League cup draw - home to Blackburn Rovers. Again

[Chris Smith]

Yes, because there is a swear-word contained within.

I know that, it just looks odd.

When I was a kid I laughed myself silly at graffiti in a public toilet when we were on holiday that said "IF TYPHOO PUT THE T IN BRITAIN*, WHO PUT THE ****** IN SCUNTHORPE".

* For our younger readers that was their advertising catchphrase at the time.

That was a bit brave of Scunthorpe Council.

Reminds of "The Hours" which I watched yesterday. Virginia Woolf says "if it's a choice between Richmond or death, I choose death."

The Surrey Tourist Board have yet to adopt the slogan.

Dunn for them Sidwell for us - 1-1, out on pens.

[Sister of Top Cat]

Is it decided on the night or will it go to a replay?

[JJ-AV]

On the night

[garyfouroaks]

I predict the lowest attendance at VP for a very long time.

On the night

Thanks - Yes of course it does - how could I forget Sunderland last season! 

[west sussex villan]

If it's anything like the semi final last year. I can't wait. That game was great. One of the best i've been to. Atmosphere was electric!

[Legion]

If the tickets are reasonably priced, say £10 for adults and £5 for kids/concessions then I think there would be a pretty decent crowd.

[Dave Clark Five]

Who will Allardyce be managing?

[Simon Ward]

Who will Allardyce be managing?

Go on

[Phil from the upper holte]

Who will Allardyce be managing?

Go on

He wont leave Blackburn...Fingers crossed

[Pete3206]

I hope to see Sidwell, Isiah Osbourne and Salifou in a midfield three for this game. A mouth watering prospect I'm sure you'll agree.

The trouble with thi sort of draw is that with it being a mid-week match, in the early stages of the cup, against another PL club the ground is likely to be three quaters full.  Another thing is if we win it won't be a big deal, as its only the third round, and we are expected to win, then again if we lose it would put a damper on thinks not least after going out of Europe.  But at the end of the day this computation has to be important to us again this season, so lets just get the win even if its a poor game.
