Assuming we can beat Wycombe Wanderers in the replay next week (stop sniggering at the back!), who would you like to meet and where in the next round?
Walsall at VP for me.
-
Yeah Walsall would be good practice for next season
-
The shittest team possible so we can get some sort of a win, i'd like to draw Aston Villa.
-
Eastleigh or Exeter at home.
-
Leeds United away.
-
Let's get it over with - Man Utd at VP.
That should instantly quash any glimmer of hope of progression and avoid any further pain and suffering inflicted on the fans.
-
A Premier League team so it's less embarrassing when we lose.
-
Oxford away would be nice.
-
Eastleigh away please
-
Wycombe vs Manchester City
-
Man City
-
Man City
-
Oh well, may as well let Wycombe have a nice pay day at home to City.
-
FFS.
-
Good luck, Wycombe Wanderers.
-
Well that's that then.
-
Oh dear.
-
So Man City are out next round.
-
Another year goes by
-
It's our... oh, bugger.
-
D'oh!
-
That's us in the 5th round then.
-
It's rrrrrrrrrrrrrr fukcin yeeeeeeeer
-
You never know, assuming we actually beat Wycombe, maybe Man City might field their U17's.
Without shin pads and in trainers.

Blindfolded and with their legs tied together aswell.
-
Oh well at least we can concentrate on the..... oh fuck it!!
-
When you think thing's can't get any worse...
-
We may aswell go out next week, save ourselves an extra game which we'll lose anyway.

The look on the Villa fan's face in the BBC car park summed it up.

That's the spirit!

Dum didum
-
We'll play shite, look to spawn a jammy 1-0 win when Michah Richards bulldozes forward for them at a last-gasp corner and scores a header, effs and jeffs to BBC after the game and we get pwn'd in the replay at Wastelands.
-
Please make this the Friday night game, that's the only KO I can make that weekend
EDIT - I appear to have made one big assumption in the above
-
A Premier League team so it's less embarrassing when we lose.
Got your wish

Not if it's a 0-4 or 0-5 hammering.

We have to remember we might not be playing em yet

As the current encumbent of "reigning FA Emirates Cup runners-up" I trust we won't give up this accolade without a gritty fight

Yep, the only fan during the whole draw who looked genuinely unhappy about his teams draw.
-
I hope Wycombe go through. They deserve the pay day. We could do without another tortuous game to sit through.
-
I don't.
-

No Way! We can beat anyone at VP. FA cup games are the only matches that I've had a real interest in over the past 5 years.

im starting to think I have really upset someone in a former life
-

The sad part is that we'll probably find it tougher playing Wycombe at VP than we did at Adams.
The cash they'd get from the replay and a tie against City will go a long way toward wiping out their debts.
Plus my guts keep telling me if we face City that we'll get knocked out courtesy of that reptilian shit in midfield that they signed in the summer.
-

We can't beat anyone at VP.
Fixed for you.

It's the FA Cup.... Anything can happen ;)

Surely with that kind of attitude from fans we can hardly complain about the players not giving a fuck? I want us to smash Wycombe out of sight and then see what happens in the next round.

Couldn't agree more. WTF is happening to us when we want to see our team beaten even if we are shit?

Bloody right! We need to go out fighting. If we're sure as hell goingdown lets at least play our strongest team and wipe Wycombe out before tearing a hole in Man City.
Well at least try and do that anyway.
-
We can do this they may have better players ,they may have more money ,they may have a better game plan
They may have better strikers but ....it's only Wycombe fight like marines villa we can worry about city after

I'd quite like us to have an 8 month pre-season. Close for refurb. Re-open in August. Although that's because I need a break.
I don't want us to get beaten all the time, but this season has been horrific. If we could press a button and end it tomorrow I would.
The most likely scenario is that we'll probably scrape through against Wycombe and then give Man City the easiest game they'll have all season, particularly as we've used up our quota of luck against them for this season in the 0-0.
And yes I'm quite aware I'm being a miserable git.
-
I hate this defeatism. We will beat Wycombe and Man City is a perfect draw for us. No shame if we lose, massive boost if we snatch something. The very last thing we need is another banana skin after the two Wycombe banana skins. Bring it on. Hart, the Holte has unfinished business with you, Baldylocks.
-
That's that then. At least we won't embarrass ourselves at Wembley this year.
-
There's a difference between being fed up with this season, we all are, and hoping we lose at home to a fucking 4th division side.
-
I'm not a fan of the defeatist attitude here.
The romantic in me would love it if we packed Villa Park and threw ourselves behind the team in these games coming up. It would send quite a statement that the fans aren't giving up on the whole thing and maybe galvanise the players into a bit more effort when they look up and see the Holte bouncing.
More chance of me dating Mila Kunis though
-
If we win the next two, ask me again.
-
Who is Mila Kunis?
-
Let's wallop Wycombe and hope it's a 5-30 kick off under the lights with villa park rocking.
I ain't giving up on us in the cup or league till its mathematically possible
-
C'mon Brian. Even I know who Mila Kunis is.

No I don't. I don't know any of these modern sex goddesses, Clara Bow, Jean Harlow just to name two from Essex, Mae West just girls inflaming men who should be putting up some shelves or wrapping their dahlia tubers in newspaper.
Mind you, I once actually met Zsa Zsa Gabor. My friend Eric was her 8th husband.

I'd give up a no holes barred dirty weekend with Mila Kunis to see us survive in the premier, new mega rich owners to waltz in & champions league football in 4 years.
I can dream.
-
Nice easy fourth round tie.
For Wycombe.
-
Good luck, Wycombe Wanderers.
Just stop it. It will be Aston Villa v Man City on Sunday 31 January.
-
I thought Mila Kunis played for Man City

Look on the bright side. ..man City are one of the few teams who couldn't beat us at home this season...where there's life there's hope !@!

On another day though it could and should have been 0-3 or 0-4. That day will be the cup game if we get through, we'll get bummed.

Mental age yes. Real age, times that by two 👍

We will dispatch Wycombe, then bring on City. If you are going to win the cup you have to play the big teams at some stage.
-
Fabian Delph was asked what he thinks of the draw if Villa get through. He replied "It will be a piece of pissssssssssssssssssssss".
-
Let's be honest, if Aston Villa were the only name left in the hat for the FA Cup, 'made in Taiwan' would win.

Glad to be of assistance Dave!

Just stop it. It will be Aston Villa v Man City on Sunday 31 January.
Hope it's not the graveyard shift on a Sunday night like the time we played them before and Richards equalised for them right at the end. The 5.30pm kick off in Saturday would be my choice.
-
Massive incentive for Wycombe. Beat us and get Man City at home. Right now, I'd have them slight favourites.

I wouldn't. It was their big chance on Saturday and apart from set pieces, they looked very limited.

Nor would I. Remi Garde looks and sounds like a man who will put a bullet in the head of any player who plays or behaves like he did at Wycombe.

Then I realised it probably wasn't :o

Anyone know how many televised games there will be ?
Friday night
Saturday - early
Saturday - evening
Sunday - lunch
Sunday - late afternoon
& Monday night ?
As previously mentioned I really wouldn't want Sunday at 7.00pm or something like that.
Oh and by the way - I'm very confident we'll finish Wycombe off at home - their big chance was on Saturday.
-
I'd rather we weren't on TV to be honest.
-
At least that would mean us playing on the Saturday at 3pm - but I'll be surprised if we're not picked for one of the tv games.

Bought my Wycombe ticket earlier. I must be mad!

I am waiting to see how I feel after tonight but at the moment and given the weather 3 evening games in a week is not really doing it for me.

Must admit as I was stood in the queue in the shop in town I did think to myself "what are you doing you plum!"
-

looking at the rest of the draw I think we will be on TV(if we get through) as the rest of it isn't very aspiring really...
UTV
The Doc
-
C'mon TV people..... Friday night for this one please
-
I am pretty sure I heard on the radio yesterday that the TV games had already been decided and ours is not amongst them.
-
Will be Saturday 3pm - Derby v Man Utd is the live Friday game.
Other live games Colchester v Spurs, Exeter/Liv v West Ham on the Saturday. Carlisle v Everton and MK Dons v Chelsea on Sunday
-
Oh well, the march to Wemberleee will have to carry on without me then

No lower North Stand? Surely we haven't given it to Man City?
-
£15-£20 seems pretty reasonable. I doubt a Man City game away will have had such low prices all season.
-
No lower North Stand? Surely we haven't given it to Man City?
If we have, I'd guess it's a response to Albion throwing chairs down there from the Upper North last season.
-
No lower North Stand? Surely we haven't given it to Man City?
We "may" have given them all of the Noorf stand rather than the upper Noorf and corner of the Witton Lane stand
-
That will kill the atmosphere down that end from us big time if they've got 7000 behind the goal.
-
On the ticketing page the Trinity Upper, North Stand Upper and Lower, and usual away section in the Witton Upper and Lower are all showing as red and unavailable.
-
Maybe they haven't decided yet then: tickets don't seem be on sale on Man City's website.

I had an email saying I couldn't have my ST seat for the game

The normal away end is red on the seat plan aswell, we can't have given them 9-10k surely? Embarrassing if so.
-
Up to 15% so around 6500 which I think will be all of the North stand
-
I expect City will have the usual away section and Upper Witton End as is always the case in the cup, and the Witton End lower will be kept empty as part of the punishment for the Albion game last season.
You know, the game where everything that happened was Villa's fault and our spineless club officials were in rush to plead guilty to, apologise for and happy to accept far more punishment than was deserved or would have been given to any club with the balls to stand up for itself.
The reaction of the people who run our our club and who are supposed to act in the interest of Villa fans above anything else, was more of an embarrassment that day than all the rubbish the media came out with.

It wasn't a matter of being spineless, or embarrassing, or any other How Low Have We Sunk cliche. FA rules had clearly been broken and you can't get beyond that. Villa were guilty, they knew they were going to get punished and in the additional circumstances of media frenzy and hypocrisy trying to shift the blame would, if anything, have made the situation and potential punishment a lot worse.
-
They've got all of the North Stand apparantly, 5900.
-
Surely at £20 - this is going to be pushing 40,000 ?
-

wouldnt have thought so as the upper trinity is shut
-
Those are very decent prices. Well done the club.
-
The Upper Trinity will be opened if the demand is there. I think it will be about 35-36k including the 6000 Man City fans. A win on Saturday could add a few on the gate though.
-
The normal away end is red on the seat plan aswell, we can't have given them 9-10k surely? Embarrassing if so.
Why embarrassing? Full ground is better than half empty. We have had more than 9000 away fans at VP in the past and they have been great occasions.
-
According to the Blue Moon website they have 5,900
-
They've already sold out the upper North, and most of the lower. Impressive. Think they'll definitely request more tickets in the Witton.

It's impressive from them, would we even take 5900 up there even with cheaper tickets? I said earlier in this thread it will be embarrassing and piss taking if they have 8-9000 but it looks like it could happen.

We lose most of our games and play rubbish football. They win most of their games and play fantastic football with some true stars of the game. Of course we wouldn't take 5900 to see another routine defeat.
-
Man City have always taken thousands everywhere, even when they were shit. Just hope they don't turn into the red lot up the road from them when they were here for "that" night time FA Cup game when they had about 9k tickets.

I think we'd take 5k everywhere we went if we were winning the league every other year and had the kind of financial backing & access to talent they have. Please don't confuse this lot with the ones from Maine Road...they're a different club altogether.

The original rule in the FA Cup was 25% of capacity to the away side.
I'd like a return to that, it meant some great away days and good home atmospheres. It's only when arseholes like Newton Heath act like c**ts that I would think of reducing the allocation.

Personally I'm sick of seeing other clubs fans parading and celebrating wildly at our ground, so i'd rather allocations we're cut!

Bought my ticket today. Can't complain at £15 for the Holte.

That's good didn't realise they were that price. Just gonna get mine now.

Will get mine on the day. Lower Holte if I'm on my own, Family Area if I have Freddy and/or Kai.
-
You can join the L2 massive!
-
I can't go to see us make it 6 without defeat. Oh well just the Barca v Athletico game to attend. Swings and roundabouts.....
-

Freddy wants to sit in the Lower Holte so L2 it is.

Man City have sold out their 5900. They'll surely request the normal away end now, and we can't exactly refuse judging by how few tickets have been sold on the online seat plan.

First home game of the season I'll miss.

Think of us sat watching us get stuffed in a half empty ground won't you.
In all seriousness I am very jealous, going to Dortmund on the yellow wall is one thing I really want to experience. Me and my mates are on about trying to go next season when they play Schalke.

My girlfriend did very well. She got tickets through the club. They release a small batch 6 weeks before the match. Sold out in no time of course.

Well look at this way, its a no lose situation for us. We can only really lose, if we lose/get thrashed :-X...Alright I will shut up now ::)
-
'Snapped up' (to use the club's favourite phrase), 3 tickets for this yesterday online. Seating plan is very green at the moment, hope we sell a lot over this next week.
-
Well, managed to get Saturday off and will be going to a match somewhere.
So it's either The Villa v Citeh or Burntwood Town v Leamington Hibernians
Go on, persuade me!

Just found out because my daughter got our 3 season ticket seats that we have row 17 and not 24 asked why and she said that the back block of the upper Holte are closed. Sorry if this has been mentioned on another page

Why?! Closing the upper Trinity I can understand but the back of the Upper Holte?
-
Upper trinity is closed has anyone n here got any seats further back than row 17 -20 in the upper Holte so? I think it will be closer to 32-35000 if we do sell the seats available.

just seems odd
-
Just found out because my daughter got our 3 season ticket seats that we have row 17 and not 24 asked why and she said that the back block of the upper Holte are closed. Sorry if this has been mentioned on another page

Not that I can remember. Just found someone else had posted about it on Twitter, they were told by the club 'from row 17 upwards in the Upper Holte is closed to improve the atmosphere'. So that's the 'singers' in the lower North and upper Holte who have had to relocate, let's hope they've all gone in the lower Holte.

Yes......If sales pick up over the week they will open the back rows up again.
-
what a strange decision
they will still have to have stewards in for the 17 rows they are selling
-
Well, managed to get Saturday off and will be going to a match somewhere.
So it's either The Villa v Citeh or Burntwood Town v Leamington Hibernians
Go on, persuade me!
New ground.
Is it the old Brereton Social ground Burntwood are playing at this season? A friend's lad played against them earlier in the season and I remember him saying they've moved up near Rugeley somewhere, so can only think it might be the Social.
Anyway, go down the Villa, at least you won't be asked to take the nets down afterwards.

Wonder if it is anything to do with the problems against Leicester. I'm in K3 R30 but am not going to this match so didn't realise it was shut off.

I used to sit on Row 17 in the upper Holte and I know someone who still does so i'll have to ask him if he's tried to buy his own seat.

I'm in row 23 and bought my seat no problem

It's cobblers - just been online and you can but tickets in the 20+ rows where available..Upper Holte that is

Having said that the crowd looks about 20,000 at the mo!

There's definitely certain blocks of the Holte Upper which they aren't selling seats in from Row 19 backwards. I'm sure this could change subject to demand, but the only way to put bums on seats for this one is an exciting signing or two this week, which looks unlikely.

Face off between "lads" (who were drinking and smoking) and Stewards 2nd half.
Stewards backed off and "lads" celebrated a victory of sorts. I wondered if they would be banned

No, it's the ground in Ravenhill Park nearer the actual town, Brereton Town's ground rather than Brereton Social's (Social are still playing there in the Staffordshire Senior League Division Two).

Thanks, I know where you mean, opposite the Miners. Haven't been that way for years since the A51 was diverted. Went to the Social's ground a few times when I was younger though, I bet that's looking like it's seen better times!
-
It's cobblers - just been online and you can but tickets in the 20+ rows where available..Upper Holte that is
Just phoned to buy my tickets and was informed that if I had bought them by the season ticket deadline I could have had my seat, because I hadn't they are restricting it to row 17. However if I was adamant that I wanted my seat she would have gone away to sort it for me.
-
I just looked at the back of my block in K5 online and the odd green seat is available after row 17....I assumed the ones that have gone are ST holders that have purchased them. Seems the back of the wings may have been closed off.
-
Just remember if you go to this game you will be able to purchase your final tickets a few days before the people that didnt

We have always been a Cup team haven't we?

I don't but it doesn't bother me - kids being wankers does though especially when it might get me involved in the melee!
Don't you realise that the mere sight of a man with a pint in his hand on the Holte could bring two millennia of civilisation crashing down is seconds?
;-)
-
Likely team?
------------------Guzan
Richards, Okore, Clark, Cissokho
-------Veretout, Gueye, Westwood
------Gil, Kozak, Sinclair
Think Ayew needs a breather, Veretout likely to come back in. Sinclair to start against his former employers if not already sold, see Richards, Micah
Not sure if Hutton will be back fit, Lescott likely to be rested, Sanchez probably not fit either
In summary, we could take a real hiding
-
Witton, just a bit of tongue in cheek from me. OK, agreed, no alcohol, let us just have coffee and a fag then - suits me even better!!

Looks like we'll be lucky to get 30,000. Sad times when we can only get 24,000 home fans in the FA Cup against one of the country's best sides at £10-£20 a ticket. I thought more may have made the effort for this one, especially as we're already relegated.

I think it is the first sign of the fans real disillusion with the club after the white flag flying of the board at the Trust AGM - would you fancy Lerner/Fox or Hollis in the trenches with you?
-
We have three successive weekend home games and there are obvious reasons why this one might be one that people are giving a miss.

Hopefully this will be on the wireless because I'll be on my way to Gatport Airwick

We're in a run of 6 home games in a little over a month at a time of the year when a lot of folks are fairly tapped out after Christmas. Coupled with being crap it's not a massive surprise it's looking like a low crowd.

There may be a last minute dash but, could go either way as fans just haven't got a clue what type of team a manager will put out for these matches. So £20 may be cheap but then you may be watching AVFC Reserves v Ci£eh 3rd team for all we know!!
I've put us down for a win but, lost my marbles years ago!!

This will be the first FA Cup tie I miss in decades, just can't muster any enthusiasm after last year's Final debacle and the utter toss against Wycombe.
Saving all my energies for the miracle that is us surviving!

Main reason I'm up for this one is it's a Sat 3pm, first for a while after Wycombe, Palace and Leicester. Going to midweek games after work and driving just isn't the same as getting in the pub at lunch time for a pre-game social!

It's having 9,000 drunk dickheads, lording it as we play shit and lose again, I can't be arsed seeing it again.

I'm flying to Grenoble for a week's skiing in La Plagne.

No De Bruyne for City by the looks of it. Nasty fall, looked horrible.

I reckon Aguero will be on the bench aswell waiting to come on and do a van Nistelrooy if he's needed. They've got a league game Tuesday and a big game with Leicester the Saturday after.

DOL WAS RIGHT ! ! !
FICKLE FANS ! !
Wednesday Night Man City played 90% of their first team ~~ taken to extra time by a workmanlike 'counter-attack' formation from the Toffees.
If we know this, Remi knows this, his players know this.
I'm disgusted by the Vote, as it stands.
FICKLE is probably too weak a word.
Get Backbone those who voted a loss.
I want a Draw... :D
And a lucrative replay. Too late for the promised "support",in the transfer window,
but that's FoxSpiel ennit... ;D
But enough for potential loans before next Monday.
Home v Man City
Away v Man City in a replay
Over a million in dosh from the FA to us~~ on a replay...£2mill more.
That money is enough ~~ because it is 'iron clad' from the FA...to pay for the short termers that Remi needs...those that can cut it.
No Lerner or Fox "promises"..but HARD CASH to prove we'll pay.
Because we haven't in the past ~~ as we all know.
A Replay is what I voted for.. because we can do it to a knackered side.

The way I look at it we've got a free shot on Saturday and I hope we play with a bit of freedom. At the very least, it will give us another chance to tell Delph what we think of him!

Perfect opportunity to give Sellars a game see what he can do, scores for fun for the u21's.
Puts in a performance and nicks a goal, be like a new signing.

Seeing as there is a full set of Premier League fixtures in mid week it is likely to be Villa reserves v Man City reserves , i will go for 1-1

Not sure, maybe a desperate late lunge from the long legs of Kozak leaving us a tense four minutes of stoppages.

Well as we are likely to go down despite the recent improvement Villa could at least put out our best team for the FA Cup. The oldest and most important Cup competition in the world is treated by the clubs as an irritant. That is a disgrace and sums up modern football to a tee.
Modern football is rubbish!

Going to be a big big ask. Citee's pace and movement is likely to undo us, however this is the cup and anything can happen.

Man City fielded their First Team 3 days ago in a Cup Semi-Final.
Four of them have had recent weeks and months out through injury.
I seriously doubt that some of those high-maintenance players will get beyond the bench...even on it !
I know we have been total cr@p....but we aren't total cr@p anymore.
Thanks Remi. :D
Although we don't need it, I'll go for a draw.
Actually, we may need it. One more combatative match to help weld us....
Another extra million from a replay, to offset Gaby's weight reduction bills.
YEP !
A Draw and a replay. Priceless. ;D
1-1

We better put our "best" team out for this (whatever that is, and if we actually have one).
I want to win the cup. We're already down.

We've nothing to lose by Remi putting his "chosen future" side out.
Just not Gaby and "My-Dad-Says-I'm-Too-Good-For-This-Club" Jack.
Still hope for draw, with our "Remi-Future" vs their tired and insolvent even ~ rested ~ super-stars :D
We are probably down.
Our owner has left our Manager high and dry
Our CEO and new Chair seem to be on different planets.
Bugger it... let Remi do what he is doing
Let's us... KICK AND NOT WHIMPER...as we withdraw for a bit
;D

In terms of the crowd, Villa have come down very hard on needing a booking history for this one. Season ticket holders can buy 6, but need to fully register anyone they are bringing with a new booking reference if they haven't got one.
3 lads at work decided they were going, but couldn't get tickets because they had no booking reference. I managed to get them (knowing they are Villa) but needed to provide their full names and addresses.
Whilst I was in the Villa shop, a middle aged couple came up to me and asked me whether I could get them tickets on my season ticket, but there was no way I was doing it right in front of the ticket office staff even if I wanted to. They had gone down to the ticket office and been turned away due to having no booking history.
It's a tough one because Man City have sold their allocation, and we have moaned for years that the club do nothing to keep glory hunters out of our stands. It's not even as if those idiots know to sit on their hands anymore, they leap about giving it large as soon as they score and it does cause problems.
On the other hand, this game is really well priced to bring new fans in, but they are struggling to get tickets. It's clear from my experience that we could have sold loads more for this, there are people who want to be there but can't get a ticket.
The club are damned either way on this one.

Problem is even a third string City team would be too much for us in all likely hood. I can see us making life difficult for them, but will go for a narrow City win 1-2. Sinclair to get our goal.

Is this one on the box lads?

No, its one of the 3 o'clock kick-offs today. Might be on the radio though.

Thanks. Come on villa, give us a performance to be proud of. There's no pressure of points, just go out and take the game to them!
