Friday 25.1.13 KO 7:45pm
Shrugs.
-
It comes to something when our beloved has driven me to feel like
'Who cares'
-
This has to be the most obvious home banker of all time - we are completely shot with very little alternatives available to take some of these lads out of the firing line.
So 1-2 then - Bent 2.
-
As much as I love the FA Cup. It may be a distraction we can't afford. Play those that need a game for fitness and give some of the reserves a go.
-
Play the reserves, get beat, take it and move on. It is a Friday night game so won't attract that much attention anyway and could hardly be called a shock result!
-
Couldnt give a toss right now to be honest.
-
Millwall 2-1 Villa.
More shame on us.
Lambert out.
-
Meh
-
03:45 on a Saturday morning? Right now there's no way in hell I'd get up for that after the second half last night. I know when Friday comes however, all will change.
Through thick and the very thin. Although, I agree it would be nice to mix the team up a bit - some of those performances last night don't deserve a start. Give Carruthers a go, always on the bench and no harm in giving him an opportunity. Be great to see at least 1 new body in as well.... Even if its just to give us all some hope.
Time to make up for it Villa, win against Millwall and Newcastle and we can move on from last night. To all those making the trip; enjoy your Friday night in London, make plenty of noise, keep warm and give 'em hell.

'Who cares'
This.
I'm sure by Friday I'll have got over this feeling but right now I couldn't care less about the Millwall game.
-
Wonder how many people will sacrifice what they've paid to give this a miss.
-
Just don't see how this manager and this team will ever win another football match.
-
Oh no - so soon.
Let do snow dances please
-
At least we'll be nice and fresh having avoided extra time last night :o We'll win.
-
We have bugger all chance of getting anything from this, Lambert should just play the kids....oh wait, he has been all f'ing season!!
Oh and we will be relegated this year so brace yourselves guys.
-
It comes to something when our beloved has driven me to feel like
'Who cares'
Exactly ..couldn't care less if we win or lose.Infact I'm going to go cinema just completely avoid anything to do with the match
-
3-0 to Millwall.
And we'll go again.
-
I couldn't care less about this cup...head says hope we exit early so we can focus on staying up. But the heart will never want Villa to lose, no matter what.
Win and we can at least bounce back a bit ready for the Newcastle game. Lose and I dread to think what it will do to our already shot confidence...
-

Newcastle haven't won away all season. You know what's coming next don't you?
-
Millwall 3 Villa 1. Can't see us raising ourselves for this and Millwall will be relishing the opportunity to play us.
-
100% votes for the opposition - never ever seen that before even when Villa have played the likes of Man Utd, Ajax etc etc. It does feel inevitable though doesnt it, more humilation in front of a national audience on a FRIDAY night FFS thanks to the television companies. I heartiily commend anyone going to this game because that team and the club in general certainly are not worthy of your support. At least if Bradford or Swansea do win the cup it will be someone different because with the usual gloryhunter teams gobbling everything else up football has gotten frigging boring and Villa's complete decline certainly isnt going to make me revive my own interest. I voted for Millwall by the way. They'll probably win 3-4 corners and score from everyone of them.
-
4-0 Millwall.
-
Just don't see how this manager and this team will ever win another football match.
Hollow I know but they actually won last night.
As for the Millwall game, rest as many as possible and let the chips fall as they will.
-
I bet nearly every poor sod on here will be tuning in for the latest misery. Ah well better than being medicore.
-
This poll would be less one-sided if the question was "would you trust Gary Glitter to babysit your kids?"!

I don't think its on TV is it?
-
Not a hope in hell of getting a result. Can't even perform in front of a full Villa Park, never mind a full New Den.
-
Narrow Millwall win but who cares, I must be getting used to us being shit because I am finding it easy to shrug off whatever is thrown at me by the noses.
-
I think this may well be the first game where I don't follow the game via any kind of media source.
At this moment, I couldn't care less.
This is the lowest I've ever felt as a Villa fan since I started going around '95.
-
No pride, no guts, no passion, no organisation, no motivation.
Millwall 3 - 0 Over-paid tosspots
-
If we decide we want to play the opposition in the second half, unlike in the last two games, well then I think we will have too much for them.
Last night was the lowest point in all my years supporting Villa, if the players have pride in the jersey they wear (and that is a big "if") the shame of last night's result should spur them on a bit.
A loss, we will score early again and they will score from two corners late in the game.
-
Funnily enough I think it is the perfect game for Lambert. He has a few days to rethink his "plan" and give something a try on Friday night. Preferably with Bent up front and some width. A win, good performance and a few goals from Bent in a different system might see us go into Newcastle game with some confidence.
It's a free game for PL. We're not going to win this competition at this rate, so in a way the pressure is off before it is very much back on the week after.
-
3-1 millwall .
Just thankful it's not on the telly so they can't embarrass us again .
-
I know that the game isn't on TV in the UK (which is understandable. Why would ESPN waste one of their slots showing Villa) but is it being shown overseas and thus available by........... ahem, teletext ?
-
A draw on Friday, bring them back to VP so they can humiliate us in front of more supporters. Someone said last night that Sky are now showing this but can't find anything to confirm it
-
Have we sold out our allocation now? I noticed it isn't on the ticket page anymore.
-
Really couldn't care less about this.
-
Just don't see how this manager and this team will ever win another football match.
We won last night
-
I care and we will win this if not on Friday than after a replay.
-
I care and we will win this if not on Friday than after a replay.
I care. But still think there is a high chance we will lose.
I'm not saying we have the worst players I've seen in this division, but some of the performances have been the worst.
-
Play the reserves, get beat, take it and move on. It is a Friday night game so won't attract that much attention anyway and could hardly be called a shock result!
Much as it grieves me to be in this position I have to say I agree with this.
-
I care about every game but it comes at the worst point possible. With Newcastle not playing we are going to be so jaded Tuesday.

He's too stubborn to change his plan, the lack of width last night was awful, if we used players for an over-lap last night I believe we could have won.

Whilst i understand where you're coming from, that would'nt be fair on the fans travelling down to watch us.

Jose will get the boys playing Villa 7-0 win.

Millwall ;( sad times never felt so low

didnt think Sky did the cup games , not sure . Thought it was ITV and ESPN
-
i got an idea, someone whitewash one of last night's flags and deliver it to south London (to be retrieved from Stephen Ireland's ringpiece)
-
We go (down the toilet) again.
Lamberts Lily-livers to get plucked. 3-0 to Millwall.
-
Jose will get the boys playing Villa 7-0 win.
Now that would be a dream come true, the Special One relishing the challenge of awakening a so called sleeping giant. Getting us stabilized this season. Selling all the shite players the club have accumulated over the last few years and going into the next season with a delicious blend of youth and experience in the side....... I must ask my physician to review my medication..... I've come over all peculiar.....rocks back and forth and giggles.....

Didn't the FA use to shown some cup games online a few years back ?
I'd have thought that a non-ITV, non-ESPN game on a Friday night would have been ideal for that service.

Fucking hell, another game. Just what we didn't need.

As fans that is.

Them 2 Us 1

I understand it was moved by the Met due to a demo on Saturday at a local hospital facing closure, which is far, far more important. It moved after the TV games were annouced, to I also understand from another H&V post somewhere that The FA are streaming it gratis on their website.

Thats the team I would go with except for maybe Dunne alongside Vlaar. Doesn't matter whether he is half match fit or not, get some mileage into his legs.

There must have been a burglary at the ticket office.

Why would you want to play a left back at centre half?
-
Three nil Villa. All three goals in the second half would be nice.

Not a chance, no way will we score after half time when De-Motivator has his team talk

True. I was just trying to motivate myself into some sort of belief. Fuck it, back to sulking like a kid i go. :'(
-
Still undecided whether I bother going to this one, might just cut my losses and sit in all night sulking. I'm not ready to forgive Villa
-
Doubt he will do it, but if he's going to stay then Lambert has got to wipe the slate clean and this game is the perfect opportunity to do so. I really didn't think I would be saying it this season, but bring Hutton and Warnock back in and play Dunne if he is anywhere near being fit enough. Whichever way you look at it the midfield is a mess, so I would just go back to a basic 4-4-2 with the following team:
Given
Hutton ----- Vlaar ------ Dunne ----- Warnock
Holman ----- Westwood ---- Delph ---- Bennett
Weimann ---- Bent
-
Same old, same old, out fought and out thought, another beating... at least we can concentrate on the league then!
-
This is too soon for me, I'm still furious over last night. The playing staff, management and board should be fucking ashamed of themselves.
-
I will be glad when this game comes along. It will either be something else to moan about or may take a very, very small part of anger away from after the Bradford result.
-
Lerner strategy of cutting the wage bill by doing away with win bonuses to bear more fruit. 2-1 home win for them.
-

It will be the latter, we will win 1-2.
-

This game can fuck off as far as im concerned. My feelings will probably change by Friday but right now i wish we didn't have a game for months!

I've decided to drink between last night and Saturday. In ashamed, disgusted and upset today.
Made worse by the fact I'm working in Yorkshire today and everyone is talking about fucking Bradford
-
Play for a draw lads, we need the money from the replay - hell they might even put it on TV.
If this does go to a replay, I could actually see it being a four-figure attendance.
-
Is this on live TV? If so, another beating infront on the cameras!
-
I'm absolutely convinced that by 10 pm next Tuesday we will be out of both cup competitions and be closer to achieving relegation to the Championship. Will we win another game before next August?

Not a chance, It'll be 4 defenders 2 midfield and 4 up front. He'll wonder why we are getting over run in Midfield and losing 1-0 so he will take off a midfielder and put another striker on. We will have no midfield so lump the ball up, then wonder why their 4 midfielders keep picking up the lose ball and calmly play their way out of trouble
-
Proper f**ked.
-
I will be glad when this game comes along. It will either be something else to moan about or may take a very, very small part of anger away from after the Bradford result.
I'm far too apethetic for this. Friday will be like a funeral in the away end
-
loss...2-0
if I was the Millwall coach/manager I would be practising the fuck out of dead-ball situations.

Will do
-
Beat again, and Mr Lambert will say in the post-match conference that we played " really fine" >:(
-
Yay! another game at another ridiculous and nonsensical time!
could not give a shit about this game even if I tried. any wish of wanting to succeed in a cup seems diminished. only league games matter now.
-

I'm struggling to get myself up for those too. My dad won't be going to Newcastle so I have a slight chance of getting there. If I'm honest I just think I'll stay at home

@MatKendrick: Think captain @RonVlaar4 is scheduled to do tomorrow's pre match press conference duties rather than the manager #avfc

Cowardice?

Hopefully Lambert's got a job interview that clashes. Manager of a circus, perhaps.
-
ooooooh. Interesting... is lamb for the chop?
-
2-0 loss. Lets concentrate on the league now
-
Kendrick also tweeted that people shouldn't read too much into the fact that Vlaar's doing the press thing tomorrow. Shame, I like reading too much into things
-
@MatKendrick: Wouldn't read too much into Vlaar doing the presser. Probably because the manager doesn't particularly fancy facing questions right now...
I'm sure he doesn't
-
larf. Lambert's rapidly losing the plot if he's hiding from the press.
-
ooooooh. Interesting... is lamb for the chop?
no chance.
-
Vlaar has got the speech ready:
Gaan we weer.
You can guess what this translates to.
-
Fuck it here's a team for the game
Given - Lichaj - Vlaar -Dunne - Bennet
Delph -Ireland - Bannan
Carrauthers - Bent - Nzogbia

Given at right back is never gonna work or is he rush goalie? ;D
-
I'd play the entire reserve/youth team. Then lock the first team in the training ground and constantly work on defending and set plays

Derrick can do a job there if that's what you're worried about.
-
I actually think it will be "after the horse has bolted syndrome" and we'll win easily.
Also... meh!
-
One thing is for certain win, lose or draw after the game we will hear "We go again"
-
Just don't see how this manager and this team will ever win another football match.
we won last night didn't we?
-

-
Good chance to see how we will do away in the championship next season.
-
home win, past caring
-
Johnny mate, I just can't believe you. I have a fair idea how you're feeling, just like the rest of us but, I'm pretty sure that come Friday you'll still be looking to see how we're getting on and hoping it's for the better. It's in the blood lad, you just have to accept it and keep the bright side out. That goes for us all. :)
-
Just don't see how this manager and this team will ever win another football match.

Yes but no more fixtures against League 2 sides in prospect.
-

Same as , thinking of giving the game a miss as well, it will take a while to get any passion for football back after last night .
-
The reason why the game has been put forward to Friday night is that there is a protest against the closure of Lewisham Hospital happening on the Saturday afternoon.
I cannot honestly say I've ever been happier to see a Villa game moved.
Going to try to get to both.
Where is everyone meeting before and after for the game. Is there an away fans pub in the area?
-
All of us on here will be willing them on come Friday, it's what we do and it's not something you can switch on and off.
Yes we moan, yes we declare we hate them (I stated last night quite categorically that I'm finished with them), but ultimately come match day we'll all be rooting for the claret and blue.

Sums it up perfectly for me.
-
My main prediction is that Millwall's corner count will be spookily similar to their goals count.

You can never want the boys to lose a game, it just isn't right but if we win or lose this one it doesn't matter one bit.
The real game is back at the Park next Tuesday.
-
Has anyone ever tried, for 5 minutes to support a different team. It is physically impossible. I don't know how people do it. I get about 15 seconds in before thinking about the Villa again!
Anyhow...
Friday.
Guzan in nets, no fecking about with the line hogger
Lichaj - Lowton needs a rest
Dunne - 90 minutes before Newcastle would be useful
Vlaar - Needs fitness too
Clark - run out at left back as an experiment.
Holman - right mid, giving width.
Westwood - Should be fresh
Johnson - Delph is carrying a knock, and Bannan is at best shiny gold shite at the moment
Bennett - the kid is a left winger in the making, best crosser at the club and can beat a man
Bent - 90 minutes will do him good
Weimann - For obvious reasons - he scores goals and is a good player
Benteke, Gabby, Delph, Lowton, NZogbia, Given, Williams on the bench, but hopefully sparsely used. Win would be nice, but getting the others to Newcastle rested more important for me.

After all they don't like you feeding the animals in the zoo
-
I'll be approaching the game from the south of London (Streatham). So anyone passing through East Dulwich I'll be with a mate in the pub opposite the station. Then a couple of stops to South Bermondsey about 7pm.

Wouldn't want to go there....last night I was the only Villa one whilst the rest were 'Bradford' supporters.....and my wife noticed that they were all drinking tea or coffee

I'd have thought that the debacle at Wolves would have put an end to that experiment.

Got to agree, he got murdered by Micheal Kightley in that first half.

My chanting of "There's only one Rickie Lambert" before the Southampton game did get me a few funny looks

Does anybody north of the border know if I can see the match on TV?
I'm spending the weekend in Glasgow.
There again I'll have more fun in the hotel bar and keep in touch via mobile.
-
Oh God we play again in 2 days.
I have no stamina left - I'm flagging people - all hope is gone...

Pick yourself up and go again.

Like many others, I can hardly be bothered to give a shit about this.
My local Bookie in town puts it's favoured bet in the window. Today it was "Aston Villa to beat Millwall 2-1. A Ł10 bet wins a Ł100!"
The saddest part of it is that they'll probably not get many takers! Who'd put money on Villa winning? >:(

In my waters, I knew in advance that the 4th division team would score and win last night. Now, they tell me that Villa will win the FA Cup for the first time in 56 years and stay in the FAPL by one point. Optimism is stupid, inconquerable shit, innit?
-
Has anyone ever tried, for 5 minutes to support a different team. It is physically impossible. I don't know how people do it. I get about 15 seconds in before thinking about the Villa again!
I do genuinely support another team as well. Unfortunately for me, the other team is Bristol Rovers :'(
I supported QPR when I was married to an R's fan. I was a genuine fan as well, although Villa remained closest to my heart and I always rooted for them when the two teams met.

Any chance that she left you because you were insincere...?
-
Lucky this game is on my doorstep or I probably wouldn't be motivated to make the effort to go. I think we'll win for what it is worth.
-
1-1 benteke for us
-
Does anybody north of the border know if I can see the match on TV?
I'm spending the weekend in Glasgow.
There again I'll have more fun in the hotel bar and keep in touch via mobile.
As far as i know nobody is showing it.
Just checked Liveonsat and nobody is picking this game up. Very odd.
-
Can you blame them?
-
I must be a sucker for punishment for going to this one, but i think we will get a 1-1 draw. They will score from a corner.
I would like to see Bent and Andy W up front for this one.
-
Can you blame them?
No. Not at all.
-
Getting to the point where I really couldn't give two hoots what happens on Friday, It's not like we're going to win the thing so what's the point?

Millwall are a very decent team. I think it could be a big loss and further humiliation.
4-0 home win.
-
Bloody hell am i the only one who gives us a chance? We will do this lot I tells ya. 2-0.

We must be the bookies nightmare. I'm sure next time we win they will hold a stewards enquiry as it must be a betting scam.

I dont see the players bouncing back. Last night shocked me a bit as it dawned on me how little they actually care.

2-0 defeat and we go again
Given - Lowton Bennett Vlaar Dunne - Westwood Bannan Holman - N'Zogbia Bent Weimann
-
We will not lose. Absolutely definitely will not lose.
-
Warnock, Dunne, Vlaar and Hutton to play has been suggested by someone earlier. This is the game for that but I am sure there are reasons, valid or otherwise, why this will not happen.
The atmosphere is set to be electric. Snap your tickets up now to be a part of it.

Spent all day sulking but I've picked myself up and am ready to go again.
Anyone who suggests we should throw this or not give it our best shot can f*** off.
The ONLY way the players can make up for last night to us and themselves is by getting the famous name of ASTON VILLA back on this trophy in May.

Does anyone know of a decent (and safe) watering hole for away fans?

Not anywhere near the ground.

2-1 to Villa. It's our year this year, honest!

Latest press articles suggest FA Cup not important onus on league now so I expect us to send a bunch of kids out.

London Bridge area has been suggested or Borough Market. Will be busy around both as its Friday night.

with 2 matches in 4 days dare say no practising with corners or deadball situations will have been carried out come Friday?

Is this game on TV? Puzzled by the friday night kick off if it's not.

I'll give that a go then, it's bad enough having to watch them at all but to watch them sober, that might be a step too far.

@TimothyAbraham: Change of plan at Bodymoor Heath. Ron Vlaar has been stood down and the manager will take today's press conference after all. #AVFC
Great! So the small hope that he might be busy doing transfer business is out the window instead he's going to sit there saying how we can't afford to buy anybody like he does every frigging week
-

On past performance, wouldn't make any difference anyway
-
Same old guff from Lambert at the press conference, must stick together yayayaya.......... nobody hurting more than me.....
I think the fans might be Paul, as they care more about Villa and have more loyalty than you
-
I feel as if Aston Villa has taken me hostage.

That's a shame. I was looking forward to a press conference without the word 'fine' being used about 100 times.

Anyone know roughly how many we've sold?

How do I take delivery of a ticket if I buy one now but am in London?

STNK. She will probably tell you that it will be at the Millwall Ticket Office for collection on match day.
-

You will be able to buy one from the Millwall ticket office on match day. They have 200 availiable I believe. Take cash as they might not accept card apparently.
-
I'd read somewhere we had sold around 1300?
-
I'd read somewhere we had sold around 1300?
On Tuesday, a Millwall steward told me we had sold nearer to 1k (rather then than 2k). So that is probably about right.
-
@WMPVillaFC are still waiting on the ticket info. Alcohol is available in the ground.

Tuesday, a Millwall steward told me we had sold nearer to 1k (rather then than 2k). So that is probably about right.
A quick poll at half-time on Tuesday of the regular away-goers around me, revealed that none of us are going. Therefore, only taking around 1000 is no surprise.
Why couldn't the game be played on Sunday ?

It might have to be if the weather forecast is anywhere near accurate!
-
If I finish work at a reasonable time, I will go (it's on my way home). But on Fridays that never happens.
We ought to win. But I am sick of saying that.
-
Looks like he won't be playing a weakened side ( If we have such a thing)
@IvanGaskell1: #avfc Paul Lambert has confirmed he has "no option" but to take more or less unchanged squad to #millwall & out of respect for #facup & fans
-
I'm worried, they are a decent side and will be up for it
-
Haha I laughed at that , who else could be play other than the Under 21 team.Our squad is woefully small
-
Couldnt give a toss right now to be honest.
That.

Newcastle at home on the Tuesday.
Millwall are much weaker without Chris Wood - banging in the goals for Leicester.
-

That.
I can't remember ever caring less about a result than I am about this game. Not because I have stopped caring, just because all I care about now is staying up.
-

I'd fancy any team against us at the moment,right down to the bottom of the conference. All teams have to do is win a corner. It's getting beyond embarrassing
-
I only just realised that we there are EPL games mid-week. Thought we had a week break until the Newcastle game. If PL doesn't play a weakened team at Millwall, then he has clearly lost the plot.

What is our "weakened" team ? Based on recent weeks, its probably basically the team that's been playing
However, assuming that we're not bothered about the result. How about..............
Given
Lihaj
Clark
Williams
Stevens
Carruthers
Bannan
Ireland
Johnson
Burke
Bent

That would do me. But I bet you any money that he starts Vlaar, Delph, Weimann and maybe N'Zogbia. All players who need to be rested for the Newcastle game.
-
Any team we pick is a weakened team.
-
Weakened = Stephens/ Lichaj/ Carruthers/ Bannan/ Holman/ Ireland/ Bent, right?
-
I'm taking my boots with me. If our team gets any weaker I reckon I'll get a game.
-
Would like to see Bowery start
-
@WMPVillaFC are saying we've sold 1600
-
It saddens me that the club is being run so badly now that I don't care about this game. I never thought I'd feel that about the FA Cup. I just want us to get on the with league games so we can face our fate whatever it is.
-
Those 1600 deserve medals. Fair play to them.
-

Might be a good shout, they'd probably be a lot more up for it.

I live in London so don't have an excuse. I'll give my medal to someone else.
-
I'm looking forward to in an odd way. Especially as I'm sat with my Millwall mates in their end.
-
I am going on a pub crawl along the river with a group of serious drinkers I used to work with near Blackfriars Bridge.
Would not be at all surprised if we get ensconced in The Anchor and not bother setting sail for Sarf Berminsea.
-
I'm going for a Villa win
Interesting stat - Millwall's heaviest ever defeat was 9-1. Against Villa. In The Cup

This is the first season ever that I haven't really given a toss about the cups. I said the same before we faced Citeh in the LC. Obviously I did start to care once we reached the Semis but realised early on that this season is all about the league.
-

It wouldn't come as any surprise if they reversed that scoreline. I'd back any team in the top 5 divisions to beat Villa at the moment. I reckon we must be the worst team in professional football.
-
I know its hard to be positive at the moment but can we all try and make as much noise as possible tomorrow, their fans will be well up for it and will create a cracking atmosphere, we cant be out sung by 10,000 home fans.
Maybe a 45 minute rendition of Claret and Blue Army.
-
Could actually be a blessing for us , no TV coverage and only 1000 fans going so really no pressure maybe the players will perform better.
-
Can't believe I'm saying this about playing Millwall, but I'm afraid this will be painful. 2-0 defeat.
-
I genuinely don't believe that any Villa fans don't care about this game. You may not now but come kick-off tomorrow I'm sure you'll be willing them on.
-

I'd clean forgotten about him

Bollocks to them, quite frankly. Win and it's one more game that we could do without. Lose and it's another sad humiliation.
-
All round improvement for this one than of late.
So just a 1-0 loss.

Of course, I couldn't agree more.
That said wouldn't it be nice to win both? Reading this thread some people appear to think not.
-
I'd love to win both. Just can't see it happening.
-
4-0 defeat.
-
I can see us drawing...and losing the replay at home.
-
I think this one has "were you there?" Charlton '87 style potential.
-
4-0 defeat.
If we do indeed lose 4-0 ( or worse) then something has to give.I really have had enough of these public humiliations.This mess we find ourselves in is worse than anything under Doug.I'm sorry it boils down to motivation, a basic requirement for a manager,if Lambert produces another surrender in this game,how on earth can we win a relegation battle?

My son's doing the same. Millwall end with a Millwall supporting mate. Tried to talk him out of it.

There used to be the Golden Lion (now flats) the Barnaby (closed) the Bramcote Arms (good place to buy a shooter) and the Canterbury Arms (now an African restaurant). There aren't really any pubs near the ground. It's no loss, they were all shite. The Shipwrights Arms by London bridge used to be a proper hard core gay pub. It's not any more.

Millwall 1 - 2 Villa is my prediction. Hardly any pressure on us now as no- one seems to give a fuck about this match after Bradford, or expects us to win it.
-
Those 1600 deserve medals. Fair play to them.
Yes.

Yes.
Indeed they do, I hope they voice their anger about Lerner but then again he won't be listening or caring.
-
Those 1600 deserve medals. Fair play to them.
Not sure I deserve a medal considering I will just be taking the 21 bus straight from my house. Then again, I am having to venture south of the river, so maybe I do?

We don't deserve a medal but probably need our heads examined.
Anyway, I'm going for us to win 2-1 but I think it'll be a nail bitting finish (nothing new there).
-
Anyone thinks this game is going to fly under the radar is mistaken.Every bugger is talking about it.
-
6-0 Millwall.
Remember, we are on a 2 match unbeaten run.
Can see it stretching to 3 but only if we manage to avoid ANY BLOODY CORNERS!
Worst part is, for the first time since the 1980's, I don't even care
-
I'm going for a 1-1 draw.

Lets see, we will play them off the park in the first half and go in at half time leading 1-0 having missed a hatful of chances. We will come out in the second half and do what we always do,sit back and let Millwall back in .One of full backs will concede a needless corner and well you know the rest. 1-1 and a replay
-
Which would mean the Newcastle game being moved, giving them more time to settle in their recent purchases.
Ace!

There was a club upstairs called 'The Anvil' which was notoriously, erm, notorious. A friend of mine alleged he had seen a niche activity called 'surgery'. The exact details of which still make me feel a bit sick.

I think the Villa will win and balls to the defeatists.

-
Does anyone know the price of tickets for this one?
Apparently, they are selling tickets on the away turnstile.
Really? I heard you have to get them from the main ticket office.
I was told by the ticket office that it's a cash turnstile but there's only 200 tickets available so i'm not sure how that will work.
I heard also about the 200 tickets but when I phoned Millwall the woman said you have to get them from the ticket office.

I know there is no TV coverage as such but can anyone confirm whether the FA are streaming it live on their website? I had a look earlier but its a land of confusion.

Not heard anything about this - it wont be hard to find elsewhere however.

A clean sheet is all I ask tonight. That's All.
-
We'll go and win this, clean sheet, goal from midfield into the bargain. All shall be right with the world. Millwall 0, Us 3. Gabby, Bent, Westwood free kick.
Then massively twat it up on Tuesday
-
I think theres something in the air tonight and we'll win .Or not .
-
Is there any consensus on where is everyone is drinking before the game? I work at London Bridge so was going to go to the Barrow boy and banker next to the train station.
My heart says a Villa win however head says something rather different

No time for any more Genesis puns from me.
Supper's ready.

I've just heard Jackett on the radio saying we have to 'be respectful' to this Villa side
Who is the Premiership side here?

FirstRow normally stream all games but haven't got ours tonight, just under 21 games
-
Every game is a must win game these days, but I think this is a must win game (or at least don't lose). The meeja are creaming themselves at the spectacle of our death and every nail in the coffin is greated with relish. They want us to lose this one and they want Newcastle to beat us on Tuesday and keep asking Lambert when he's going to get sacked over and over again.

This. Word for word how I feel. The only thing keeping me remotely interested in it is that it will be my first time at the Den.

This match seems the most low key Villa game for absolutely ages.
Given all the other bilge going on re transfers, Bradford, relegation etc, this one seems to have slipped under the radar.
A comfortable win, please, let's get a bit of confidence back. We saw some swagger in the first half at Albion, and despite going out, we looked totally in control for the first half on Tuesday.
We just ("just") need to do it for closer to 90 mins rather than 45.

Indeed we need as much as we can get before Newcastle.

Id be inclined to use stevens at left back and bennett left midfield tonight .

If Villa lose I am going to leave the country.
I will have 'surgery' if we lose.

Time to slump down in your chair and look bored....It's Lawro time.
Millwall will be rubbing their hands because this is a good time to play Aston Villa on the back of their exit to League Two side Bradford in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday.
A trip to The Den is not what Villa boss Paul Lambert needs after his side's Capital One Cup exit
Villa's confidence will be low and they are conceding goals all over the place. It is only going to get worse for them at The Den too and I am going for a Millwall win.
I was at Villa Park this week to see Paul Lambert's side play the Bantams. Everyone is making a big deal about his young players but he has got experience in that side.
And, in all honesty, people like Charles N'Zogbia, Gabriel Agbonlahor, Stephen Ireland and, to a certain extent, Fabian Delph need to look at their performances. They are all on good money and are the Villa fans getting value for money from those four? Definitely not.
The other thing that I noticed with Villa is that they are very narrow. That is one of the reasons Bradford looked so comfortable in the second half at Villa, and that needs to be addressed.
Lawro's prediction: 2-1

Talking out of his arse there, Zog has been one of the brighter spots of the last few games.

`Surgery' involves having your scrotum slit, and your testicles popped out and sucked.
Are you still up for it?
-
Does anyone know the definite procedure for Villa fans wishing to go to the game tonight without a ticket?
Speaking to the Villa ticket office, 200 odd tickets will be available on the away turnstiles. However, some are saying that they are only available from the main ticket office? I don't know the ground or area at all. How far is the main ticket office from the away end?
I am a coward of the county and don't particularly fancy trawling from the sanctuary of the away end to the ticket office.

I know mate, it's not the best way to look at things but I'm just so worn out with Villa at the min, I would rather concentrate on the league than on the F.A cup...
-
There are some good pubs at new cross. The one right over the road from the station that serves the wychwood brewery beers is ok. The rose of lee on new cross way was also ok when I lived there a few years back. New cross is a bit of a student area with goldsmiths uni right there too. Some days you could be in that area and not even know a game would be on for Millwall as they get such small crowds. The new cross Venue for a dodgy tribute band later on. I've seen no way sis and beat surrender (jam) there before.

3-0 Villa, everyone else and these cockney mugs can go and fuck themselves.
It's our year, out of the darkest day will come the dawn etc.
-
I think it'll be about 0-8
-
As much as I hate saying this about the FA Cup, suspect this one falls down to the bottom of the list of priorities now and may be used as an opportunity to do what small amounts of squad rotation we can - Benteke, N'Zogbia, Delph perhaps.
We'll then go and nick it 1-0 because it is most definitely, without doubt, our year.
-
3-0 home win.
-
3-0 Villa, everyone else and these cockney mugs can go and fuck themselves.
admire your optimism but think you'll find we're playing millwall not west ham.
apologies for pedantry but isn't calling a london person a cockney when they're not from east london like calling a yam yam a brummy?

Of course, but we do have similar quality in reserve, Bent or Weimann in for Benteke, Holman in for N'Zogbia and Westwood in for Delph does not particularly weaken us imo, neither would bringing in Lichaj and Stevens for Lowton and Bennett.
1 nil, Bannan.
-
Agreed. Hope he starts Bent to see if we can get him firing again.

I went down to the ground just after lunch and bought my ticket at the office.
The lady said the remaining away allocation wouldn't be sold until from 6.30 pm onwards this evening but she liked my smile so let me buy it there and then.

Sooner or later, we have to manage two consecutive decent halves. Tonight, please.

Except Millwall is on the Ilse of Dogs, an East end borough. They just play in New Cross. You could try telling a Millwall fan they're not a cockney if you like...

my ignorance is shown in all it's glory once again. thanks for the tip and no i don't believe it'd be prudent to challenge one of their number as regards their ethnicity, they'd start a fight if you asked them the time

Millwall's odds are drifting, for what it's worth.

Win or more embarrassment.

Good sir, the sensebilities of our friends from that there London are at very end of my long list of concerns.
-
Oi geeza I live in that Lundun. But about Cockney's you cud be roight mite. Cockney's are old Irish who have forgotten the rest. Londoners in general are cold fish. Millwall are hated by Cockney's even..strange inbred breed down there..old Scots shipped in by the Dutch when teh Jacobins planned to invade and recliam the throne stolen by the Germans, and were then abandoned by Bonnie Prince Charlie when the money ran out! Still living in Gin Alley of the Hogarth era down there.
Enjoy. I may watch in pub in Hoxton..'Oxtan to you mate! 'Youm am not frum round here are ya?'
-
if we lose it will be more embaressment and more on line bashing for the club owner and manager
if we win it wont mean much as the 'league' is now our only priority
-
The coach journey was a bit of a 'mare so only managing a short time in the pub, the Cockpit, St Paul's. grrrrrr

Can someone message me with sites for match please.

Anyone tuned in around London Bridge what pub are you in? We seem to have spent the last hour in the 1980s in a pub full of Yuppies. Dell Boy's just fell through the bar!

Though Millwall the area is in East London so you might get away with calling them cockneys.
Would appreciate a pm with any links as well..

It's not being broadcast in any country, there won't be a stream.
If only they hadn't shut down teletext.

so why is it on a friday night
-
because of some sort of anti NHS closure protest clash wasn't it
-
so why is it on a friday night
To ruin ALL of saturday for us, not just 4.45 onwards, plus sunday.
-
What about FA.com website? didnt they start streaming FA cup games in the last few years?
or it may have been due to Setanta going bankrupt?

Is this one sold out? I could get across there just in time for kick off if I can pay on the door

There are supposedly some tickets available for away fans at the ground.

So no tv, is Talkshite covering it?

Right, this will be the first game I take no interest in in decades. They've fucked me off so much that, for tonight at least, I really couldn't give a shit.
I'm only going next Tuesday because I have a ST, otherwise there's no way I would bother.
-
Given, Vlaar [c], Clark, Bent, Lowton, Westwood, Delph, N’Zogbia, Weimann, Bennett., Lichaj.
subs: Guzan, Ireland, Agbonlahor, Holman, Bowery, Bannan, Williams.
-
do you think lichaj may be at lb?
-
Milwall have a few attacking options.. I think there is scope for more optimism. I also like the fact we have shown we are capable scoring away and depending on who starts there are a few anytime scorers for villa which could at least bring some cheer despite our current plight! I like wee man anytime @ 7/4 :).
Also fancy 2-1 to us.
-
I'm finding it very difficult to muster much enthusiasm for this game. Tempted to just watch a film and check in now and again to see how (badly) we're doing.
Prove me wrong lads!

Benteke not even on the bench. Someone's feeling confident.

i believe they have live comentary of our match tonight

Who knows - could be 4 - 0 - 6 like we ended on Tuesday. I wouldn't put anything past this tactical genius.

Been hoping to see bennett in left midfield for a while , interesting if he is.
-
I too was thinking Bennett left mid.

Villa make four changes to their side which faces Millwall this evening.
Ashley Westwood replaces Stephen Ireland, Eric Lichaj comes in for Barry Bannan, Darren Bent replaces Gabby Agbonlahor while Andreas Weimann comes in for Christian Benteke.
VILLA: Given, Vlaar [c], Clark, Bent, Lowton, Westwood, Delph, N’Zogbia, Weimann, Bennett., Lichaj. Subs: Guzan, Ireland, Agbonlahor, Holman, Bowery, Bannan, Williams.
MILLWALL: Forde, Shittu [c], Trotter, Marquis, Henry, Feeney, Beevers, Keogh, Abdou, A Smith, Osborne. Subs: Taylor, Dunne, Wright, Batt, J Smith, N’Guessan, Wilkinson.
-
My guess would be 3-5-2 with lowton as the right centre back and lichaj and bennett as wing backs. Ffs please bounce back tonight villa...
-
Villa Win 3-0.
I'm doing the, 'Believe 6 impossible things before breakfast'. And the next breakfast is Saturday! So win-win!*
Come on Villa, we can do it. We won on tuesday. Just carry on!
Glad to see young Bennett in the side, he's a little tall cracker! Equally glad to see Andi W is starting, we need goals and he gets 'em. Westwood is back, so we have a midfield. The whole team are welcome to go do that voodoo that they do so well...UTV!
Cheering you on at my radio tonight.
*impossible according to everybody including the media except those of us on here who voted 'win'.
-
We're not on tele, am not really bothered about result so will probably win handsomely
-
I was 100% going to go to this until it moved to a Friday and I've been flipping between "I'm going" and "I'm staying in the warm" ever since. I'm in the warm, therefore we'll win well and it'll be a classic game that those who were there will talk about for the next 10 years. 5-0 Villa :)
-
I see Shittu is playing for Millwall.
Brings to mind the QPR chant when we played them some years ago in a League Cup game.
'Chimm Chimmery Chimm Chimmery Chimm Chimm Charoo, who needs Sol Campbelll when we've got Shittu.'
