just have it tonight with 'Leeds or Chelsea'? >:(
-
All because chelski are in some pointless match!!!
The final is usually last Sunday in feb/first in march.

Hate to tempt fate, but this is looking extremely winnable. We could turn Chelsea over, no problem. I'm more worried about Swansea than them.
-
What date is the final?
Sunday 24 February
-
Wouldn't be surprised to see Leeds turn Chelsea over at eland road - intimidating ground and Chelsea will have not long flown from Tokyo.
-
Swansea would be a nightmare, Chelsea could hurt us and Leeds is a very intimidating place. I'd love Leeds away though! I'd be happy with Middlesborough away for some strange reason

It's still two legs isn't it?

Yes home and away.

Yes home and away.
In the draw if it's 'Swansea City vs Aston Villa' then that means that the second leg will be played at Villa park, right?
-
Bradford over 2 legs is winnable!
-
Swansea would be a nightmare
We comfortably beat them earlier in the season.
-
Bradford will struggle against any of the teams left over two legs. It's one thing raising your game in a one off knock out, it'll be extremely difficult to do it twice. I'd love to draw them. As for tonight, come on Boro!
-
All because chelski are in some pointless match!!!
That pointless match in Japan is only the semi final of the World Club Championship, FIFA really will do anything for a few quid.

Correct.
-
I already have a pre-booked train from manchester to London for the final weekend for 25quid.
I'd pre-booked it because we have Arsenal scheduled for that weekend.
-
Leeds in the final anybody?
-
We'll beat anyone in the Final. Including Chelsea.
-
Leeds in the final anybody?
Yes please. 3-0 Villa.
-
If Chelsea get through, I'd prefer to meet them in the semi than the final.
Another comprehensive defeat at Wembley would be crushing. We'd have more of a chance in the semi.
-
I've got a feeling it will be Chelsea in the semi. We'll go into the away match with them on the 23rd knowing we've got them in the Coc semi as well.

Coc semi .... .. fnaar fnaar

Paul Lambert is relishing leading Villa into the semi-finals of the Capital One Cup, saying the titanic two-leg tussle will be "brilliant for the club and the fans."
Lambert managed to orchestrate the victory over his former club Norwich and the boss was full of praise for his team after the remarkable 4-1 win at Carrow Road.
He said they played with "enthusiasm, passion, drive and quality" as they booked their place for the New Year clashes in the last four of the competition.
He said: "No matter who you get you're going to get a full house, home and away.
"It will be brilliant, brilliant for the club. It's had a lot of heartache for the past two years or so - or whatever the case may be - but this gives the fans something to look forward to.
"For a few weeks now we've been playing really, really well. We've come through a really hard run - the likes of Man Utd, Man City and Arsenal - that's really, really demanding.
"I think we are an easy target for people saying we're young and all that but we're playing very well, extremely well and the lads have been brilliant.
"They need a bit of help but if you can give them time and they can keep that collective spirit, with the crowd we've got, they'll drive us on. It was a huge win for us.
"I couldn't fault the lads with the way they played - with enthusiasm, passion, drive and the quality of football - that was excellent.
"All the lads deserve credit. Charles came on. We threw him in after a six week lay-off.
"The lads were absolutely brilliant, every one of them.
"There was Ashley who's been our best player over the last few weeks. We've got Bennett coming back, Vlaar coming back. We are slowly but surely getting there.
"We're doing really fine. It's another building block. I thought we were worthy winners."
Despite not wanting to single out individuals particularly, he was still keen to hail Brett Holman's cracking goal and Shay Given's amazing double save.
He added: "Brett's goal was fantastic. What a strike that was!
"With Shay, I have been in the game a long time and they are two of the best saves I have ever seen - absolute world-class. His saves were world-class."
-
Swansea would be a nightmare, Chelsea could hurt us and Leeds is a very intimidating place. I'd love Leeds away though! I'd be happy with Middlesborough away for some strange reason
It's still two legs isn't it?
Yes, I was just concentrating on the away leg
Hope the 2nd leg is at home. Brilliant if we was to go through to the final against anybody,l but beating a team like Chelsea would be special
-
Generally it's better to pay the Second Leg at home. If it's Boro though I'd rather play away second as we tend to beat them there and do crap against them at Villa Park.
-
I will miss the 2nd leg, damn!
-
Without tempting fate can anyone confirm the final date please ?
-
I would love Middlebrough, away leg first.
We would get a good 6,000 plus allocation.

Without tempting fate can anyone confirm the final date please ?
Sunday 24 February.

That's a nice touch at the end there for Shay, thought he looked really shaky and was going to cost us but those saves were class, and the one from Holt was at 1-1.

I think Lambert needs to tone down the happy pills. There's only so much enthusiasm a man can show before he just looks a bit crazy.
As for next steps, I'd rather avoid Chelsea in the semi - give someone else the chance to knock them out first. If we get to the final, I really think we can do it - for the first time in years I think we can put a team out in a final which will play with no fear.

Now that's sarcasm.

Sorry about all these pictures. Being a bit self indulgent.

It's not, I genuinely didn't know and am praying for the second leg to be at VP and wanted to be sure.

Aren't the BBC showing any of the semi finals this year?
What about the final?

Our best chance of winning the cup is to draw Chelsea in the semi- final.

Why? I'd say we stand more chance of beating Chelsea in a one-off game than in aggregate over two legs.

That may be so however they will take the final very seriously almost ruthlessly with their best xi where as they are likely to be a bit complacent in the semi and tinker with team selection.

League Cup show now on BBC1.

BBC live football coverage is virtually non existent these days.
I am sure I heard on the radio (not BBC radio) that the next scheduled live game on the Beeb was an England qualifier sometime in Feb/March 2013. I heard this around September time !
Having said that, I think they are now showing these pathetic World club games on the Red button. We know they can't compete with the finances of Sky or for that matter ITV for the Premier/Euro/glamour stuff. However, it would surely not cost that much to get involved showing live League Cup, FA Cup with lower league clubs in early rounds, or league football outside the Premier.
-
I assume the Beeb put all their eggs into one Olympic basket this year and have nothing left for live football.
-
I prefer the Football League Show after MOTD than MOTD itself.
-
lets win the cup for Stan,
-
They showed last season's carling cup final as I watched it at home and I don't have Sky.
I also remember they used to show one leg of each semi final.
Deal must have run out I guess and they just have highlights now.
-
Us to win the final and Stan to go up ad get it. Now you're talking.

When the BBC budget cuts are described as "delicious" by the PM, who up until a while ago was very close to their main rival, it's no surprise that the Beeb have very little top class sport.
-
Bbc have shown one semi plus the final live in recent years - would be surprised if that is not still the case this season.
