Chewbacca 0 Posted August 12, 2010 I''d be suprised if at this stage (and against chamionship opposition) Allardyce puts out a team remotely resembling his starting 11 in the league. So it should be winnable at least! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Shuck 183 Posted August 12, 2010 Pink Un getting a bit pompous about the game!"It is hardly the glamour tie the Canaries were looking for after Tuesday night''s comprehensive 4-1 victory over Gillingham."Not quite the "glamour" game that Blackburn might have hoped to pull the punters in either! Plus, if, by "glamour", Pink Un are referring to the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd, Man City and Liverpool, then might they be reminded they aren''t in until the next round anyway?Decent tie for us.

Chunky Norwich 0 Posted August 12, 2010 SKY like their glamour ties and/or glamour teams. Unfortunately, on a national level, Blackburn and Norwich aren''t really viewed as exciting or interesting teams.Whichever team Blackburn put out, they''ll be big bruisers and will knock our defence about no problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted August 12, 2010 I think it is one of the worst draws we could have got. Away to a premiership side who may be half interested in the competition and field a decent side. We will probably be beated and watched by about £5000 which will hardly cover the cost of the coach travel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We will probably lose, will take very few fans as its miles away and Blackburn will get about 3,000 for it. Whilst they are one up from Wigan or Blackpool I suppose, whatever league they might be in they are a small club with sh*t support and I am not in the least bit excited about playing them just as I don''t understand why any of our fans would have found the propect of playing Newcastle United pre-season with "the likes of Andy Carroll gracing Carrow Road" in any way exciting. I would say that any of the prem teams was a bad draw for us as the only good draw would have been one that gave us a good chance of winning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted August 12, 2010 This Cup competition is designed for run of the mill Premiership teams as it is their most likely route to any glory.For Norwich, the Gills tie was helpful in getting the season going and some match fitness for The Horse, beyond that, unless we get some home ties or possibly some TV money it isn''t worth a wank.This is a bloody awful tie for us.

Mister Chops 7 Posted August 12, 2010 Blackburn is an almighty shithole. If we dropped Anglia Square into the middle of Blackburn town centre, people would think Xanadu had just fallen from the sky. I''d rather have cat AIDS than go to Blackburn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We won''t get good support as its miles away and not a very exciting tie (although we will take more there than they would bring to us); and2. We will probably lose so we won''t get a cup run!I will admit that in the sense of the fact we are underdogs and have nothing to lose it could be an enjoyable game because all the pressure is on them and any kind of decent result is a bonus. I still don''t think its a good tie though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
