Anyone really rubbish away, please.
-
Really rubbish away?
A trip to B9 it is then.
-
Anyone from the top 4 away, so a win would be amazing but a defeat won't mean another notch on Lambert's bedpost of shame.
-
Someone else crap at home please in an untelevised Saturday 3pm game.
24 January .
-
Rochdale away please... New ground.

I've been there. I saw Cyril Smith on the way to the ground.

Sounds like the opening line of a court case
-
Wolves (or Fulham) Away.
-
Man U away it is then
-
Derby County at home.
-
I'm not lond after a pint of Pale Rider so Sheffield United away is my predictable preference.

And there's all those beers you haven't tried yet.

I woke up this morning with the feeling that if we won today our "reward" will be SHA at Villa Park. I don't want it to happen, but the feeling wont go away.
Bolton away just to see the Tumbling Bear in action again would be okay.
-
Chelsea away. After narrowly scraping past Blackpool at home, I just want us to be out of the cup.

I don't.

If that's what you think I'm sure there's a Small Heath forum where you'd feel at home.

I'd like a premiership team less up for it than we are.
I don't want a lower division side looking for a scalp. 'The Magic of the Cup' my arse.

Why ? A cup run could ignite the whole season!

The only thing that can ignite this season is Lambert fucking off.

That's not what I said. I always want Villa to win, but at least if we got Chelsea away we'd be spared of another embarrassment.

Ha yes they would've been first choice.
I reckon we could give Sunderland, Palace or Leicester a right cupsetting though.

THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT. Ugh, this is why I hate posting on here sometimes. Annoying when I feel like I have to explain myself as if I'm on trial or something.
What I meant is that it'd be better to go out with a bit of dignity (losing to Chelsea away), rather than going out in an embarrassing manner (losing to someone like Preston at home). I'd love us to win a cup, but today's performance has just confirmed what I've thought for a while - we're never gonna win a cup with Lambert here.

Hope your bike has a reverse engine because you're not going to be able back pedal fast enough out of this one. You've been rumbled son

I think he said he'd rather us go out of the cup against a good team than a shit one. It's less embarrassing. Assuming we do go out of the cup just like every other year since 1957.
-

We can't play ourselves
Can we?
-

He said he wanted us out of the cup however anyone tries to dress it up.

Of course I don't want us to lose. I doubt there's a Villa fan out there who actually wants us to lose a game.

You just said you did. Make your mind up man.
-
Some people don't like it when we score either.
-
Cambridge United, Scunthorpe United, Rochdale, Chesterfield or Middlesbrough away would be ace.
We are ball 11.

You can shout as much as you like. Stamp your feet as well if it helps. But you are never gong to alter the fact that you said "I just want us to be out of the cup."
-
At present I don't know if an away tie at a Premier League team in deeper shit than us wouldn't be the best option. They'd be more likely to rest half their first team for the next league game, our counter-attacking (for wont of a better description) style of play is better suited to playing away, and our away support is more vociferous than the currently morgue-like Villa Park. On that basis, Leicester, Palace or Sunderland.
-
Just another boring easy game please. It would be great to reach the 5th round below the radar. Then the 6th etc
-
I want our dear neighbours, home or away. We need some excitement and I think it'd do a few of our players good to play in a game where passion and desire will be as important as ability.
-

I wouldn't want to play them with this team. They'd probably beat us and we'd never hear the end of it.
-
I just get a nasty feeling we'll get Blues. I hope I'm wrong because regardless of the result they'll claim a moral victory. No thanks.

Just need to say here that I have seen Preston several times this season, and they have about 100 times more organisation and attacking intent than us. They lost their top striker the same week we had Callum Robinson back, & it made no difference because there are goals all over their team.
I always think I'd like us to draw them in a cup, but come to think of it, it'd be a disaster for me right now!

It was probably just a heat of the moment thing. Big deal. No point in beating him up over it.

Completely agree with that. A game like that would do way more harm than the potential benefits.

Me neither. Nothing to gain at all from it.

I'm pretty sure that nobody is beating anybody up.
-
When's the draw then?
-
Tomorrow evening.
-
Sheffield United would be another recipe for disaster. But a perfect set up for a decent session with a wander home; and a row with the wife.
-
I'm not lond after a pint of Pale Rider so Sheffield United away is my predictable preference.
And there's all those beers you haven't tried yet.
Another trip to the Fat Cat? Yes please.
-

Nah, it's the classic win-win surely. As much as you would hate to see Villa knocked out you would still have that little bit of you that cheered on a Preston win.
There are many on here who will say you just cannot support two teams, I say you can, if you want, it's a free country and there are no rules!
-
I have a feeling we'll get drawn with Bournemouth
-
I scribbled down all the teams in the hat. I have only just realised the way I wrote it out in two columns looks like cup draw. If we are drawn away to Stoke it will be quite spooky. If I do have a gift I wasn't aware of look out for chelsea v Arsenal and potentially Spurs v Liverpool.

I think it's a very serious matter indeed and deserving of a full trial. How dare he say something in the heat of the moment? It's about time people took their posting duties more seriously
-
Somebody wanted Cambridge United away. I saw Cam U beat Luton on Saturday and Villa beat Blackpool on Sunday. Villa would struggle in my opinion.
-
Cambridge away would be an A14 nightmare journey from hell. No thanks .
-

The A14 is fine at the weekends just completely broken weekday mornings and evenings Cambridge<->Huntingdon.
It's normally an hour and forty minutes from here to Villa Park - it's not like getting to Norwich ...
My lad and I would love to see Villa play at the Abbey Stadium though I share Brian's concerns that we might struggle.
I'd never live it down round here if we lost to them ... Yeah, you're right - No Thanks!
-
Que Norwich or Ipswich away now you watch.
-
To beat the winner out of the Millwall v Bradford game would be a good way of exorcising the ghost.
-
Actually if we can't have an easy home tie could we have Fulham away please.
-
We never win at Fulham.
-
Que Norwich or Ipswich away now you watch.
Norwich were knocked out on Saturday.
-

Oh sorry thought they were through.
-
I don't want us to play Blues, we don't need to play them.
-
Rochdale away please... New ground.
I've been there. I saw Cyril Smith on the way to the ground.
Also been there. Went to watch them play Shrewsbury randomly in a box with work.
-
Preston away please. New ground for me, and easy to get too from Manchester.
-
I don't want us to play Blues, we don't need to play them.
Right now I can't see any other quick fix to pumping some much needed life into the club other than Lambert being sacked. Obviously I'd prefer the latter but a home game against the Rags would see a full Villa Park (assuming the Knuckledraggers could sell their lot), everybody up for it and a real buzz around the place.
The alternative is we go again against some other team, a trip to Stoke or a home game against Ipswich or Southampton, it's all very meh with Paul Lambert's Villa. Right now I can honestly say I've never been so bored with the Villa. We need something to wake us all up from this mind numbing season. That's how far we've fallen.

Amen, brother.
-
Honestly struggling to think of anything worse than SHA at home in the next round.
Smethwick I could accept , home or away or Wolves (are they still in ?).
-
Wolves have a replay against Fulham.
-
I am actually looking forward to the draw. I would like it to be away at somebody really twee that even our pondering about would be too good for, but I cannot help but think that we will get a nasty away draw.
Nasty in the sense that the police get out their plastic hats as they did in Lambert's first foray into the 4th round with us, rather than nasty in a we've got Man United or Chelsea away.
Ball number 10 and ball number 11, for example. I can see it coming.
-

Who was that against then ?

Millwall. Bloody freezing cold on a Friday night, locked in for half an hour afterwards. Shocker
-
Ah yes of course, the night CNZ got bottled . Didn't go , I would of if it had been the Saturday but no way Friday night in South London.
-
Interestingly, if we got the Noses at home, then they'd have 6,000, which would equate to 115 coaches they would bring to Villa Park, which with a stopping distance of say 6 metres and an average coach length of 12 metres, would leave a convoy length of well over a mile.
-
I doubt they'd be given that many. We weren't given a quarter of the ground when we went there in the League Cup.
-
We had 15% for the quarter final, just shy of 4000, then only 1800 ish for the league game because we wrecked the joint.
They had rows of rent-a-loos and had literally boarded up the toilets and didn't open the refreshment stalls. Very 1980s.
-
At least we'd get the North Stand redeveloped sooner.
-
I wouldn't want to play them at home. I don't fancy playing anybody at home. If its going to be a Sheffield United, we're more likely to beat them away.
-
I've arrived in a parallel universe where Villa fans are talking about the FA Cup 4th round draw at this time of year rather than the usual bemoaning of another year going by without an FA Cup win.
Number 10 or 19 at home please Bob.
-
I feel physically sick.
-
1. Arsenal
2. Southampton or Ipswich Town
3. Stoke City
4. Blackburn Rovers
5. Crystal Palace
6. AFC Wimbledon or Liverpool
7. Manchester City
8. Rochdale
9. West Bromwich Albion
10. Birmingham City
11. Aston Villa
12. AFC Bournemouth
13. Reading
14. Swansea City

31. Preston North End
32. Doncaster Rovers or Bristol City
-
Got a bad feeling about this draw.
-
Any of these away - Brighton, Bournemouth, Preston, Rochdale, Scunthorpe, Cambridge or Chesterfield.
Man Utd is is then.
-
6000 of us at Yanited would be a fun day if nothing else
-

It would be exactly that. Nothing else!
-
Prediction - we'll get Small Heath.
-
Anyone shit who have no confidence please.
Here's a conundrum. What if we won the cup under Lambert, all 1-0's, terrible football, terrible games. Would you still want him kept on? I'd bloody love him :D
-
Winning something??? Bloody hell, that would be nice.
Is it wrong of me to worry about relegation if we got to the final in a Cup? Just worried that clubs like ours (i.e.: most of the league) can't really fight on two fronts at once.
-
Anyone away...i really don't fancy anyone at home..even Rochdale.

That's rubbish. Premier League clubs such as Villa, with no European commitments and out of the League Cup at an early stage, play far fewer games (and on far better playing surfaces) than is actually good for us, with or without a few games in the FA Cup.
-
As always, hoping for a relatively straightforward, under the radar home draw. But it'll be the Noses away.
-
Prediction - we'll get Small Heath.
I think so too. Just a hunch based on nothing much. But 1 in 32 chance and the odds aren't that wild.
On the bright side I have just found a statistic worse than our goal scoring record.
-
Why are we Ball 11? Is there any logic to the numbering? I liked it when we were a big No.2....oh, hang on.... I mean Ball no.2.... I guess be still are in binary.
Brighton Away Please.

I think the 11 represents our league goals this season doesn't it?
-
By coincidence 11 is my lucky number. The omens are good!
-
Rochdale home would be my choice. I have a feeling it's going to be a horrible draw though.

Statue , stand named after him. Let's face it if anyone can win the FA cup for us they are a legend and we can all put our feet up and retire .
-
Rochdale home would be my choice. I have a feeling it's going to be a horrible draw though.
That's pretty much what I feel.
I suspect it's going to be Liverpool or arsenal or Man Ci£y away.
Chelsea will get Rochdale at home
-
Chelsea away I think

Ball number two is cursed. Since AFC Bournemouth got promoted we've become ball three in the FA Cup third round, and got better draws.
We are ball eleven here as we won the eleventh tie to be drawn out in the last round. Should be we be drawn to play in the seventh game this time, and win again, we'll be ball number seven in the Fifth Round draw and so on.
-
Actually come to think of it ball two can't be cursed cos Arsenal won it last year!
-

But they would only have been number 2 in the 3rd round definitely
-
I reckon we'll get Leicester at home.
-
I think it'll be 10 v 11.
-
Presumably this draw happens after the Liverpool match?

I think it's before but i'm not sure.

Before as far as I know.
-
Right before, I think. 7.33pm on BBC2 and the Liverpool game has a KO of 7.45.

Truly bizarre

No different to the 2 ties played tomorrow will know who they are drawn against. And you could say that everyone in a replay will as well.

True.
Still no idea why the 3rd round ties have been spread over a 5 day span
-
I bet the bastards will fix it for an impossible draw for us. A League 2 club at home or something.
-
Chelsea Millwall
-
Villa are ball 11.
-
small heath vs Albion
-
home to Bournemouth
-
Blues Albion
-
Tough one
-

Saying that I'd rather have a mid range Premier League opposition rather than the above.
-
Bugger
-
They will beat us, they look a good side from what I've seen
-
Here we go! Not so bad.
-
I have a Bournemouth fan colleague. We must go.
-
AFC Bournemouth
-
That's us gone
-
Not ideal, but could have been worse.
Nailed on to be a TV pick.
-
Oh.
-
That has nightmare written all over it !!!!
-
They will beat us, they look a good side from what I've seen
No they won't. No way they will score against us
-
At home to a lower league side. Normally i;d be delighted by they are flying. We'll be in round 5 though.
-
Ooooh. Good draw, that.
It'll be nice to see the dogshitters and the stripeyfilth tell each other how much they hate us, too.
-
Well we have had a good cup run.
-
So close to getting Blues away. Bournemouth are a good side, will be a tough game if we don't start scoring goals.
-
By the way I really like the way the draw was done. Very amateur like and touching having those fans in there. Very good.
-
How many goals have they scored this season....approaching 60 ?
-
Well at least Ted McDougall wont be playing!
-
At least we'll see some goals, finally.
-
Tricky draw, they are a decent team.
Hey ho, we go again.
-
Not ideal, but could have been worse.
Nailed on to be a TV pick.
Got to fancy Cambridge/Manure and small heath/WBA will be live. Brighton/Arse as well. And Rochdale/Stoke.
-
Even with this ass clown in charge we will surely progress past Bournemouth.
-
70 I believe
How many goals have they scored this season....approaching 60 ?
-
They won't risk their top players, and we won't risk our second string
-
Well at least Ted McDougall wont be playing!
Ahaa yes RM memories... however they have a Mac in McDonald who scores a lot! (I think)
-
So close!
-
Bournemouth will see this as a very winnable tie, they're miles better than Blackpool and could well be in the premier league next season.
We're going to have to be a lot better than recently to win this, still draw could've been a lot worse.
-
64 league goals plus a fair few in the cups for The Cherries so far this season.
-
They looked very much like a second division side against Liverpool. One ball away from a great draw, oh well.
-
If this was a game of bingo at my local social club it would have been called null and void - 4 consecutive numbers called - 10, 9, 11 and 12.
"Shake yer balls up!"

Can't imagine the telly being that bothered by blose v albion. Not really that intense is it. A big love in about how much they hate us.
Can see a big upset at Villa. Bournemouth will be concentrating on the league and Benteke will turn the magic on again. 5th round here we come
-
Not ideal, but could have been worse.
Nailed on to be a TV pick.
Got to fancy Cambridge/Manure and small heath/WBA will be live. Brighton/Arse as well. And Rochdale/Stoke.
Assuming that it's five matches again on normal TV (i.e not Wales), ManYoo will be a guarantee, as will Arsenal - I'd then say we're the next most likely. Ours is the one that most obviously screams 'upset' given Bournemouth's form and the fact that they are now becoming an interesting story.
I'd be really surprised if Blues/WBA were picked.
-
Maybe we're going all the way beating seaside towns. Fifth round will be Brighton I warrant.
-
Bournemouth will see this as a very winnable tie, they're miles better than Blackpool and could well be in the premier league next season.
We're going to have to be a lot better than recently to win this, still draw could've been a lot worse.
True, but they may be more focused on getting into the Premier League and the millions it would bring. With their relatively limited resources they may not relish a cup run.
Happy enough with the draw, we've had a lot worse in the past. The only downside is that the Sky 5 got easyish draws so will still be in it.
-
Eddie Howe has got his side playing well & scoring loads of goals something we are lacking ATM big style. If they turn us over it will be interesting to see if the booing gets louder !! A lot will depend on how we fare v Leicester and 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' before then of course. I would offer Howe the job there and then if the worst happens, (new up & coming manager and all that, his team are not top for nothing).....
-
Ominously Bournemouth have already beaten Blues, Wolves and Albion this season.
-
Chelsea v Milwall will be interesting... a day out for lots of lovable rogues.
-
Lochhead to get late winner.

Championship vs PL and a local derby. It's the kind of tie they normally love.

Years ago we used to fear getting drawn against manure again. Now we expect to go out to Bournemouth

1972 Villa 2 Bournemouth 1 Vowden and Andy Lochhead(in the air) in front of 48000 in the third division!!!
Its on You Tube. Watch and understand what the word atmosphere means.
Lambert should make sure our lot watch this. They might be inspired.
-
They are in the good habit of playing well and winning on a regular basis, will have the confidence of that and nothing to lose.
We play well every 7 or 8 games, and never for 90 minutes.
I see it as "a challenge".
I thought we'd beat Blackpool comfortably.
I know nothing.
UTV!

Liverpool /Bolton will be one.BBC following Stevie G's last season like a needy crack whore
-
Well, we should win. They're doing fantastically but are still a division below us, on a fraction of our wage bill and away. Nobody to blame but ourselves if we cock it up.
On the downside, virtually all the contenders have easy-looking draws and will be waiting for us in the next round even if we do go through.
Hopefully Small Heath will get the Sunday shift and we'll be on at 3pm on the Saturday.
-
Can we register Lochhead in time for the game ? There again what would Lambert want with a proven goal scorer..!!

They've beaten the pretenders and earned their right to play the kings.

Chelsea vs Millwall/Bradford will definitely be on TV.

Up and coming manager who, I imagine, would be mentioned as a replacement should Lambert ever depart. Will be interesting to see how they play and how we shape up against a championship team in form. Can't ask for more than home ties against lower teams so I shall try to be optimistic

Good news. According to their fixture list on the BBC, Bournemouth have to play Leeds at exactly the same time they play us! Hopefully they'll be over-stretched, running back and forth between Yorkshire and Birmingham all afternoon.

I'd take the same result now, thanks very much.

I sincerely hope all that laughing at the noses expense a few months ago doesn't bite us on the arse.
I actually think it'll be a great game. One that we can win. Hopefully.

Bournemouth will come to attack which as we know is perfect for us.
2-0 home win.

However loses, we win!
-
This has to be one of the most likely upsets in a while
It will probably suit us to play against a team that likes to attack
-
One thing's for sure, we need to find some attacking form before the end of January. The only real positives I would take are that it's a comparatively kind draw (no Sky Five, no Noses, no West Brazil) and even though it would be a 'giantkilling' should Bournemouth win, in a few months they'll be a Premier League side so it's not as if it's another Bradford.
-
Got a strong Bournemouth-supporting contingent in my family so this has gotten them all excited about coming up for it, good draw for us!

Just listen to that noise when Andy Lochhead got the winner. Sitting in my living room watching that again, I can still hear it as if it had just been scored. THAT, is what the Holte can be like.
I always thought that the goal Vowden scored was a typical Lochhead goal and, vice versa.

Nah Aftab, I was in my usual spot down the Witton End. I always remember what I consider to be the local Bournemouth rag photographer applauding McDougall's goal from his position behind the goal, (not that I blame him mind) and then making sure I looked at him behind the goal down the Witton in the second half when we got the winner. Shattered!
-
Thanks Leeg. Ive already watched it six times!
Just watched it yet again. Lump in throat - Watery eyes. I was sat in the old Witton Lane stand with my Dad. I was 14. I've posted this before but the Bournemouth Number 11 who crosses for Ted MacDougall is Tony Scott who played for us in the late 60's. He played in my first ever game v Sheff Wed in 1965. Two nil win with goals from Hateley and Woosnam I think. Both sadly no longer with us.

Do be pedantic that's not 4 consecutive numbers called though is it. It's 2 twice.

Maybe Randy will come over for it. Altogether now "Eddie Howes claret and blue army"

you know what I mean peter...and so do all the players at the Pershore Workies' Monthly Bingo Fest!

The only downside is that the Sky 5 got easyish draws so will still be in it.
Yes that's disappointing. 4 of them playing each other would have been tasty and beneficial to the Cup.

genuine question peter...
if not "consecutive" - which I thought I might get away with - what is the correct word?
"adjacent" doesn't sound right.

Yakitori sounds like the Japanese version of Jackanory. as for Bournemouth, I distinctly remember them coming to VP in 1987 when Redknapp was manager and they looked like an overweight pub team.
And got a draw.
-
I actually think it is a good and exciting draw - we are at home against a good footballing team who yes score goals but also concede a few.
Would be good to get a crowd bigger than the Villa Haters too!

I remember this because in the following match's program they had a picture of said goal, and on an advertising hoarding behind him one of the telephone numbers ended in 6000, and they claimed it was 'spooky'.
-
Soooo excited about this. That game was the very first villa game my dad took me too. He was originally from bournemouth before meeting my mum and living in worcester since 50's. we still have family down there, and a couple are season ticket holders. As a surprise for my dads birthday last season they got us tickets for st . Andrews sat in the cherries end as that was the first time he had seen them play live for a good few years. It was a great day and they thumped blues, just as this year !! They don't seem to play their first choice 11 in cup games given their focus on promotion so should be interesting. From a purely selfish point of view I hope its a Sunday game as we are going to Liverpool game and getting 2 consecutive Saturdays off is a problem !
-
i have absolutely no recollection of the home game. Remember the away one well, though. Some poor bloke doing his garden behind the away end as some chaps started throwing bits of wood into it which caused him to get rather vexed.
-
Pravda
The date has been set for Villa's fourth round FA Cup clash with Bournemouth.
We face the Cherries in B6 on Sunday January 25, with a 3pm kick-off.
The match will not be televised.
Bournemouth, of the Championship, are managed by Eddie Howe.
They currently sit top.
It will be only the third time the two teams have met in a competitive fixture at Villa Park.
In 1987, Mark Walters gave the claret and blues an 11th minute lead before Trevor Aylott equalised after half-time in a Second Division contest.
But the real memorable encounter took place in February 1973 in a top-of the-table clash in front of 48,110 - a record Third Division crowd.
This time, the south coast side went ahead through Ted MacDougall but Geoff Vowden and Andy Lochhead turned the game on its head to record a famous Villa win.
Ticket details will be confirmed soon.
-
I knew it wouldn't be on TV. Hopefully being a proper KO time boosts the crowd.
Edit: I read it that we were playing on Saturday. Oooops.
-
They should of put the filth on the Sunday.
-
Apparently as neither game was chosen for TV, WMP tossed a coin for who played Saturday. small heath won the toss. Expect a souvenir 8 page special in the Mail tomorrow. Dates for the civic reception have yet to be confirmed.
-
I'm quite sure we could both have played on Saturday at 3pm with little to no issue.
-
I will still laugh when as I hope we get a bigger crowd than those pair of shitehawks.

So until we win the toss at the start of a game and they don't we have to listen to them banging on about how they have won the toss of a coin more recently than us.
-
I'm quite sure we could both have played on Saturday at 3pm with little to no issue.
Quite possibly, but I doubt WMP want to have to deal with policing Villa, small heath and Albion fans at the same time as well as a few thousand Bournemouth fans.

I very much doubt you would ever have Villa and Small Heath playing at the same time, both at home, and the day passing without incident.

We wouldn't want to upset the tourists flooding the city to spend that shopping dollar with monobrowed Noses swarming out the Newt to "get at da Vile".

I will still laugh when as I hope we get a bigger crowd than those pair of shitehawks.
Small Heath won't sell out their tiny stadium, that's for sure.

Birmingham City scored a moral victory over deadly rivals Aston Villa today when they won the right to stage their FA Cup fourth round tie on their preferred date - with a coin toss.
Blues face West Bromwich Albion at St Andrew’s while Villa were also drawn at home to Bournemouth, much to the concern of West Midlands Police.
With both games scheduled to take place on Saturday, January 24, Blues asked the police to use their heads and tails to decide.
Blues won and will kick-off at St Andrew’s at 3pm on the Saturday with Villa Park hosting goal-laden Bournemouth at 3pm the following day.
A statement on bcfc.com proclaimed: “As West Midlands Police would not allow for our match and the Villa v Bournemouth FA Cup tie to take place on the same day, we had to ask West Midlands Police to conduct an independent toss of a coin to decide who would play on the Saturday.
“Blues won the coin toss; therefore the match will be played on Saturday, January 24 2015 (3pm kick-off).

I'm lost for words. Who is the sports editor at that rag these days?
-
Fucking hell, ANOTHER Sunday match?
-
I'm quite sure we could both have played on Saturday at 3pm with little to no issue.
However it's 3 of us with Albion fans as well so city centre could become a very dangerous place.
That's happened before as well.
Happened just before Xmas when we played albion away. Blues were at home to reading
-
Soooo excited about this. That game was the very first villa game my dad took me too. He was originally from bournemouth before meeting my mum and living in worcester since 50's. we still have family down there, and a couple are season ticket holders. As a surprise for my dads birthday last season they got us tickets for st . Andrews sat in the cherries end as that was the first time he had seen them play live for a good few years. It was a great day and they thumped blues, just as this year !! They don't seem to play their first choice 11 in cup games given their focus on promotion so should be interesting. From a purely selfish point of view I hope its a Sunday game as we are going to Liverpool game and getting 2 consecutive Saturdays off is a problem !
Brilliant, can't wait for a great family occasion ....sorry for all those Sat pm lovers on this 1 occasion !

How is winning a coin toss moral ?
-
Rowett's had a look at the pitch and is going to have a bat. Looking at this cloud cover though, I reckon we can get the ball swinging.
-
Wait for the release of the DVD and the Birmingham Mail Special Edition in respect of the moral victory over the Villa. Tossers.

Do you think we will be able to buy a commemorative moral victory coin?

Is that Mail article a mock up by someone on here? Surely it's not genuine?

It can't be a real Meaning Evil article about Blose, it doesn't include the word 'passion.'

When's the open bus tour? I need to know when to avoid Centenary Square. That's embarrassing for the Mail and for Blues (not that they'll realise it).

Yeah but we had good possession during the flip rotation.

Just phoned my nose mate Jeff to congratulate him.
Mrs said he was out celebrating in his newly printed t-shirt, commemorative, special edition Peaky Blinders cap and half and half scarf. The local nosers are planning a special weekend away to mark the occasion and the only date they can agree on is Jan 24th.
Bless!
-
Would have liked this to be away for two reasons. Firstly, we would likely play better, and also because with it being near Brighton I could have gone maybe.
Anyway, it will be a tough match not least when you consider the pigs ear we made out of beating Blackpool. At the same time you can't really complain about drawing Championship oppersistion for the second straight round. Think we will get through, but with a few nervous moments, and maybe a replay too.
-
I can go to this now! Thanks Blose ;-)

Apparently as neither game was chosen for TV, WMP tossed a coin for who played Saturday. small heath won the toss. Expect a souvenir 8 page special in the Mail tomorrow. Dates for the civic reception have yet to be confirmed.
They didn't win it, we lost it.

Just had a text from Club to inform me that we have been evicted from North Upper. Obviously AFC Bournemouth are talking up their full allocation.

And Trinity A shut.Rocky road this.

They love a day trip. I bet they're selling it in as some kind of Brummie experience charabanc, taking in Cadbury World on the way.
-
Whilst Des' comment did make me laugh, and although myself, daughter and dad have been villa fans and at times ST holders, they will come and be desperate to win. My dad being of Bournemouth origin, has a few family coming up for game and we are I am in constant touch with them . They are posting on their sites tonight about all the good midlands fortune of late, blues, baggies, wolves all turned over etc.
They will havev 6000 noisy fans in probably only just over half full stadium. Based on performance in prev round we'll have to be at the races right from the off !?

Amazing stat alert - apologies if this has already been mentioned
Bournemouth have scored more goals in Brum this season than we have.....
-
They haven't, its 8 goals a piece.
-

OK, here's a mad stat alert
Bournemouth have scored as many goals in Brum as we have
it still doesn't look good
-
Its one of those stats that a Nose would gladly tell you, laughing, not quite getting the joke is on them too.
-
Speaking to folks I'm getting the feeling that people are fearing this game, as if we are the underdog. It's ridiculous - have expectations fallen so far? So what if they're top of their championship - I'm fully expecting us to win this.
-
Everybody knows that the biggest derby in the Midlands is the 'We hate Villa more than you' derby.
-
To re quote the evening mail and it's ridiculous "deadly rivals line"
We might play our football in the same city but when exactly were those small Heath scum bags our "deadly rivals"
Maybe it was when the West Ham supporting cockneys with a Cardiff dwRf in tow built that 60,000 new stadium.
Or was it when they ruled half the footballing world when owned bythose Man Utd supporting Asians.
Or was it when they won the league cup for fun when owned by that Black Country scrap metal merchant.
Deadly rivals
In your dreams mail
-

This.
I wouldn't be surprised if they just merged into a 22 man Villa-hating team on the day, abandoned the game ('cos both couldn't possibly win!) and marched to VP, camping overnight in Aston Park, defying absolutely every rule/law in the book, slaughtering all of the Bournemouth players and staging a mega, medieval-style battle on the pitch in front of the thousands of shocked, innocent fans from the south, and 3,000 fickle vile supporters, but realising, at an appropriate moment, that they hadn't got their bus-fare home.
Best of intentions; shite planning. They're twats.
With no opposition we will win and go on to raise the trophy in May.
I've been to the pub.
Sorry.

8 each. They've scored more league goals though.

He's cup-tied. As has been mentioned regularly.

I heard that too with some Bournemouth fan interviewed on Phil Williams show a few nights ago. Same goals scored, but they have more league goals.
The bloke being interviewed was a film producer I think, and was slagging off Broadchurch because of the shit accents. See, it's not just us....

I don't feel too confident about getting a result in this game.

BRIGADA 1874 open invite :
"As with the Leyton Orient game in the League Cup and the game against Blackpool in the FA Cup, Brigada 1874 will be moving to L7 for the FA Cup 4th round match against Bournemouth.
This gives the group a chance to stand together as a block and also for other supporters to come over and get involved. Thanks to those who joined us against Blackpool in the 3rd round.
In the last match in L7 against Blackpool, we had a block of 40-50 people who sang for 90 minutes and didn’t waver in their support of the team; this had a good impact on what was otherwise a pretty turgid atmosphere.
These matches give us a good example of how the group can grow given our own section in the ground and it’s good to see other fans wanting to get involved and throw their full backing behind the team. it also makes going to the game more much more enjoyable regardless of what is happening on the pitch.
Anyone wanting to move to L7 please book tickets on rows EE backwards on the left side of the block.

Bournemouth are looking to sell 6,000 tickets for the game as many of their fans are keen to visit Villa Park and see this game as a unique opportunity to see their team in action in forseeable future. The Championship leaders have already sold their first allocation and expect the rest to go quickly.

Quick maths; if there were 21000 against Blackpool, of which 20,000 were Villa, then in theory this will more than likely be 26000, plus a few more. Very good chance that we will have more for this than the We Hate Villa More Than You Cup Final.

Last time they will probably ever visit Villa Park too if they get promoted

I managed to use that in a row with a youth outside my house about 6 months ago. He's just chucked his rubbish on the floor as I was cleaning my motor, and there was a bin about 20 yards away, and after my initial request for him to remove his litter was rebuffed, it quickly escalated.
I remarked that he was a "f**king tramp", which irked him somewhat, and he threatened to bring his old man down to sort me out (as he was grunting and bobbing, whilst simultaneously moving away from me), which led me in into "You can bring your effing dinner for all I care".

You were superb against Blackpool. Pity you couldn't generate that atmosphere every home game.
If we were to have our own section, in an area such as the front of L7 then we'd be that loud every game, the reality is that at present, due to seats being withheld from sale in L8 we are scattered across L8 with others unable to join us. Ideally we would like this situation resolved in time for the start of the 2015/16 season so we can really start to improve the atmosphere at Villa Park.

Can't see there being an easy route through to the final this year. There will probably be 12 or 13 prem teams in the last 16 including possibly the top 9. It's our year!
I don't think I'll give up the day job and take up gambling! Top 9? That's 5 out, 1 drew with a league 2 club and 3 yet to play.

I used up all my luck on the football last week. I had five roll ups and copped on two of them. This week in the cup I got 1 out of 5 on one and 2 out of 5 on another. Championship 1 right out of 4, League One 2 out of 5 and League Two 3 out of 7. That is 9 out of 26. As I posted on the Other Games thread I would have been better off with a blindfold and a pin.

Personally, I'd go to 5.

Here's a question.

Anyone who thinks that can fuck off to Small Heath.
-
Nice.
-
Surely getting rid of Lambert is worth some short term pain?
Don't come the feck off the Small Heath nonsense, just don't.
You just give your many critics ammunition. It's beneath you.
-
I'd rather Lambert stay than us lose 5-0 tomorrow.
-
I'd rather Lambert stay than us lose 5-0 tomorrow.
I'd rather Lambert stay than us lose 1-0 tomorrow.
-
So the Premier League's top three teams are all out. In fact, Crystal Palace are the highest placed team who are definitely through to the next round!
If only we could score a goal..
-
I'd rather Lambert stay than us lose 5-0 tomorrow.
I'd rather Lambert stay than us lose 1-0 tomorrow.
Amen.

No.
I just did, and I will again.
We haven't had that pathetic "nobody likes you" bollocks for ages. It makes me feel wanted.
-
Out of the darkness comes the light.
We will win, and we will march on to our destiny.
It's definitely our year.
-
It really is time we won this cup again. Come on Villa. Just bloody concentrate.

Win tomorrow and things will be a whole lot brighter.
-
Why the fuck would any Villa fan want us to lose 5-0? Why wouldn't you want us to win every game we play?
-
have our odds to win the cup shortened today without even playing I wonder
-
Why the fuck would any Villa fan want us to lose 5-0? Why wouldn't you want us to win every game we play?
If it gets rid of Lambert, I would. What the phrase " see the bigger picture"
-
After waiting my whole life us to do it, the bigger picture for me is I want us to win the FA Cup far more than I want Lambert gone.

Here's a question. How many anti-Villa fans would you be prepared to lose if it meant us winning the FA Cup this year.
Personally, I'd say every single one of them.

Too bloody right.

After today's results, we should really be going for it. Come on Villa.
-

I'd still take both though, if you don't mind
-
If Lambert wins us the FA Cup I'd build a statue of him.
-
Its a wide open compulition now. Not saying we can win it, but we have to give it a go now. Tomorrow will be tough, but clearly its not a bad draw, and its our only chance of saving another terrible season. Question is if Lambert won the thing would you keep him?

If he won it i'd marry him never mind keep him as manager for another year.
-
My source tells me that nearly 6,000 fans from Bournemouth are coming tomorrow. I understand they'll be using a combination of cars, coaches and trains to travel to Villa Park.
-
Boat -English Channel, Atlantic Ocean, Irish Sea, Manchester Ship Canal, Grand Union Canal, Aston Locks, walk to ground.

There is no bigger picture than winning the FA Cup.

I rather win European Champions League :) but wouldn't say no to FA Cup.

We are 28/1 to win it

I wonder what odds you could have got on a Bradford win when they were two nil down

As an aside, I remember when Paddy Power fucked up last season and put Sunderland at 90/1 to win and 28/1 to draw at Manchester City when they were a goal down. City's late equaliser was not met with great joy at H&V Towers.

Bugger!

May I add my "power to the underdogs" post to this thread?
So nice to see the small, unfancied clubs doing well in the FA Cup. Maybe Aston Villa will be equally inspirational in tomorrow's match against the mighty league-leading, goal-scoring machine that is AFC Bournemouth.

Get into em, fuck em up

Apparently they were trading at 450 on betfair - considering the opposition and their home record I would have thought you could multiply those odds by 10 to get near the realistic price for what they achieved.
I think at 28/1 we should all get on Villa, we will not get a better chance to win this competition, we are normally about 33s before the 3rd round and with all the bigger boys left in.

It's about time we started ramming the piss taking back down people's throats.
Stick this up on the dressing room wall and remind the team who they play for.
Fuck Bournemouth.
-
If the villa players aren't up for this game they will never be up for anything. It would be a clear signal he's lost the dressing room.
-
The way I see it is that it's all still ifs, buts and maybes. However, get through this one and we're in a fifth round with a lot of the big names gone (and wouldn't playing Bradford give us a chance to exorcise a few demons?). After that we'd be 90 minutes from Wembley with no chance of drawing Chelsea again. It wouldn't mean much in the bigger picture but it would at least be a day out after so many years of misery. And at that stage anything can happen.

It's our year, nailed on

Wouldn't that be nice. It will happen one day surely?

Just read a stat on bbc match preview, 'Villa have won 7 of their last 8 home FA cup ties'. That doesn't sound like our sort of stat, is it correct?

The snag is that our last 8 home FA cup ties probably stretch back to 1923 or something similar....
-
The last defeat I remember before Sheffield United was Man U about six or seven years ago so seems plausible.
-
Big player news on the screens at 2.50 according to the OS.
going to be something like "Kozak is feeling better" or something meh rather than what they clearly want people to think - a signing or Delph signing a new deal.
-
Delph signing new deal. :-)
-
Bloody hell, some good news.
-
It's Delph.

BRIGADA 1874 open invite :
"As with the Leyton Orient game in the League Cup and the game against Blackpool in the FA Cup, Brigada 1874 will be moving to L7 for the FA Cup 4th round match against Bournemouth.
This gives the group a chance to stand together as a block and also for other supporters to come over and get involved. Thanks to those who joined us against Blackpool in the 3rd round.
In the last match in L7 against Blackpool, we had a block of 40-50 people who sang for 90 minutes and didn’t waver in their support of the team; this had a good impact on what was otherwise a pretty turgid atmosphere.
These matches give us a good example of how the group can grow given our own section in the ground and it’s good to see other fans wanting to get involved and throw their full backing behind the team. it also makes going to the game more much more enjoyable regardless of what is happening on the pitch.
Anyone wanting to move to L7 please book tickets on rows EE backwards on the left side of the block.
Brigada 1874"
UTV KTF SOTC
The more the merrier !
You were superb against Blackpool. Pity you couldn't generate that atmosphere every home game.
If we were to have our own section, in an area such as the front of L7 then we'd be that loud every game, the reality is that at present, due to seats being withheld from sale in L8 we are scattered across L8 with others unable to join us. Ideally we would like this situation resolved in time for the start of the 2015/16 season so we can really start to improve the atmosphere at Villa Park.
What a day, Goals and a cracking atmosphere in the holte from a measly 20,000 brave souls, and especially to the lads in L7, the BRIGADA 1874 certainly starting to help make a difference to the atmosphere !

Hats off to Brigada again.
Do you travel as a unit to away games ? How does Brigada arrange close seats for aways or is it impossible ?

I was a little behind them and they were an impressive presence until an unwelcome rendition of the Tracey Andrews song just before the end.

We don't really need them at away games to generate the atmosphere.

It won't be anything to do with them. It will be someone close by who sang it. Well that's what they said last time it was mentioned when it was clearly heard from where they were sat for a Next Gen game.
-

Couldn't help but compare the Bournemouth fans to our usual away following yesterday.
For a lower league club doing really well at present I thought they were pretty rubbish in the support they gave to their team. We tend to sing pretty much non-stop, esp early on.
But as I posted elsewhere, most of them had probably never been to an away game before, and the meedja had told them they were gonna win at The Villa.
Hahahahahahahahahaha!
-
A lot of the Bournemouth fans I saw wandering around outside pre-match looked like they'd never been to a game before. They were all wide eyed and inappropriately dressed for a football match.
-
What is the appropriate dress for a football match?

They were utter shite to be fair. I have seen them complaining about the problems of reserved seating, which probably tells you a lot about their usual away support.

Saw one guy - in his 40s? - dressed in complete fluorescent yellow goalkeeper's attire, including shorts and carrying gloves, but with a red and black hat on - on the Trinity Road, hovering between Aston Park and the Holte pub area. He appeared to be completely lost amid thousands of people going to the football match 50 yards away!

There were some half and half scarf wankers in the Holte yesterday too.

That sounds plausible. It certainly wasn't everyone singing it as most of the other songs had been and if there was an open invite to join them, there's an increased possibility of riff raff getting involved.
-
Me and RedSox went to the Sacred Heart before the game. There was a twat there wearing his half and half scarf from the Liverpool game.
-
Well a lot of them reminded me more of rugby union fans - lots of plaid and quilted jackets , chinos and slip on moccasins . One guy looked like Hugh Fernley Wittingtsall and had a cashmere look jumper loosely tied around his neck like some German tourist . They certainly didn't scream regular football goer at me.
-

Tutu, open crotch panties and a gimp mask.
Sorry, wrong thread.

It certinly wasn't any BRIGADA that started it and as far as I can remember it soon petered out as 1874 will not sing it.
I personally hate the song, but SOTC !
