Capital One Cup

[stealthpapes]

Tonight's games.

Arsenal v Chelsea
Birmingham v Stoke
Burnley v West Ham
Leicester v Fulham
Man Utd v Norwich

Some interesting old fashioned cup ties there but which game gets televised? Boring Arsenal v just as boring Chelsea. Don't Sky realise that most fans see the cup competitions as an excuse to watch teams we don't normally get to watch - Burnley, Leicester, Brum. We end up with a Prem fixture - yawn - same as any given weekend. Still I'm sure that the Arse, Chelsea and Citeh needed the TV money this week.

Sadly, and its certainly how I see the competition, I really don't think that's true. They simply pick the one likely to get the highest audience.
