Your reputation precedes you, Mr Ronaldo Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo thought he had won a
penalty during yesterday's Carling Cup final when Ledley King tripped him in the area. Referee
Chris Foy had other ideas and booked Ronaldo for diving. Replays show that King clearly caught the
Portuguese international and that a penalty should have been [.
The spot-kicks that settled the silverware The Carling Cup final went the whole way earlier today.
This is the penalty shootout that eventually settled the match after a goalless 120 minutes. Man
Utd emerged 4-1 winners at the end of the shootout. For now you can enjoy the action (particularly
look out for the contrast in Carling [.
After watching Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United side clinch yet another trophy, I couldn't
help but wonder how we can fix extra time. Anyone that saw Sunday's Carling Cup final was forced to
witness one of the most boring and slow half hours of football. Played at a walking pace, both
sides were exhausted and just waiting to bring the match to penalties.
I caught then end of it actually, I hope that's not a sign that Wazza is going to haunt me later
today.
In all seriousness, when I look at the squad we have to choose from compared with what Utd have to
work with, I can see nothing other than a victory for Sir Alex's men. If our medical team have
managed to get all Ledley's plastic limbs fitted in time, we might have a chance of keeping things
respectable at least.
The Carling Cup final is just around the corner. Does it matter?
Here are some of my favorite football stories from the day that you may have missed: "Your
Chants To Help Charity" (Man United Official Website). In addition to Carling allowing fans to
create their own banners for the pitch-side advertising for this Sunday's final, Carling has now
come up a new, unique idea.
1. The quintuple is still on for Manchester United then. It is a big ask, but then again they won
this one without some of their biggest stars. 2. Ben Foster was immense. Please let him stay fit in
the run-up to next year's World Cup. 3. So David Bentley can hit a skip from a roof, [...]
It seemed like a whirlwind footballing weekend. We got confirmation that Arsenal and Liverpool are
in a freefall, while Chelsea still has a long way to go if they have any hopes of closing the gap
with Man United. And the Red Devils, even with a B team, showed how much depth they had against
[...]
Cristiano Ronaldo insists he should not have been booked for diving during Manchester United's
Carling Cup final win over Tottenham Hotspur. The United winger was cautioned by referee Chris Foy
in the second half of Sunday's game at Wembley following a challenge by Ledley King inside the box.
Foy cautioned the Portuguese ace for simulation, but Ronaldo [.
The title says it all. The English goalkeeper has been hailed by many as the future of English
football, and his performance in the Carling Cup final against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday is
exactly why. With the likes of Edwin van der Sar and Tommy Kuszczak getting the bulk of the playing
time, appearances for Foster are normally few and far between.
Video goal highlights from the Manchester United vs Blackburn Rovers game on October 31, 2009.
Kicks off at 17.30 UK time from Old Trafford, Manchester. United beat Barnsley in their midweek
Carling Cup tie, while swine flu hit Blackburn were too strong for Peterborough, managed by United
boss Sir Alex Ferguson's son Darren.
Less than two weeks remain until Wembley Stadium witnesses Carling Cup holders Tottenham Hotspur's
title defense against reigning Premier League and European Champions Manchester United.
Unsurprisingly, fans across the world are actively debating the importance of this Cup final.
Unlike the FA Cup, which is universally acclaimed as arguably the most prestigious club cup
competition, the League Cup has earned itself the notorious nickname of "The Mickey Mouse
Cup," referring to its minor, if any, importance in many circles of football.
So the countdown to this years Carling Cup Final enters the final week of tension as
Tottenham fans nervously await Sundays final, whilst Manchester United's supporters will be as calm
as anything. This year though, Carling have decided to give up 32 minutes of digital perimeter
board advertising to allow supporters to create their own banners to be [.
Let me preface this article by saying that as an English Premier League fan I've been extremely
ecstatic about Hull's form this season. As newcomers to the world's greatest league, not much was
expected out of Phil Brown's inexpensive squad. In fact, many members of the media - myself
included - had written them off as a definite relegation side.
It feels too early to be having a cup final, but this Sunday Manchester United will take on
Tottenham Hotspur in the Carling Cup Final at Wembley. There's good news and bad news for United.
Bad news, Rafael da Silva is out for a month with an ankle injury. Good news. Spurs keeper Carlo
[...]
Goalkeeper Ben Foster will face no disciplinary action from the Football Association for
"iPodgate." Foster broke no Football Association rules by studying Tottenham penalties
before the shootout in the Carling Cup final yesterday on his iPod. Man of the Match Foster
admitted that before the shootout he looked at previous Spurs penalties on his iPod which showed
Jamie [.
For many football fans, it's a dream come true. The possibility of seeing your favorite team play
in a cup final at Wembley. But in the case of Man United fan Phil Spark, it turned into a nightmare
when he couldn't get a ticket to see his team play Spurs in the Carling Cup Final. [...]
Two points off 'The Zone' again and a proverbial six pointer against Middlesbrough on Wednesday.
How will Spurs react to the Carling Cup loss on Sunday? Last year we won it and switched off: this
year we lost it and if we repeat last year's run in we will be in the Championship.
Now everyone from Alan Hanson to my mum knows it can't happen but we all know actually that it
could.
Well it seems that the realisation that we might in fact get relegated has caused consternation and
confusion in the ranks, especially over Harry's team that played against Shaktar on Thursday. Is
avoiding relegation the only game in town now? Or do we because of our fine history, cup record and
to show faith with the fans need to go for everything and not subject ourselves to the indignity of
prioritisation?
Video goal highlights from the Portsmouth vs Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, 17 October at Fratton
Park. Kickoff 3pm UK time. Pompey are bottom of the table going into this game, but won their last

Hotspurs side.
