I fucking hate Harry Redknapp.

Given the easiest of easy rides by the press, almost en masse and clearly very lucky not be convicted a couple of years back.

I'm trying to vote away win but it is either telling me the poll doesn't exist or that I am attempting vote rigging.

Anyway, we will hammer another nail into 'Onest 'Arry's coffin and he'll be gone before too much longer. 1-0 Villa smash and grab raid - Benteke 13 minutes.

Rot stopped and a good away win.

Senderos, Sanchez and Grealish to come in for me.

QPR have looked utterly abysmal on nearly every occassion I have seen them and their last result was apparently the best they have played all season against an abject looking Liverpool who still eneded up beating them.

They are there for the taking, as long as we show some positive intent, which I think we will.

Villa last won this tie in November 1992 and it has been played 7 times since - all ending in a narrow defeat or a score draw. Going to that tight little ground, in London, on a weekday evening is not something Villa have previously been good at.

(I remember it well, because I went to all such matches in the 1990s, when I was working in London.)

It's part of our PR profile innit?

Meedja come up with all the things that could possibly go right for the opposition...and then we comply....


Evertheoptimist, we will win!

Did we win 1-0, with Yorke scoring our goal? If so, i was there as well, sat in the family stand.

I think we've only ever won there 3 times, so draw. Probably 1-1.

Nah. QPR desperate for a win and we're happy to oblige.

Doubt if anyone who witnessed at first hand the debacle at Goodison Park will think any different. You tell by body language that our players just weren't up for it. They have the losing mentality and I can't see it changing any time soon.

We even lost there when Fulham were using Loftus Road as their home ground about 10 years ago. I think Jon Harley scored for them but I might b wrong. I was terribly drunk at the time

Can anybody provide a credible reason for why this only works one way? QPR, who have shit all season, largely because they're really shit, are playing a side who have been on poor run, yet somehow they're capable of stopping their own terrible form, but we, a better side, aren't?

Chico, Harley did score a screamer. We played them the following season there too and won, with Delaney having his leg snapped by Bocenegra.

I'm gonna go mad and say Villa win, just because I can't stand to think of Orrible Arry and his Orrible bunch of mercenaries beating us.
