Carling Cup Exit

Every cloud has a silver lining, and our exit of the Carling Cup has one, namely, not having to visit that shit hole in Wales ever again! Thankfully, the Carling final will be the last one held in Cardiff (we hope) because the impressive new Wembley Stadium will be finished in time for the FA Cup final.

Chavton arrived with their beach towels, and a 5 minute spell before half time provided all the action. John Terry put us ahead, only for the Addicks to level just before the interval.

A dogged performance saw them take us to pens, and the only blank firer in the shoot-out was Robert Huth. Ordinarily, he should have just stuck it straight at the 'keeper and hit it as hard as he could, which would have ensured the end of the night for him. But alas, his mind was still on his error for their goal, and Chavton go through to the 4th round, incredibly for only the 4th time in their history!

"Curbs" says it was the biggest night in his managerial career, which explains beautifully why he is the only person on the planet that considers himself a future England coach...
