Carling cup Round Up

This week saw the last 16 of the Carling Cup.The usual plethora of second team and fringe players representing the premier clubs ( and yet the managers all they how much they value this competition..yeahh righhhttt!!)Three shocks and nearly four as Port Vale came close to upsetting the odds against Spurs.Biggest shock of course was the demise of Man Utd against lowly Southend who currenly wallow amongst the stragglers at the bottom of theb Championship. A relatively strong side by Carling Cup standards was embarassed by a resolute performance by Southend or the Shrimpers as they are known.Although Utd had their fair share of chances and the Southend goalie had a great night Southend could have won with more to spare as two excelent chances were spurned in the last 20 minute as Utd attempted to get an equaliser.So the holders are out and the agents are out for Freddy Eastwood the Striker who scored the winning goal! Watch the January transfer window with interest!
