Sam Allardyce has criticised the referee as Aston Villa came from 2-0 down to reach the final, probably complaining that he allowed Villa to be much better than his team. Blackburn bagged the first two goals of the night to go ahead on aggregate after their 1-0 loss at home, but after the home side had made it 2-2 by half time (thanks in part to the red card for Christopher Samba after 30 minutes), there was no coming back. This was no match of the season, despite the bizarre scoreline.

Brave, courageous Gary Neville could be in trouble with the jobsworths at the Football Association after he reacted to Argentine turncoat Carlos Tevez’s first goal in the Carling Cup semi-final by raising his middle finger towards the Manchester City striker during the first leg of the semi final.
A greedy Argentine, yesterday…
A grizzly old bugger, yesterday…
