Good afternoon, BD. I am recording the match on BEIN. The students get out at 2 PM CST, so I might be able to join you.It all depends whether or not I can find a dodgy link.Otherwise, I will watch it this evening.
COME ON YOU WHITES!
Captain Birdseye will meet some old freinds as he is up against his former club while archenemies, Raffa and Warnock, reunite. Raffa has agreed to shake hands before the match. A potentially evil quarterfinal.
Afternoon, MUR! It would be great to have you around this afternoon. I'm back in Blue Devil HQ now, looking around for a link for the match.
Magic! I've got BEin Sports up through this link:

Uh oh - looks like I'm gonna get a Spanish lesson this afternoon. Why would the coverage of an English League Cup match be in Spanish language?
The team news out of Elland Road tonight:
United: Ashdown, Byram, Pearce, Lees, Peltier, Thomas, Green, Brown, Tonge, Diouf, Becchio. subs: Kenny, Varney, White, Norris, Gray, Somma, McCormack,
Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Luiz, Lampard, Torres, Mata, Oscar, Moses, Marvin, Azpilicueta, Bertrand. Subs: Cole, Hazard, Ferreira, Turnbull, Piazon, Saville, Ake.
Uh oh - the Atdhe link has packed in. I'm desperate for a decent link now.
Teams coming out onto the pitch now. MOT!
Fortunately kickoff is a bit delayed today, which has given me a bit more time to sort out this link. I think I've got it going now, despite all of the infernal pop-ups.
Some early chances for us. I'm hoping that we can punk Chelski early on and take advantage of our relative freshness.
Great save, Ashdown. Chelski starting to turn the screw a bit.
We've got to stop giving the ball away. Michael Tonge has been particularly profligate so far. Got lucky that Torres drifted offside.
Oh - Becchio with a lovely knock-down that could have easily been tapped in if someone had been running in. That's what we lose with Ross McCormack injured.
Diouf runs away with it, trying to catch Chelski on the break. He doesn't have the pace for that role any more.
Lampard picks up a yellow for a nasty one on Sam Byram.
Hey Guys
I am home
This is a Sky Sports link

Who's the ref?
WHo's been on top?
Nice free kick in and Becchio meets it firmly but Cech gathers.
Elland Road sounds great from my link
My picture is clear as a bell with Alan Parry
Cheers, mate - I'll try that link - these pop ups are driving me mad.
My link has been covered by commercials a few times but running well
in to the 20th minute
The man in the middle is Andre Marriner tonight.
Warny wearing a Chelsea color coat.. what a muppet
I just read your quote on the Daily Mail website
BRILLIANT!!!!
I reckon it's been fairly even so far with decent chances for both sides.
Hello llads. The students have left for the day and I am watching the link Bob sent. My view is obscured because I have a nasty box in the way stating that I am missing a plugin
Glad you enjoyed it!
Moses has a pop... well saved!
I'm only getting audio on that link - it says I need a download of something called ilivid. Not interested.
You have one negative rating!
I accidentally gave you another one... sorry!
Jerome Thomas has been lively but his delivery needs to improve.
You tried link 1... mine popped right up and has been working perfectly!
Why would anyone give me a negative rating?
Which link?
That is, which link of the 12 listed are you on?
I went to google chrome and have a much better picture, but no volume. I guess it will have to do
Mata with a brilliant moved.. blocked by a noggin
Mata with a brilliant moved.. blocked by a noggin
Alan says it's a good spell for Chelski. Come on, you Whites!
I just saw that Mata had shot deflected fror a corner and saw a horrible attempt from Victor Moses to win a penalty
Yeah - that's the one I'm on. No vid - only audio. You must have that plug-in.
Fortunately Marriner wasn't impressed by Moses' efforts.
Horrible route one free kick from ChelskiThere is Gary McAllister in attendance.
Must be about 30 minutes in now.
I have vid, but no audio. Between us we have a perfect package.The ITV link is blocked by the district net cops
Twenty nine to be precise.
Welcome back, MUR!
Glad you have sound apparently
The draw for the semis is after the match
Great run down the left as a corner was won odff of Oscar. Leeds retain possession. Now Chelsea win it in midfield.
I dont' have any special plug ins
TRY IN
Nice songs sung by the ER faithful
Ta, BD. I will miss the draw because we have a department meeting with the principal as soon as the match ends.
Alan Smith reckons that Chelski's midfield are too good for us and that we're "chasing shadows." He needs to stuff that up his arse.
Hey MUR... missed you joining
What do you mean, "Try IN?"
Yeah - the Kop sound fabulous tonight!
agaIN
sorry
Comfortable save from Cech off a long throw.
Why is there tarp on the stands behind the one goal? Stupid! Why not get the crowd close to the field... put tarp on a top tier!
What was the crowd expected to be?
On this evidence, you'd think that we could compete in the Premiership. But I don't know if they could gets themselves up for a cup tie every weekend.
That goes without saying... Smith is an ex Gunner!!!
A long rane effort from Ivanovic was well over. He was unchallenged,
Agreed.I am not sure if this squad could compete every weekend. They would for some matches.
FANTASTIC BREAK
ONE NIL LEEDS!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!
BeccchioOOOOOOO!
BECCHIO!!!!
"Clinical in the extreme!!"
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
1-0 LEEDS AS BECKS SCORES AS LEEDS BROKE . SPITTY WAS PUT DOWN THE LEFT AND HE PUT IN A GREAT PASS FOR BECKS TO FINISH FROM CLOSE RANGE.
I am in dreamland!
Not sure if Spitty had the assist.
That's enough for me - blow up, ref!
Horribly high and wide from Oscar and Raffa looking furious.
Hoping for an all West Yorkshire semi
MOT!
That would be perfect!
Rafa's getting the "sacked in the morning" treatment from the Kop now. Lovely.

Young Sam Byram was dispossessed by Victor Moses near the corner flag from a long ball when he shopuld have kadoomphed it.
Great save by Ashdown
Ashdown saves well from Lamps.
Surely the ref has played enough of the 90 already... just end it now
Miles over by Lampard. I think that great save was from a Lampard effort.
You can keep this comment on your BookFace page!!
GOAL - Leeds 1-0 Chelsea - Luciano Becchio (37 mins)
Now we've got a contest on our hands. Sam Byram intercepts a loose David Luiz pass forward in the Leeds half before starting a quick break by spreading play to Jerome Thomas. His low cross is perfectly weighted for Luciano Becchio to slot home in the box. Elland Road erupts. The Championship side lead the European Champions.
A typically rainy , dreary night in West Yorkshire.
Football 365 comments that it was Jerome Thomas who put the cross over for Becchio's goal.
I'm keeping this off FB for the time being as I've playing hookey from a tedious meeting this afternoon.
PHEW! Victor Moses has a goal disallowed for offside. I think he was on.
I have a tedious meeting in about an hour.
Blow up, ref!
We've got a corner now - make this count!
Oh - Lees had a chance from that corner. Shame.
Three minutes of stoppage time to come. Blow up!
It was just over and could have been 2-0 as we are in stoppage time.
I missed the offside goal... how sad, what a shame, never mind
Free kick chance for Cheslea
Phew - another good save by Ashdown from Lampard's strike.
Lamps with a weird shot well saved!
LOL, UWS! LOL!
Chelsea have a late free kick. Great save Ashdown from Lamps.and Chelsea keep possession.
One more corner - keep it tight, lads.
David Luiz has a shot deflected for a corner that is cleared.
Blow up!
Way hay
HALF TIME!!
WELL DONE MATE!!
Leeds will need to keep Lamps tightly marked in the second half.
Thank goodness - there's goes the half-time whistle. I'm a happy chappy so far. I'm not greedy. I'd take this scoreline at the end of the match.
Halftime and Leeds have a 1-0 lead.
WELL DONE WHITES!
Me too. Leeds will need to do a good job on Lamps as he's been Chelsea's main threat
Sean Molloy on Twitter: "London clubs don't seem to like it ooop North"
Jimmy Floyd has played for both clubs.. which one does he want to win
I know Bob is going to bite my hand off but why hasn't any of the prem clubs tried to buy the Argentine? He is a consistent goal scorer
I've wondered that myself. I can't believe that Becchio hasn't been scouted by the top clubs but there must be something that they don't fancy. Suits me....
Just back from doing a bit of the Leeds United Calypso. Hoping for a good second half performance. Keep it tight, lads!
I am sure Becchio would do well in the Prem.
The second half is underway from ER.
COME ON YOU WHITES!
We get the second half started by giving the ball away. Were they listening to me?
Alan Smith is a Chelski supporter!!
BUGGGERRRRRRR!!!!!
1-1 Mata.
Will you be doing the Calypso in Harlingen? It will be great entertainment. Just a fortnight away!
Apparently it crept under Ashdown there, after his heroics in the first half.
Nice job with the team talk, Neil, you plonker!
BLOODY HELL!! IT'S 1-1 AND TO BE HONEST IT WAS A GREAT GOAL. GREAT FINSIH FROM MATA AND GREAT PASSING. HARD TO DEFEND AGIANST THAT
I will look forward to it, MUR!
We nearly get it back again through Becchio, clipping a cross behind and Michael Brown wanted a pen.
Actually, Ashdown was rooted to the spot as Mata hit a first time shot in the corner. It was a well worked goal and Ashdown didn't have a chance.
Based on my claculations, I will miss the last five minutes of the match due to that tedious meeting
'Tis the season for tedious meetings, apparently.
It seems that way. I have no idea why she is meeting with the math department. She never gave us an agenda.
Bit of a lull in the match. Come on, you Whites!
When do you start your vacation?My last day is Friday
COME ON YOU WHITES!
Ah - Thomas had a chance there but that was a lazy pass.
Sorry, I was in the loo and lost control of the computer for a bit
Tom yelled me the score
Yeah - Friday is my last day too.
sPITTY CROSSES STRAIGHT TO cECH
Was Tom laughing at Leeds?
Michael Brown with his umpteenth foul.
welcome back, UWS.Mata scored about a minute into the second half.
Mata is scary with the ball.. no one can stop him
Michael Brown BEIN lectured by Andre Marriner. Been there done that as far as Michael is concerned.
Friday's my last day too
Yeah - I'm not liking all of this Mata on the ball stuff.
Great save by Ashdown from a great header from a cross by Azpiecuietia.
Sounds like the game is really open now.
He is definitely their most talented player, but Lamps has had some great chances too.
A little bit. It was mainly that one great save by Ashdown from a close range header. Hazard is on for Marko Marin, who did very little this evening
We've got a free kick now - need to make it count.
Not a good sign when Hazard comes off the bench
Hazard has come on for Marin.
I can't believe you don't have a link to watch
SEARCH MAN!!
There were million of links on FR
Yeah - and none of them work.
The free kick was headed away, but Leeds still have possession
I'm alright listening to the audio.
Could be Hazardous!!!
Does it really Mata?
Poor cross fgrom Jerome Thomas and Chelsea now have possession
Nothing decent save
Ashdown does well to hold on to a long range effort from Lamps.
Mine works bloody perfectly
I'll skpye you and let you watch my screen!
Lots of firepower on for Chelski now. I'm on pins and needles.
I don't understand why Leeds are not doing a better job of closing down Lamps.
Alright, then.
Chelsea win a corner off of Sam Byrum
BUGGGGGGGERRRRR!
Ivanovic. 1-2
Bugger... Ivanovic... he always scores
We're in a hole now. Come on!
That was unstoppable
BUGGER! IVANOVIC HEADS IN THE CORNER.
Sorry Bob.
Cheers, lads - we're up against it now.
COME ON DESMOND! COME TO ER!
Time for some changes, Neil. Get on with it!
I had two perfectly good puns ignored by both of you!!
BUGGGGGGGERRRRRR! 1-3. That's torn it.
Bloody hell... that is curtains!!
BUGGER
BLOODY HELL! VICTOR MOSES SCORES FROM 30 YARDS OUT
Victor Moses with the third. We're going out, I'm afraid.
Can you say 4-3?
Was it a long effort? It sounded like a near post run.
I don't want Chelsea to win another bloody CUP!!
They will win it for sure now.. they'll get Bradford!
Leeds definitely up against. I agree with Bob that it's time for changes.
I'd love to see 4-3, but it's going to take an almighty effort now.
It was outside the box... rifled near post after cutting in
Skpye and watch my screen
I sure hope not. I don't want Chelsea winning another cup either
Just as the doc ordered. A change as Aidy White is on for Jerome Thomas.
That might help - Thomas had run out of gas.
Sorry, UWS. I missed the puns because I am struggling to keep up.
I agree. After the Assist he did precious little.
Ryan Bertrand goes into the box.
MUR did you see this article... OUR BELOVED COMMISH makes the press!
Read the comments
He has two negative ratings... one was done by accident by me
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2249634/Leeds-v-Chelsea-A-history-hatred.html
A long Leeds free kick is headed away , then Becks gifts possession
I did not see that, UWS. I will look forward to reading it.
David Norris is coming on to replace serial fouler Michael Brown.
Spitty is also going off - Ross replacing him. One last roll of the dice.
Another leeds change.Michael the thuggish Brown is off for David Norris.A positive move and Ross is on for Spitty. Positive from Warnock
That's all the changes for Leeds and Warnock has no choice , but to go for it.
Cashley is on for Ryan Bertrand. Not liking it.
We're still giving it a go here. I'm watching UWS' Skype screen now.
Very nice of UWS! Cheers, UWS.
A cross was headed out and Becks shot a foot over from the D. It must have been deflected as it is a corner.
Corner now - rubbish delivery. What a waste.
Poor corner and it is out for a goal kick. Muddy by the corner flag
If nothing else, Leeds have shown that they can competer with the best teams and that may kickstart their promotion efforts.
Leeds win a corner off of Azpiecuietia. I think it was Ross.
Cech fumbles the corner and a Leeds player goes down in the box,
Chelsea clear the next corner. Some refs would have called that earlier fall a pen.
BUGGGGGGERRRRR! Hazard. 1-4
