Carling Cup special round-up:
Their were many joint teams in the Football Leagues who went the furtherest in the competition so well done to them (including Sheffield United). Special praise goes out to Luton Town who incredibly went to the 4th round. Joint praise is awarded to Morcambe who reached the 3rd round but knocked out by the Blades. They can take praise though as they beat two Championship teams. The quality in League 2 wasn't very good as most of the teams didn't make it past the 1st round.

The 1st round draw for the new season will be made on Friday. See who the Blades face on Blades Mad on Friday morning.
