Championship team in the final, hopefully Cardiff! Result!

[The Bronsons]

What's the point of any cup? What's the point of the Premier League? What's the point of football?

Beats me, but it's more fun than I'm a Celebrity.

'Palace V Cardiff'

Still think you did the right thing Kean?

have we become such a european super force that we can turn our noses up at a domestic cup and one of the only things we can only ever really dream of winning. next season when we just have league games and no europe we will all be dieing for a good run in this cup

Well said. Obviously you hope Fulham will some day (this season?) win, say, the FA cup, but winning the Carling Cup would be no mean feat.

I was too young to see us at Wembley in '75.

And whilst I went to Hamburg, I still want to see the whites at Wembley.

Blackburn manager Steve Kean admitted he had "forfeited" their Carling Cup quarter-final against Cardiff ahead of crucial league games.

Kean's side are bottom of the Premier League and after his side's 2-0 defeat he said: "We are in a position where we have forfeited going through and having the chance to reach a cup final.

"We have games against sides within touching distance of us in the league.

"We need to treat those games as cup finals."

not sure but i was under the impression that Keane has denied this, i was busy last night but i thought i heard something last night on sky news.
