Well Done Palace, I Suppose

[joggerjayne]

Well, credit where it's due ...

I have to (grudgingly) hand it to the six toed Croydon inbreds ...

A good result, beating Man Utd last night.

I hope they get to the final.

Thats what you get for fielding a "weakened" team.....

Morning JJ,

Missed the game, but nice to the see the minnows beating the pike for a change.....good for them. :0)

...Oh...and Selhurst Park is nearer to Thornton Heath than Croydon, so should read six toed Thornton Heath inbreds ...LOL :0) xx

[whatmeworry]

But it shows what the "big " clubs really think of the League cup, otherwise they wouldnt put out their "reserve" teams.

still, you can only beat whats put out in front of you

[joggerjayne]

Yogi... My knowledge of Croydon is limited to the quickest way to COSTCO and out again!

=0)

[rowanwitch]

Redman is still gloating over the liverpool result always good to see united beaten though

[joggerjayne]

Liverpool beating Chelski ... again ?

[joggerjayne]

crafty and whatme ... was it a weak team?

But yes ... you play the team who turn up.

triggy ... I didn't see it, I just heard the result on the radio.

[yogi-bear]

LOL......JJ

I go up there quite a bit either playing gigs or taking music technique classes at The Brit School. x

JJ,

Our eldest is lucky today......he's at the COSMAT conference here at The Duke of York's Cinema includes watching a special screening of "Skeletons" by Nick Whitfield and meeting the cast and crew for a Q&A session afterwards.....Jason Isaacs, Andrew Buckley and the brilliant Will Adamsdale ( Four Lions ) included. :0)

I would say that a "weakened team" is one where the majority of players lack premiership experience, players that are coming through from the youth team, all the big clubs use tournaments like these to get to see members of the squad in action. Players that are in the team to get a bit of match fitness after overcoming injury. The press and media would also use terms such as "under strength". This kind of team selection has long been a bone of contention between the football clubs and the FA.

They're having an open top tram ride through Croydon on Sunday.

[pa___ul3]

Utd still started 7 full internationals! Well done Palace, although they clearly upset the FA's planned final by doing so!

[yogi-bear]

"They're having an open top tram ride through Croydon on Sunday".

Oh, oh......That racist lady IS remanded in custody, is'nt she? :0)

[redman41]

Although Liverpool have won this Comp 7 Times they have never played at the New Wembley, so we have to beat Man City to get there.
Well done Palace but I fancy Cardiff will beat them in the 2 Leg Semi
