Birmingham win the league cup! Congrats to Big Eck, i quite like the fella. Looked like it was a well dserved victory too. My brother got 6-1 on them winning which are ridiculously long odds considering it was a cup final, and arsenal's CBs can't really defend...looks like their one 'good' CB just got bad.

West Ham get a great result against pool - i would have preferred both teams to lose but hey, this'll do.

Mancini acts like a bit of a cunt by blanking Hughes at the final whistle as City's title hopes all but disappear following another poor result.

Celtic are idiots.

Wigan are rubbish, although they weren;t helped by the ref ignoring Rooney's GBH on McCarthy - a 4-match ban could be on the cards. WOlves less so. Blackburn to get relegated please.

Stevenage are flying again.

Other news that may/may not have been discussed:

Dean Richards RIP - any more word on his illness? The BBC website was a bit vague on this. Terrible news.

Ashley Cole :''''''D. What in God's name is the chelsea training ground like when Ashley Cole can bring a gun in and shoot someone? Thankfully the police have decided to get involved. 10 years in the clink should do.
