The Carling Cup 3rd Round Hangover

I woke up still battered and bruised from that Elland Road drubbing yesterday. However, there are a number of tasty Carling Cup fixtures on tap today, so time marches on, eh? I'll be around in the office this afternoon monitoring the action. Drop on by for a cuppa, won't you?

I'm back at 2:30 to monitor the matches. The one that most intrigues me is Citeh's match against current holders Birmingham City.

Afternoon, Someone. How are things in Columbus?

I'm sure you'll have a keen eye on that Everton match against the Baggies.

Things are well here. Thinking about the breakup of REM. Nothing too morose.

Hoping Everton can keep this run going.

Hey, Celtic are up on Ross County :)

I haven't been able to find a link for Citeh v. Brum match, so I'm just following along on the Gillette Soccer Special.

Wow - I hadn't heard about that break-up. I suppose the band had run it's course. I reckon that its amazing how bands will stay together for the long haul. The 20th anniversary celebrations of grunge bands such as Pearl Jam are making me feel old these days.

Craig Bellamy has fired Liverpool into the lead at Brighton. I'm delighted that the Seagulls have a tough one tonight, only two days before a titanic clash with LUFC on Friday night.

An own goal puts Celtic up 2-0.

Went to the local Celtic supporters group on Sunday morning. There were over a dozen people watching the Hoops get blown off the pitch in the second half.
