Palace fan here. I know we were playing against what was essentially a reserve team, but it was still a reserve team with bags of talent and 9 full internationals. That was one of the best team performances from Palace I can remember - well chuffed! And I was praying for Cardiff at home in the draw so things are looking promising...

See you in the semis mate, how do you fancy your chances? We seem two similar matched teams but I think the second leg being in Cardiff could tip the advantage to us?
I'd be happy with another day to Wembley! 4 times since '08 it would be, surely make Cardiff most appearences outside top 4 wouldn't it? Could be wrong?
Yeah, tough one to call - we've beaten some decent teams en route, relatively speaking. I agree - I'm hoping we can bring a 2 goal advantage with us to Cardiff. Looking forward to it anyway - I've had f*ck all else to cheer about in the last few years as a Palace fan!

Since I am not from England, I kinda don't know the rules of League Cup. So basically, if Cardiff/Palace advance in the final and play with City, who qualifies for EL? In case City finish in CL place, does Cardiff/Palace goes in EL, or 6th place?
Cardiff or Palace. Like Birmingham this year.

And if Liverpool wins it and they finish 5th, who will go to EL?
Cardiff deffo deserved it, coming from a Palace fan. Proud of the lads though, they fought like lions. The better team won, though.
Hoping to get down to London to see the final. Will be supporting Cardiff. 7 hour round trips ftw.

Kind of justice how Bellamy scored against his former club, to set up the match with his other former club. He was outstanding.
What's even more ironic though, is that the club that released him 6 months ago due to "surplus to requirements" has just raped them senseless.
Que Sera, Sera
While we're talking about Bellers, this is what the King said: If Man City have got any other players like Craig Bellamy they don't want, I hope they've got my number! 
Well they kinda dug their own grave by letting us have Bellamy who turned out to be a bargain of the year really...
