I'm going to miss the whole thing anyway. Dreading what I'll discover when I check the result: Capital One Cup 2013/14 thread

imagine if that earns him a new contract

Back to back away wins for the Moyes machine

Pleased for you. Intermittent lulls amid periods of quasi crisis is pretty much my ideal scenario for you this season.

away games have not been our problem this year

feel the back of my hand sir!

Got to rack up some goals tonight if we're to have any chance what with the second leg being at Old Trafford

United doing well here, Sunderland have created very little

It never rains...

This season's all about the charity shield, anyway.

Bit scrappy. Utd just need to keep their heads, they're better than Sunderland and have already turned things round there once this season.

First penalty for two years iirc?

always knew Borini would come good

Yes, Rafael, what we really need now is yet another spectacularly stupid red card (after Valencia and your brother's fantastic contributions)

5 minutes

Utd a bit unlucky tonight - probably deserved a draw, with a bit of luck could even have won it.

Thread title comes good though

"Manchester United have competed tonight" - Chris Waddle otm

Second Captains very amusing on that earlier

love watching negredo barrel about the place

Lol Roger Johnson backpedaling for 40 yards with yaya running at him and letting him shoot from 12 yards out for the third goal while at no stage attempting to tackle/block. Clown.

ahhh good memories

Hammers even losing the foul count.

Big Sam has made some amount of money in compensation for being shite at his job. Looks like another few million going his way soon..

Eleven goals conceded so far this week. I wish they had someone better than Cardiff this weekend.

It's squeaky bum time

ah well, didn't really fancy the final anyway

holy shit. Moyes in

YES! Fucking hell

I really, really, really, really hate penalties

Only just caught up with what's been going on. Bloody hell!

These penalties have been really shite.

lol that was a shootout for the ages

Seven out of ten missed suggests that.

I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Still, a famous 2-1 victory tonight, let's just ignore the unpleasantness that came after

Dunno what utd's overall performance was like but missing four penalties at OT is abysmal.

it was shite

pure shite

Just seen the Sunderland goal. Oh dear.

Dunno what utd's overall performance was like

The stronger of two weak teams over 90 minutes, but scarcely troubling the Sunderland goal (whereas Sunderland didn't even manage a shot on target until the 119th minute).

Didn't want another Bradford City type team in some mismatched final again, so it is a good result for the cup.

I honestly think Sunderland have more chance of beating City in the final than United would have had anyway (which is still not much)

*Chuckle*

just got home

staring at "win 2-1 on penalties" like a message from mars

I think I vaguely remember seeing an even worse shoot out than this, but only once. Was it Liverpool-Cardiff?
