League Cup Third Round Time!

It's League Cup 3rd Round time, chaps, and I'm settling in to enjoy as much of the action as I can. My beloved Leeds United are in action at Turf Moor taking on Burnley. Can we take a Premier League scalp tonight? Let's hope so. Come on, you Whites! MOT!

I've got a superb link up through ESPN3 for the Burnley v. Leeds match this afternoon. Wahay!

It's a much changed Leeds side tonight. Apparently Thomas Christensen rattled the teacups in the dressing room after our tame loss at Millwall at the weekend.

First goal of the evening - West Ham have taken the lead against Bolton. Ogbonna with the finish.

Palace can't score to save their lives in the Premiership but they're 1-0 up tonight against Huddersfield. Sakho with the gaol for them.

The Canaries are 0-1 up early doors from a penalty away to Brentford.

Not happy with the way we're playing so far. We're coughing the ball up far too easily in midfield.

I'm back after a meeting with a student. We're into the second half. It's still 0-0 at Turf Moor. At this point, we may be looking at extra and perhaps penalties.

Sakho has scored a second goal for West Ham - they're 2-0 up against Bolton.

Another industrial challenge there from Hendrick. The referee is going to have his work cut out for him in this final period.

Middlesbrough have a penalty, and Aston Villa’s Tommy Elphick has been sent off!

4:00 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Boro have taken the lead from that penalty by Bamford and now lead 0-1 at Villa Park.

4:02 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Thomas Christensen is looking rather dapper tonight, in a sweater number. I'm hoping that he's got some ideas for changes as we approach the hour mark.

4:03 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Kemar Roofe has gone into the book.

Hadi Sakho is about to come on for Borthwick-Jackson in a moment. Attacking move from Tommy.

4:04 PM

Phew - Gudmondsson just wide of the mark for Burnley.

4:05 PM

Bristol City are now 2-0 up over Stoke - could be the first Premiership scalp of the evening.

Sam Vokes has gone down in a heap after that clash with the keeper. Looks like he landed on his shoulder.

4:07 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

We've got just a wee bit of momentum now - come on, you Whites - let's steal this one.

Bamford has added a second goal for Boro at Villa Park. Game over.

4:11 PM

Our old boy Chris Wood is now warming up. Bloody hell.

4:11 PM

Oh - Ashley Barnes might have sealed it there. Headed chance in the box but put it over.

Just over twenty minutes left now.

4:13 PM

Sacko is causing all sorts of trouble down the right flank. Our old boy Charlie Taylor is having real problem handling him.

4:15 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Nice free kick opportunity for us now - and a booking for Gudmondsson.

4:15 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - from the free kick Burnley raced back up the pitch and that cross shot from Bardsley nearly crept in the far post. Lonergan was really exposed there.

4:17 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Robbie Brady coming on for Scott Arfield now for Burnley.

Sam Vokes also coming off - Chris Wood coming on. Bugger.

I'm really liking the looks of this new Irish kid Shaughnessy.

4:21 PM

I'd have Vieira off about now - he looks gassed.

4:22 PM

Fifteen minutes and change left now.

We're really under the cosh now.

4:29 PM

A long ball out to Sacko produces another great run and a free kick now. Long with a yellow. It's also ticks valuable seconds off the clock.

Grot is off now, as the doctor ordered, and Lassorga is coming on.
