Crystal Palace made it into the semi-finals of the Carling Cup for the first time in a decade after beating Manchester United 2-1 in extra-time at Old Trafford last night.

After a dull first-half, Darren Ambrose put Palace one up in the 65th minute with a 30-yard 'Darren Ambrose Goal™' shortly before Kiko Macheda hauled United back level a few minutes later by both winning and sticking away a penalty.

Crystal Palace came to Old Trafford tonight as under-dogs and left as hero's as they beat Manchester United 2-1 after extra-time in the quarter finals of the Carling Cup. A big mention must go to former Palace striker and now manager Dougie Freeman who's inspired second-half substitutions of Darren Ambrose and Glenn Murray came up with the goods as Ambrose scored a 35 yard stunner before setting up Murray for the winner 9 minutes into the first period of extra time.

Darren Ambrose scores a brilliant 35 yarder at Old Trafford to give Crystal Palace a 1-0 lead against Manchester United in the Carling Cup quarter finals.

Yesterday in Plymouth, Argyle's lead administrator Brendan Guilfoyle said an incredible thing... no, wait, I know he's been saying incredible things since the start of Argyle's spell in administration in March (and some Luton and Crystal Palace fans might be prepared to go further back in history than that).

Congratulations to Ambrose TJ Smith from Cornwall and Ash Blackshaw from Bolton who won copies of this DVD. Available from Amazon from £8.

The winner of the Stone-Dri Newton Heath t-shirt competition is Christian Atkinson from Nottingham.

"VIDEO: United Drama" was originally published at The Republik of Mancunia.

Stone-Dri's story began in the 1940s when a family of four brothers from Salford began to produced coats and costumes from 95 Broughton Lane, Salford, under the name of ‘Stone-Dri – The Direct Rain Coat Company'.

They manufactured mainly with traditional shower proof fabrics such as, cotton gabardine, poplin, terylene and wool gabardine.

Brendan Ambrose Guilfoyle has a ‘complex' track record in football club administrations a reputation to which he is living down as ‘lead' administrator at Plymouth Argyle, it appears. Argyle's current situation was neatly, if inadvertently, summed up by adjacent headlines on Plymouth's Herald newspaper web-site, as "Argyle's creditors agree debt offer as anonymous preferred owner signs deal" jostled for position with "Argyle acting chairman on fraud and trading charges.
