Aston Villa v Blackburn Rovers F.A. Cup 4th Round Match Thread

[Monty]

This isn't going to be a hugely vibrant match-thread, you feel.

[junxs]

Ah bugger. Gonna have to rely on you lot then!

[PaulWinch again]

Oh well let's hope we win, this is going to be nerve racking with no sort of media!

[Villa'Zawg]

Pires is playing a free role in front of NRC (capt.) and Bannan.

[German James]

I must have searched 20 potential streams and the match isn't even listed on most of them. 5Live on t'wireless seems the only possibility.

Cmon lads....us exiles need you in our time of need...Up the Villa boys

[Nev]

Listening to WM, is sounds like we're attacking the Holte. I've got a bad feeling.

[Villa'Zawg]

5 mins gone. Villa have had a couple of attacks, nothing from Blackburn yet.

[JJ-AV]

Any radio links lads?

Students are too poor to afford radios.

[junxs]

Can people listening to it please keep us updated please.. 7 minutes in.. no ones said anything yet

[Risso]

I know Pires has hardly impressed but why not just give him a chance? Let's just get behind him and see what he does. There's enough in that line up to win today.

We've seen what he does, and that thing is nothing.

From BBC live text:

I can tell you that Villa midfielder Barry Bannan has drilled a decent effort wide early on and Emile Heskey, too, has fired off-target in that one.

[junxs]

Why cany 5live extra use WMs commentary? they arent using that channel for anything else at the moment. What a waste of TV channel space.

[olaftab]

At vp. Empty seats all around no more than 20 k and worried about this team selection. Should have more respect for the FA cup. Let's see how it goes

[German James]

What is "WM"?
