Today's football.

Stunned at how Swansea only brought about 2000. Their fans' tittish chants were a bit annoying too. Always make a noise though. I look forward to hearing about how they'll "sing on their own" on Saturday and how Michu scores when he wants.

If it is a Bradford Swans final, honestly wouldn't surprise me at all in Bradford won it, still a long 90 mins left yet mind

Not sure why people are happy about this tbh. Makes it harder for us to get into Europe.

More like it makes it harder for Liverpool to get into Europe.

Oh the irony if Swansea win the League Cup, depriving 7th place of a European place.

Oh the irony if Swansea win the League Cup, depriving 7th place of a European place, and the 'biggest club in the entire universe la' fail to finish in the top 6.

Without the cup berths only the top 5 get a spot in Europe. We're competing with Arsenal and Spurs for 4th and 5th at the moment.

I know. If a top 5 club win the FA Cup, the league gets another European spot.

Not really arsed about the Europa anyway to be honest. I'd even go as far as to say I'd rather not be in Europe at all than be in that. Pointless competition, ludicrous number of matches, little prize money or respectability. Not a draw for players to join you. Playing on a Thursday night, disrupting your league campaign. Needing a bigger squad too, which we all know isn't going to happen.

It's 4th place or nothing. I still think we'll finish above the RS, and we're capable of 4th if we have a good 2nd half of the season like last season.

one of the top 6 will win the FA Cup surely, the top clubs take it a lot more seriously. just makes it harder for the RS. Still a long way to go in that tie mind you

Looks like we missed a trick with the League cup again FFS.

Good job Adebayour can't finish

anyone care to explain why lennon wasn't booked for that pathetic dive about 10 mins ago? if the refs don't give it as a free kick, surely they feel it's a dive

the announcers said that the ref might have played advantage. I didn't see the ref of the tele so I can't say if he thought it was a foul. Pretty sorry dive though.

Only Bale gets booked for diving.
