Tex...are you sitting down? i got bad news for yer.....Chelsea has been dumped out of the Carling Cup. Burnley won 5-4 on penalties.
The Carling Cup has only been running since 2004 is is of no real meaning . Just another cup for the glass case. It is interesting to note that Chelsea have won this twice and been runner up once,all in just 4 years.
