a good start, if completely and utter unexpected.

game on!

...and theres another one.

away goals count after extra time dont they?!

Indeed, so this would go to extra time, but no penalties now. Very good start.

Bolton 2-0 Arsenal as well.

Liverpool 1-0 up against Spurs

Saints 1-0 up against MK in the piss poor paint pot thingy?

Peno and Blackburn down to 10. Everything in this.

he got the ball then. at first glance I thought that was a fucking awesome tackle

.....well I was totally wrong!! first for everything  :-[

Penalty and a red card.

Allardyce will blow his top as he always does, but correct decision.

SWINDON REJECT :D

A penalty would've sufficed, but thanks to FIFA's 'double whammy' rule they get double the punishment.

It'll take something for Blackburn to come back again now.

Cracking game this.One of the best i seen in a long time

Horrible, horrible rule.

Good game though :)

I don't mind sending the player off if the incident is outside the box, but when it's inside they are effectively replacing one one-on-one with another...the penalty.

Villa will know one more goal will put the game out of reach, especially with Blackburn down to 10.

The last man rule is a good one outside of the box, otherwise you'd have professional fouls all over the shop, whenever anyone gets through on goal (I remember Donkey getting away with one in Leeds that was rather naughty) but inside the box, the penalty is enough unless it's a particularly bad foul.

Really enjoying this game. Great to see both teams really going for it.

Cor Milner, that was a bit of a scorcher.

fantastic game, is cuellar playing up front or something?

good goal by milner

thats Gabbys goal!!

I'd like to see Villa win it.

It's been one way traffic since the sending off...

arse now back on level terms.

In rather dodgy circumstances as well, bit of a horror foul from Gallas in the buildup apparently.

I was hoping Blackburn would win. I cannot stand villa there fans are extremely fickle and agbonlahor & young are diving sods

Even heskey scores!

...and he still fell over doing it.

And now Blackburn get a goal, this is going to be a Rugby score.

one of the best games ive seen in a while.

Cracking goal from Olsson.

that was a pretty good finish!

He looks a tidy player that Olson

I hope we're never rich enough that we give out free scarves / flags to every fan that passes through the door. Villa fans look like a bunch of Lemmings with those flags, same as Chelsea / Arsenal.

It was 4-2 when I started writing. 5-3 now

Love it. I'm cheering whichever side score. Neither team means anything to me but I like seeing goals  :)

How good is james milner?

yep, thats why i will watch any game i football thats on tv, i dont care who plays i just wanna see goals.

arse now 3-2 up.

haha, he lets in 5 goals, makes a good save and you here "robinson for england again?" haha

Leaving his game aside, he's probably in the best form of any of the English qualified goalkeepers apart from Hart. I'd probably take him as one of the three.

5-4, this is ace.

Blackburn are gunna win this

hehe, behave

As it's the 50th League Cup competition, the FL are running a competition to vote for your favourite LC moment and a certain game from '69 gets a mention...

http://leaguecup50.com/default.aspx

A certain game from 2003 is in the list too

what a way to finish the game.

I bet the bookies are happy...I bet no-ones predicted a 6-4 scoreline...

Just voted.  Can't see us winning, but could make top 10

Me too :D
