Anyone else planning to avoid the score and watch when they get home?

Me too. I predict Blackburn-Mania will take hold of this board over the next few weeks.

I just wish we could play them more often.

Tickets for the Saturday 30th games sold out locally in two days, giving a 40000 sell out. For both games, all travelling fans are located in the dearest seats, the only reserved ones available. Kick offs are the same as Wednesday.
Still tickets left locally for Wednesdays games.

Eastie will have to have two tellies next to each other - one showing match, one SSN, as the transfer window will be really hotting up by then.

My missus can't understand me watching old matches on ESPN classic or the repetitive SSN. Sky Sports News Gold would really push her over the edge.
