League Cup Fourth Round Live!

Wahay! It's League Cup Fourth Round day, chaps! Not only that, but the suits at ESPN have seen fit to streaming the Leicester v. Leeds tie live and in color. I'll be locking myself away here at work to follow the proceedings from 2:45pm EST onward. Join me if you have a chance to drop in.

I'm settling in to watch a spectacular link on ESPN 3 now. Come on, you Whites!

In the other matches tonight, Arsenal is hosting Norwich and ManYoo have traveled to Wales to face Swansea City.

2:53 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Slow start to this one over the first ten minutes. Hasn't really settled.

2:58 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - great move there put Grot who drilled a shot into the near post. Well saved by the keeper.

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

We're starting to control the midfield now. Roofe tries one from distance. Saved again.

The late one between Citeh and Wolves is about to get underway.

3:01 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Ambitious effort from Kalvin Phillips - well over the bar.

3:03 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Blimey - I've only gone away for a moment and I've missed two goals - we're at 1-1 with Ienacho just equalizing after Pablo had scored earlier.

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

ManYoo are 0-1 through a Jesse Lingard strike.

3:21 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

We're playing some really good stuff now.

3:22 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - Damari Gray just inches away from a second goal for the Foxes. This is a cracking good match.

3:23 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

A bit scrappy now as we edge toward half-time.

3:27 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - Grot has a go from distance after Phillips' challenge had set him up.

3:28 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Into stoppage time of the first half now.

3:32 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

And that's that - an entertaining first half there where we've played some good stuff. Shame about that untidy equalizer.

1-1 at the break.

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

We're back on at the King Power for the second half now.

3:54 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - Jansson gave Wiedwald a terrible hospital backpass and Slimani was nearly in. King fired over in the end. Nearly another sloppy goal conceded.

3:57 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I am here from work
I have the link of the two United's on my computer and the Arsenal on the radio

3:58 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Leeds almost are their worst enemy... what kind of back pass was that


Arsenal could have been down to ten with a last man offense...nothing given
Norwich threatening to extend their lead

3:59 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Two early goals in the second half at Dean Court
Both teams on the scorecard

3:59 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Sounds like it is all Canaries!

4:00 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Both of our Uniteds have up the tempo

4:00 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Still don't know why teams don't take a chance to win a trophy
Winning is contagious

4:01 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Pablo earns a great free kick chance now.

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

Hiya, Dave - how are you?

4:02 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Free kick chance for Leeds

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

Pablo chips one in and it's easily nodded away.

4:02 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Damn it..I heard about a goal before it came on computer


United extend their lead... Lingard gets his brace

Nice cross, nice header



Bristol City 3 Palace 1

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

The hour mark approaches - time for some changes, I suspect.

4:04 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Hiya Bob

Survived another day at work

So depressing!

4:04 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

You lot are home and hosed then.

4:04 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - Slimani should have scored there - a real sitter, with Albrighton setting it up on a plate for him.

4:05 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Quite a miss there by Salami..... well...his header looked like he was a piece of Salami

4:05 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

We're suddenly just playing everything long; we were playing much better in the first half.

4:06 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

LOL! Yes, it did.

4:06 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Sorry to hear that, mate.

4:06 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

On the radio says that Arsenal made 11 changes and Norwich on my made four...when will they run out of gas!!!

They are professionals!! They can play more than one game a week!


Hate these modern day footballers, managers, pundits!!

FOOTBALL

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

Oh - Ayling floats a teasing ball over and Hamid had to tip it behind.

4:07 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Lingard had a chance for a Matt Nocito-like performance
But he fails to score the hat-trick goal

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

Bloody hell, Kalvin - what was that corner?!

4:08 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Norwich deserve to be more than one up.. They will probably come back and win it

4:08 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

That Matt goal that you sent was magical!

4:08 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Mahrez on for Albrighton now. And we've got Hadi Sacko on for Cibinkski.

4:09 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Love having these matches and Championship matches on ESPN
So much better than BEIN

4:09 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Bristol City are now 4-1 up v Palace

4:09 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Our players don't appear to be in a hurry now - so, it seems we're playing for a draw.

4:09 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I'd have Grot off now, too - he's a bloody statue.

4:11 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

As a United fan, love to see Arsenal and City drop out today


Don't care what trophy, I like to win things

4:12 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

No draws

Extra time then Pens

4:13 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Sorry mate

Foxes take the lead

4:14 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Bugger! Slimani notches the second goal for the Foxes and now we're up against it.

4:15 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Norwich have had so many chances.... many more than Arsenal... will the Gunners steal this??

4:15 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

They are on fire as of late
Derby win on Sunday
Have won like seven away games in a row

4:16 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Under 20 to go around the country apart from Manchester where they kicked off 15 min later

4:17 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

According to Talksport, Arsenal are creating nowt

4:17 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Bournemouth retake the lead at home to Boro


Romero has a shot to save... tipped over for a corner....first one I've see in this half

4:18 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Wilshire in the book
He should have been booked TWICE before he finally does

4:19 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Free kick chance for Swansea... lazy tackle....over the wall.. right into Romero's hands... pretty much a back pass

4:20 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

We need one of the main men on now if we're going to get back into this one. I'd say, Saiz for Grot.

4:21 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

No reason why Leeds don't try and win this trophy

4:21 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Wolves have a chance but blow it at the Etihad

4:22 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh dear - Roofe went down in a heap there. Didn't fall well at all.

4:23 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

No way would we ever win this one. At best we'd get to the quarters, but our first team could never beat United or City or Arsenal.

4:23 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Just what we didn't need - Vardy entering the match.

4:24 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

10 to go

4:24 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

But, they get knocked out because of 11 changes

4:25 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Bournemouth 3 Boro 1

4:25 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Lingard with a decent effort saved

4:25 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - Roofe didn't expect that cross to get to him. Shame.

4:26 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Arsenal are not getting players in the box

"If Norwich win this game, it is thoroughly deserved."

4:26 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Should always anticipate

4:26 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

We've got a huge match with the Blades in three days. That's the priority.

4:26 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Arsenal have scored the equalizer!!
A sub scores with his very first touch

4:27 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

You can win both!!!
You're sounding like modern day numpty...Players play games!! They prefer games than practice

4:27 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The Foxes just dinking it about now.

4:28 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Arsenal fans leaving
The commentators asking why they are leaving?

4:30 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Though Shaw going to play tonight but is only just now coming on after 86 minutes.... for Martial

4:30 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

No - I'm not. The difference is that the United first XI can win the League Cup. When they make the 11 changes, it's basically saying, "we'd prefer to place 4th in the league than to win the League Cup." That's cynical, modern football talk. What Thomas Christensen is saying is that would be better to get promoted than to lose the League Cup in a glorious semi final with Man Utd and not get promoted because of it.

4:30 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

3-1. Mahrez. Over and out. I'm off home, mate. Thanks for joining me.

4:32 PM
