A bit obscure, bit silverware is silverware I guess, and going by the fight (or b!tch-slap fest) that happened in last seasons final, clubs do care about it when it gets to the pointy end.
Results from the Quarter finals:
Everton 2 d West Ham 1
Arsenal 3 d Blackburn 2 (extra time)
Tottenham 2 d Man City 0
Cheslki 2 d Liverpool 0
The semi final draw took place last night and sees the following matches played over 2 legs with the team named first to host the first leg:
Chelski v Everton
Arsenal v Tottenham
Would have been great to see Liverpool get through and have Merseyside and North London Derbies to decide the finalists, but not to be after Crouch's brain explosion. Still, 3 North London derbies over the next month!!!! I'll be paying whatever it takes to get in to one of the Carling Cup ties. COYS!!!
