Capital One Cup Semi finals begin in earnest tonight. No doubt gullible people will tell you Man Utd and Man City are shoe-ins for the dream all Manchester final but then both Villa and Chelsea were heavy favourites this time last year and look what happened to them.

Love the two legged format at this stage, twice the drama and raw emotion, should be four crackers.

As long as Sunderland don't go a goal down

Man City will walk the other semi so much it will be embarrassing.

West Ham took out a full page advert in yesterday's Standard to try to sell tickets for the game. That's a little sad, isn't it?

Wow. I don't live in London, so rarely see the Standard these days. You would have thought that a club with the tradition of West Ham wouldn't have to resort to that. Sad. Any idea what the capacity is?

What a ball from Yaya Toure and finish from Negredo for City's opener tonight. Stunning.

Unlucky Jimmy. I've had one or two near misses like that in the past.

Return COC Semi's begins tonight.

West Ham need an early goal if they are to have any chance of turning their game against City around and make the crowd believe the great comeback is on.

Don't worry - Andy Carroll is back. Isn't that what Big Sam and the fans have been banging on about for ages? This could be the game that turns their season around. Alternatively it could be the night of Sam's sacking. If there are fringe/reserve team players in the City line-up they will be desperate to impress, and a defeat against what could effectively be a reserve team won't reflect well on the Hammers.

Game on!
