According to the young bloke struggling to do Soccer (not) Saturday tonight amid the chaos happening at West Ham this result is a shock. Really? I can't say I was particularly surprised.
As ever with the Carling Cup its nice to be involved but once you're out, you do think that its good to be able to concentrate on the League, especially as all this extra time must be taking its toll.
Also this match seemed very much overshadowed by events not at Upton Park but Fratton Park. Obviously Tommy is going but if he really is about to stick two fingers up at Rodgers then he'll leave as even more of a legend than he already is.
