Good morning people. Well it’s not really good morning. Last night we were dumped out of the Carling Cup by struggling Sothend. Despite fielding a strong line-up with superstars such as Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, the Championship side held onto a famous victory.
Despite controlling the game from start to finish, a plucky free-kick from superstar Freddy Eastwood gave Southend a lead they were unlikely to give up without a fight. United battered Southend’s box for much of the game, with Rooney and Ronaldo trying to force their way past the Southed keeper. Smith was replaced on 60 minutes, the striker still looks short of match fitness and confidence, but this will come with time and match practice.
It was one of those nights were it just wasn’t to be, let’s hope we don’t get any of those in the FA cup or Champions league, for it is important that we register results in both competitions.
As much as people say that the Carling Cup is not a major competition, it has found its place in many clubs season. It is an opportunity for the bigger clubs to experiment, providing valuable first team experience for the younger players. It is also a great chance for the smaller clubs to win some silverware, especially those who aren’t fortunate enough to play in Europe.
Finally I thought this might bring a smile to a few peoples faces. Arsenal can’t handle losing.

Apparently on the internet message boards it is alleged that John Terry told Ledley King to 'Shut up you lippy black monkey' before getting sent off on Sunday.
This would explain the following:
Why King went mad, when normally he is mild tempered and the incident appeared harmless. Why Chimbonda went berserk and had to be physically restrained. Why Zakora went mad also. Why Drogba, who was there and
always gets involved, did nothing. Why Terry calmly walked away expecting to be sent off for what appeared on TV to be nothing
Terry was accused by Eto of making racist comments in the Barcelona game last year.
Apparently a Spurs player has leaked this, but Chelsea are working overtime to keep it quiet Ashley Cole has said that Poll told him the lack of discipline by Chelsea was out of order and Chelsea are trying to discredit Poll, but he cannot possibly come out and say what Terry
did as he is the England captain, preferring to say he was sent off for 'ungentlemanly conduct'.
Finally, Rio Ferdinand said in his book that a current England player was a known racist. Wonder who he meant?
