I don't know. I'm still really busy repressing the memory of that match the season before last where we had a 3-0 lead at 75 minutes or so, and wound up coming out of there with 1 point. If I ever get that memory scourged from my mind, then I'll get to work on other Dell mishaps.
Yes, they beat us 2-1. 1999 I think it was, but in the fourth round, not the third. Looks like this could be the first season under Houllier where we don't take the League Cup as such a big one, so we could see a reserve formation out there. Depends on who Strachan has available to him at the time and what team Southampton are facing in the Premier League the next game.
We beat Hull or something in the third, right? I think the Erik Meijer Highlight Reel came from this game.
