26th/27th Aug - Carling Cup

[daikoku]

Well done Kop and a nice price to boot. It was a choice between Cheltenham and Swansea tonight. I decided against Swansea as they might have also been giving the league priority. Wrong choice, c'est la vie.

Thanks Daikoku, it was about time i found a bloody winner, i'm finally up and running.
Sunderland at Forest or Sheff Utd at Huddersfield are the two teams i'll be looking at tomorrow, both are odds against and i've a feeling most of my winnings are going to go on one of those.

Aye , well done Kop , cant believe Newcastle let it slip last minute

[Punter]

I didn't realise Keem', i'd been busy and thought they won 3-2 in normal time, 90+ 4

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=storybody><!-- S BO --><!-- S SF -->
Nottingham Forest defender Kelvin Wilson should return for the Carling Cup second-round tie with Sunderland after recovering from a back spasm.
Lewis McGugan (thigh) misses out once again, as do long-term absentees Paul Anderson (thigh) and Joe Garner (knee). Sunderland will be without striker Michael Chopra as he begins a three-match suspension. However, Kieran Richardson should be fit despite picking up a rib injury at Tottenham at the weekend. <!-- E SF -->
</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>



The rib injury is a bit of a worry in terms of not knowing how long he's likely to play for but I fancy goals tonight and a Sunderland win so I'm buying Richardson's goal minutes at 9 on the spreads.

That was from the BBC by the way.

Newcastle screwed me last night so hopefully claw some of this back tonight.

Sunderland for me. They played ok against Liverpool and got the result against Spurs and on that basis will do for me.

Was tempted with Sheff Utd but their main priority is the league so i'm going to swerve that game but to everybody

lets bust the bookies

[Punter]

I've split last nights winnings on Sunderland @ 2.10 and Sheff Utd @ 2.26 in the hope that at least one of them does it in 90 mins for the smallest of profits, both and it's a bonus. Surely at least one of them will.

Here's Keanes take on the Forest Game...

i've done a single on Sheff Utd as well 13/10 with lads is a decent price considering others go evens

[Bigkegman]
