Midweek League Cup Games

[Dameerto]

Unbelievable, got to feel sorry for Reading a bit though. Surely the winning goal now.

[shawzy]

12 goal thriller 7-5 lol

[Dameerto]

All the better because it will piss off those fuckwits who left when it was 4-0.

5-7 now!!!

[Lev Bronstein]

Not the last minute, Arsenal get a seventh in the 3rd minute of added time of added time - if that makes sense

And we're worried about our defence ;)

That was i was thinking..How the hell can 2 prem teams score 12 goals in 1 game...Entertaining but madness defending.

[Beefymcfc]

Inept reffing performance again.

I watched a quarter from the first half and thought Reading should've had a penalty, as well as much more. After that I gave up so not sure what was given after that.

I turned on at about 65 mins. Saw koshelny (sp) get a yellow, then at 88ish mins (with 4 added) saw him escape a 2nd yellow for a blatatnt foul dragging the man down on the edge of his area. Ref gave a foul and spared the red card then allowed arse to play into 95 mins and score. Koshelny then went on to play a huge part in the final 30 making a few last ditch tackles.

Joke again. Roberts was going mental at 95.

No way he should of got away with that 2nd yellow. Too many bad desicions tonight..The standard of refereeing overall so far has been shocking this season...

[Redna]

Leeds won comfortably against a mediocre Southampton team. Michael Brown at left back. I thought he had hanged up his boots.
CTID!!

In analogy to our "it's like watching Brazil" a few years back, Arsenal fans can now proudly sing "it's like watching Sweden". Or Reading fans "it like watching Germany"...

I thought Roberts made the initial foul in that challenge pulling hard on his shirt so justice was done.

Madness does not start to describe this match.
I watched the whole match with my son who's an Arsenal fan. It started at just before midnight Dubai time, and at 4 nil he was just about to go to bed when Walcott scored. Needless to say it was around 3 in the morning when we went to bed and we both have to work today !!
To be fair to Koscielny, Robert was pulling his shirt which caused the tumble (it showed clearly in the replay) and it should have been a foul against Roberts.

P.S. So it's Mancini time now ?? We've even taken that away from Fergie !

[Ted Hughes]

Some people may have thought they were watching a great football match last night but to me the whole thing was an absolute joke. It was like a competition between the sides to see who could outdo the other with criminally inept defending.

Reading may have thought they won that contest, but when you consider that they were also inept going forward & still scored five goals, I recon Arsenal claim the title previously held by City v Aston Villa in the last round.

[Sideshow Bob]

would guess there were some "unusual" betting patterns prior to and during the arsenal match...
