The big boys are on track to face each other in the Carling Cup finals after Saturday’s Semi - Final draw was played out in England this morning.

Manchester United forward and Argentine International Carlos Tevez just got done dropping FOUR on Blackburn during their Quarter - Final Carling Cup clash at Old Trafford with the final 5 - 3.

Four….

Thanks to Tim for the heads up…..

It’s been since the end of September when he damaged knee ligaments during a Champions League win against Aalborg that Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has been in selection for Sir Alex Ferguson, but that’s about to change tonight when United squares up against Blackburn in their Carling Cup Quarter - Final.

Arsene Wenger’s youthful run through the Carling Cup came to a screeching halt as Arsenal’s younger side crashed out of the Carling Cup after losing to Championship side Burnley.

Wow..  Yeah, Pogatetz did get to the ball first, but going up and over the ball could have seriously injured Manchester United’s Rodrigo Possebon more than he already was.

Can you imagine the cajones it takes to leave your seat, jump the sign boards, run across the field and jump into the celebrations with your Team as their on the stage with the Carling Cup and spraying Champagne everywhere? You know this guy was at the pub bragging about it and now he’s getting international press.

All the papers in England are now trying to identify him and when he is, you know that police are going to have a fun little interrogation.

UPDATE - The Spur’s fan name is Justin Cole of Kent.  Now prepare for the glove and a couple of fingers.

When you’re a Premiership player, you know that the English Paparazzi is out to get you doing something stupid to put on the front page of all the papers. People love this stuff and Tottenham Captain and England International Ledley King gave them all they’ll need after getting kicked out of Essex club Faces while celebrating the Carling Cup win with Spurs teammates.

Because security had determined he was “too drunk” to stand, they escorted him out the front door and, without care for the paparazzi waiting King decided he’d had enough and threw a couple haymakers. Even WAG Danielle Lloyd (NSFW) got into the action with a supposed argument with Joanne Beckham inside the club.

Good time, good times.

After being in charge of Tottenham for just a few months, Juande Ramos has already won his first trophy with the north London club. Spurs topped Chelsea 2-1, with a late winner coming from the head of Jonathan Woodgate in 90+4. After years of underachieving, this is proving to be a pretty good yea. They finally beat their north London rival Arsenal after years of consistently losing to them, and now they have won the first major trophy of the season.

On a side note, I’m always happy to see Chelsea lose to anybody!

With all the drama surrounding their marital situation, Chelsea left back Ashley Cole is facing the dilemma of being axed for the Carling Cup Final tomorrow against Tottenham Hotspur. With his Girls Aloud wife Cheryl Cole heading to Thailand, Los Angeles, London (for the Brit Awards) and back to Los Angeles only 48 hours later after the cheating allegations hit the airwaves, you have to put some belief into the theory that Avram Grant won’t risk him in the Final with his fragile emotional state.

While Rafa is having major problems over at Liverpool, Avram Grant is confident enough in his squad that for tonight’s Champions League Clash against Olympiacos in Greece, he might be leaving out big names like Terry, Anelka and Lampard. With Sunday’s Carling Cup Final against Tottenham Hotspur set for Wembley, it seems the big names will be rested unless something goes horribly wrong in Athens.
