It's 7 miles to Ewood for me, only 4.5 to Deepdale. So I'll be going. I hope it's not going to be like last year. PNE are better, I think, than last year but we have a better squad too. Where is another Barrie Hole when you need him. Perhaps the two Lewis's in midfield will do the trick.

Oh dear. One of the best managers in the championship. Him and the guy at Bristol, to me, have worked wonders.

Don't build your hopes up. And, what would folks consider to be a "strong" team for the cup?

You're right, Renrag. It was Jesse Pye who was a prolific scorer for Luton 1952-54. Joe Payne of Luton scored his 10 in 1936 before we were born.?

The name that springs to my mind is Jesse Payne. Were there two different individuals who played for Luton? I know Tommy Briggs scored 7 for us in one game but the record holder for scoring in one game was Payne of Luton Town with 10.

No. Tony has said, even though his fitness is ok, he won't be in the squad at Reading. He will, more than likely, be in the squad for the home game against Luton Town.

Conway should be ringing Keith Hill to offer his services.

If Tosin is fit to start, I'd put him right back. Must not split up the Irish trio . Captain Bennett is first on the team sheet. So I'd go with Walton; Tosin, Lenihan, Williams, Cunningham; Bennett, Travis, Johnson, Downing; Dack, Gallagher. Subs:- Leut, Rothwell, Nyambe, Graham, Buckley, Armstrong, Evans

Fernhurst is for away fans. This.

Whilst reading about League 1 should be Div 3 etc., one of my biggest gripes is the wrong information in the honours list in the Rovers' programmes. It's been going on for many seasons. I have contacted the producers twice about it but nothing is done. It says:- HONOURS FA PREMIERSHIP Champions 1994-95 Runners up 1993-94 DIVISION ONE Champions. 1911-12, 1913-14 Runners up. 2000-01 That mistake denigrates the fact that we have been champions of England 3 times and not just once. They need to reorganise the listing somehow.

Excellent game of football. Kosovo are very good. Like Blackpool under Ollie in the Prem, they were a breath of fresh air. I enjoyed every minute.

I bet they don't play as well as a team of young lads.

The way that the laws of the game have been changed mostly for the worse. The over complicated way that is used for VAR. I knew this would happen. Lack of respect for referees and linesmen.Yes I know that linesmen are called something different now. Lack of a sensible maximum wage worldwide.

Nobody seems to have mentioned that Cunningham had his arm pulled so their forward could go past him and score their first goal. Ref was blind to that yet he saw their keeper being fouled for our third. Useless official! Even the pundits on EFL on Quest pointed that out.

Already? Bloody Hell!

I think the 5-man forward line of Ferguson, McEvoy, Pickering, Douglas, Harrison was the best and most exciting I've ever seen. I was around 20 years old at the time. Maybe it's nostalgia but (for me) it beats Ripley, Sherwood, Shearer, Sutton, Wilcox. Then again...............maybe not. Different era. Different pace. R.I.P. Mike.

What was the line-up, who scored and who is Barnes?

Must be better than the Canadian.

Also BBC seem uninterested in the F A Cup.They are so useless. So here is the result:- Longridge Town 0 Charnock Richard 2

I thought it was a good game. Nip and tuck. Cardiff are a very good side and we did well to keep a clean sheet. We have 7 points from games which I thought we would be lucky to get 4. We're OK.

It wouldn't surprise me if Mowbray picked Tosin at right back and Bennett at left back if he is sticking with a back four.

Just for the record, Rovers 1 Wolves 2. (HT 0-0) A Chapman shot equalised for Rovers. Despite heroic defending with 9 men they conceded towards the end. Also Andy Fisher has gone on loan to Northampton Town.

No government of this country of whatever colour is going to intervene in football matters. It's up to the football authorities. But they seem to be inept. Par for the course with regard to many things in this country.

That's right. Blame the Tories. It's their fault for everything, including fires in the Amazon.

At the Charlton game I queued for 25 minutes in the fanzone tent to get a beer. At the Middlesbrough game I noticed several mini dispensers of Fosters all around the Blackburn End manned by two people at each one. That, to me, was a great initiative. Those just wanting Fosters wouldn't have to queue. And the main queue for other things would be greatly reduced.
