Carling Cup First Round Live!

Whew! We're barely into the beginning of the Football League season and suddenly we've already been flung into the hurly burly of the Carling Cup. Pompey pulled off a smash and grab at Stevenage yesterday to get us started. Of course my eyes are all on Elland Road where I'm hoping that we can get our season back on track with a nice, easy win against Lincoln City this afternoon. Join me from 2:45 pm EST for all the action.

The Sky TV coverage of this afternoon's festivities has started. I'm on this stream of the "Gillette Soccer Special:"

England U-21 vs Uzbekistan U-21 is on FSC at the same time. U.S. vs Brazil is on at 8 EDT On ESPN 2.

Good afternoon BD. The Under 21 match has started. Are you at work?

2:32 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Despite the drama of the Carling Cup to come this afternoon, all the talk of the papers is about Aston Villa. As Someone Said mentioned in yesterday's thread, Martin O'Neill sensationally resigned as manager yesterday, which leaves a lot of speculation open about the successor. So far the short list consists of Sparky Hughes and Sven. Any thoughts, chaps?

2:33 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

England have applied all the early pressure as expected. The keeper easily gathers the cross.

2:34 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I am surprised. That is a complete shock. I don't think Sven or Hughes would be as successful.I am not sure who would replace O'Neill.

Afternoon, MUR. I am at work but I've carved out a couple of hours with the office door closed to follow the matches.

Btw, are you on Skype? If so, you can track me down at my email address at work: Robert.Dahlgren@fredonia.edu.

2:36 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I'm not sure that I'll be able to follow the Carling and the U-21 match so keep updating the match, eh?

2:37 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Cleverley was really fouled by an Uzbek defender. That was really physical for a friendly. Corner to England.

2:37 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I will definitely update. A short corner nearly results in an OG by an Uzbek defender.

2:38 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Daniel Sturridge nearly chipped the keeper from 40 yards out. The shot was inches over.

2:40 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

To answer your question, I do not have skype, but my wife has talked about us getting skype in the near future.

2:40 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The Sky panel are being a bit ridiculous making predictions about the Championship based on one match.

2:41 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I agree. You cannot predict a season based on match. Otherwise, Norwich would be in League 2 this season.

Skype is great, particularly if you have people that you call outside the country. I Skype my folks every Sunday morning. It's completely free and easy to set up. If you've got a computer with an internal microphone, there's no need for any other equipment. If you've got a camera, you can also use the video streaming function.

Just register at: http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/home

2:43 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

England have had all the possession. There have not been any chances since the Sturridge effort.

2:44 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Indeed - Norwich were absolutely slaughtered on day one of last season.

I had a good trip back. The humidity was a real shock when I arrived back. I was really exhausted, but everyone was really pleased to see me. How was your trip back?

2:48 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jonny Howson rockets one into the top corner after a cross from Lloyd Sam!

1-0!

2:48 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

That is almost identical to the lineup against Derby County on Saturday.

2:48 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Really good. I stopped in with Dave Sunday afternoon. I was really exhausted too. He and his son Tom were going to tour the Cortland campus on Monday so we went in a convoy across the state. I shared all the good times with him. He was green with envy that he hadn't gone. I must have slept ten hours last night. Wow!

2:49 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

What a start!!! That goal must have been scored in the first minute.I am not sure about the U21 lineups. Jack Rodwell is the skipper.

2:50 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

It is, with the exception of Richard Naylor at center back. I don't know why Grayson has decided to change the backfour so radically.

2:50 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

It was in the first minute.

Bristol City are 0-1 up away to Southend.

2:50 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Phil Jones nearly scores for England, but his shot is headed off the line.

2:51 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

By the way, Dave found a great website the other day that has extended highlights of just about all the matches from England. It's called "Soccer Over There."

They also update the activities of US born players. Good stuff.

2:52 PM

YESSSS!!!!!

Becchio adds a second goal, his second of the season.

2-0!

2:53 PM

Good afternoon UWS. I am watching England U 21 vs Uzbekistan U 21 on FSC.

2:55 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It is still 0-0 in the Under 21 match.

2:56 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Hi there UWS - welcome!

I did try to Skype you but you had buggered off, probably to take the dog on a walk, eh?

2:56 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

An Uzbek receives a yellow card for persistent fouling as it is still 0-0 at Ashton Gate.

2:57 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

England win a corner after great passing between Cleverly and Kyle Walker.

2:59 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Not a good start to the season for the Canaries - they lost at the weekend and they're already 0-1 down to Gillingham at Carrow Road.

2:59 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Championship favorites Boro are 0-1 up away to Chesterfield.

3:00 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I'll tell you what - if Fergie has no use for Cleverly, I'd have a bit of that at Elland Road.

3:01 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

England have been parked in the Uzbek penalty area the past five minutes, but can't score.

3:02 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Lots of upsets in the making here.

Macclesfield are 0-1 up at Leicester.

And Dagenham and Redbridge are 0-1 up at the Dons.

3:02 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Another ten minutes have gone by at Leeds and we haven't scored a third goal. I'm disappointed.

3:04 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Frank Fielding is playing in goal for the England under 21s. He is on Blackburn, but has never played for the first team. Cap named him in the squad for England's next friendly due to Robinson's retirement from national football.

3:05 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Nearly 1-0 to England as the Uzbek keeper blocks Rodwell's shot. Kyle Walker has been hacked two conscutive times.

3:07 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Northhampton are now 2-0 up to Brighton. Oxford are leading Bristol Rovers.

3:07 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Danny Rose produces another reflex save from the keeper after a great save from Victor Moses.

3:08 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Were you surprised by Robinson and Brown's decisions to retire after being picked.

3:08 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Sanchez Watt nearly adds a third goal for us against Lincoln.

3:09 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Corner to England as Cleverly's free kick is headed clear.

3:09 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oxford are now 2-0 up! Bristol Rovers lost 3-0 at the weekend and they're getting tonked again tonight.

3:09 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oxford 2 Bristol Rovers 1 now.

3:10 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I was not surprised, but I think the timing showed a lack of professionalism. They could have retired before the squad was picked, so that two other players could have been picked.

3:10 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Is it still 2-0 at Elland Road? Still 0-0 at Ashton Gate.

3:11 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I agree with you. It makes Capello look really amateurish, as if he doesn't keep up with his players.

3:11 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A great free kick by Cleverly , but nobody is there to head it in as three players miss the ball.

3:12 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Still 2-0 at Elland Road, some half hour into proceedings now. I have a feeling that Grayson might rest a few if we're 3 or 4 up at the half. We have Forest away at the weekend.

3:12 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Another chance for England as the keeper saves well from Sturridge.

3:13 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Norwich have drawn level through Grant Holt on half hour.

3:13 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Charlton are 0-2 up now to Shrewsbury.

3:14 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

There is about two minutes before halftime.

3:14 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oxford have scored a third against Bristol Rovers. 3-1 there - what a ding dong!

3:14 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Will you be around for the US v. Brazil match tonight?

3:15 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A great run by Victor Moses, but there is not a player to get on the end of his pass. One minute of stoppage time remaining.

3:16 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

3-0 Leeds!!!!!!!!!!!

Ian Dowie thinks it was our Arsenal loanee Sanchez Watt who scored his first for us at the back stick after a cross from Paul Connelly.

3:16 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I will definitely be available.

3:16 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

4-1 Oxford United!

3:17 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Excellent!

3:17 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Well, apparently Ian Dowie was wrong. New boy Lloyd Sam who gave away the penalty that led us to lose has made up for it with a goal today. He's got our third.

3:18 PM

I am back
Three nil... well done!
As for tonight, I may have to watch it behind the times! Tom is having some people over to watch the match and they may not be over before kick off

Is the England match on FSC from Ashton Gate? I didn't see the B of BCFC on the stand that England were attacking

3:19 PM

Norwich 2-1 up

3:19 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Norwich are back! 2-1 now with Chris Martin adding a second.

3:19 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Halftime and 0-0 at Ashton Gate after a combination of great keeping and thuggish defending by the Uzbeks.

3:19 PM

The England match is on FSC. It is halftime.

3:27 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I just read that young keepers Frank Fielding and Scott Loach will be in the England squad for next week's friendly. Trappatoni is in the hospital after apparent food poisoning. Aston Villa's director accuses Martin O'Neill of being bigger than the club. There was a disagreement over transfer policy.

3:27 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Mystery solved!!!

There is a black tarp over the letter B

3:27 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I think O'Neill thinks too highly of himself. I used to want him at OT but not any more.
As for the Villa job, none of you have mentioned Bob Bradley. He is one of the favorites


GET SKYPE!!! IT DOESN'T HURT!!! IT IS FREE!!!

3:29 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I always thought that Martin O'Neill might be next up at Old Trafford. I wonder what happened there? Transfer policy sounds like an excuse.

3:29 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I don't want Bob Bradley to leave the US job.

3:30 PM

He has said that he would like to go to Europe.

Leeds wallopers, Derby, are losing to Crewe

3:33 PM

Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Crewe have taken the lead against Derby. There are at least six upsets in the making tonight.

3:34 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I'm not sure that Derby "walloped" us, UWS. It was only 1-2.

That should have been 1-0 as Sturridge fails to control a cross in the six yard box.

More desperate defending from the Uzbeks.
