Part of me wants us to play them, and to batter the fuckers, and I mean fucking humiliate them by 5 or 6, to show them their rightful place.
However, the thought of losing to them twice in cups in the same season (the luck these fuckers are having, it would be possible) makes me wary. So i'll settle for one of Brighton/Leyton O/Sheff Wed/Crawley at home.

Home draw again would be great, even better if it was against Crawley!

Pretty much agree with all of this.  I wouldn't mind any of the lower league teams away, Brighton is a good night out as is Sheffield and Nottingham so any of those would do me.  Prefer a piss easy home tie though.  Please not Blues away.

I'd love Orient away. A ground I have never been to, what should be a winnable tie, and who doesn't love an away day in the smoke ay??! Happy days :)

Crawley away would be nice - a 20-mile round trip for me rather than the usual 320! But I wouldn't mind Crawley home either.

To be honest, I still don't think we can entirely rule it out.

To be honest, I still don't think we can entirely rule it out.

In fact, I think we should just break away with them and start our own cup competition.  The Aston Rovers Trophy (ART) could be held annually with rounds 3 to 6 being at Villa Park and the Semi to be staged over 2 legs home and away.  It'd be brilliant, no nervous cup draws by 2nd rate celebrities with Jim Rosenthal chatting inanely in the background.  No need for any media to get involved as history dictates that cameras are seemingly banned from Villa Blackburn cup games.  We would be hot favourites every year and we would be guaranteed not to draw Man U.   ;)

Easy home game or Sheffield Wednesday away for further pub fun would be nice.
