Heaven knows I am no Chelski fan - and I confidently expect them to sink slowly down the table with their new "manager" - but that referee today was outrageous....talk about home team decisions! One duff sending off, one penalty award no visiting side would ever have beeen given,,,,etc etc

[Annasfield]

Any predicitions for tonight's league cup games?

Reading v Liverpool

Man City v Norwich

Blackpool v Southend

Burnley v Portsmouth

Luton v Charlton

Sheff Utd v Morecambe

West Brom v Cardiff

Oooh you missed out the Gooners there Annasfield, no bad thing though but here goes.

Blackpool 2 Southend 1

Burnley 1 Portsmouth 3

Luton 0 Charlton 1

Man City 3 Norwich 0

Reading 1 Liverpool 3

Sheff Utd 5 Morecombe 0

Edited because as the good Ladygooner pointed out. No draws in the FA Cup. Could go to penalties mind.

Apart from me Annasfield. Perhaps you'd like to redress the balance somewhat by predicting your scores and then persuade Keef to do the same.

[Annasfield]

I can't predict our score as I'd hate to jinx us - pathetic I know!

Arsenal 3 Newcastle 1

Reading Liverpool No comment! *fingers in ears, singing la, la, la, la, la* suspect it will go to pens though. Come on Pepe!!

Man City 2 Norwich 1

Blackpool 2 Southend 1

Burnley 0 Portsmouth 2

Luton 2 Charlton 1

Sheff Utd 1 Morecambe 0

West Brom 0 Cardiff 1

Yeah Keef - where are you? What do you reckon for tonight?

Also - did all the people that discuss the footy on here sit together in a corner at the forum ;-)

[Jah Lush]

What! eating our curds and wey! No, far too much mingling going on. It was a great fun, pity you missed out.

[Annasfield]

I know - I was nearly brave enough to go, but was away last weekend. Might make it up to the Canning next time. Watching the games tonight? I shall be installed in my front room watching us at Reading.

[SeanMacGabhann]

That's a couple of forecasts with Arsenal losing - y'all just haven't got the gist of what Wenger has done with this squad yet have you?

Arsenal 4 Newcastle 2

Reading 1 Liverpool 2

Man City 2 Norwich 1

Blackpool 1 Southend 1 pens to Sarfend

Burnley 0 Portsmouth 3

Luton 1 Charlton 3

Sheff Utd 2 Morecambe 1

West Brom 1 Cardiff 2

[Keef]

Well if you look at my Liverpool prediction, I think you'll find I haven't got the gist of football in general yet.

[SeanMacGabhann]

true Keef, I can't see Reading scoring 2 goals

Of course my words re: Arsenal are odds-on to come back and bite me on the ass

[Keef]

You obviously didn't notice the minus symbol before the 2! However, they have scored 2... so far...

[Annasfield]

Great game - Torres is immense B) love the way he just keeps on running at the defence.

Rafa has to play him when he's fit - mind you he'll probably be quite bruised in the morning. Another ref with the opposition's shirt on underneath....

[Ladygooner]

So I got one perfect score, 3 correct results and 2 wrong. Sorry busy as work today so no time to check others.

Nice to see our young ones do so well last night - have to say Newcastle were pretty uninspiring - and what was that strip they were wearing? Powder blue?!!

And for tonight.........

You going to WHL Jah?
