First France lose to England in the rugby, then they lose to Birmingham in the final! Granddad will be happy!

Right, first of all, well done Birmingham City. They deserved to have scored more that one goal by half time, Arsenal getting lucky with an offside/penalty decision.

We did not miss Fabregas, we missed Theo. And hopefully he will be back in time for the match against Barcelona. Before the match I was not too optimistic knowing that we have a poor record in the League Cup especially against 'weaker' teams winning it only twice (against Liverpool & Sheffield Wednesday) while getting beaten in the final against teams like Swindon Town and Luton. Of course Chelski beat us as well a few years ago, but that was against what was effectively a youth team.

Anyway, time to go and I will post about the kids later. (Sob.)
