I can't grumble - would love to meet Small Heath at Wembley.

Wembley way would resemble Basra pre and post match.

A bad idea.

Do you have a stadium re-building company looking for a new contract?

It was bad enough after the Chelsea semi-final. And they weren't even gloating properly.

Most other teams from the same city would bury their differences for the duration of a day out at Wembley.  A Villa-Blues final would be the exception.

Carnage on every train down to Euston.

Carnage at every service station on the M40, M6 and M1 between Birmingham and London.

Carnage on the Underground and at any pub where a group of supporters gathered for a drink.

No thanks.

Sadly I agree, it would be carnage. Every meathead from both clubs would travel down, including those on banning orders etc.

Too many innocents would get caught up in it. Us and them in a final doesn't bear thinking about.

It would be great, and anyone who wouldn't go because we were playing Blues is a big girl.

Once you saw a fraction of the carnage which would kick off you'd be changing your mind.

Penetrating analysis.

Personally i'd rather play them in the semis, two night games home and away, it would be like the games when they first came up not like these tame noon kick offs.

I heard the Met police were praying that wouldn't happen last season.  I think it would be carnage and virtually un-managebale for them!!

Err can we just focus on Burnley please and hope that Brentford can do everyone in the educated world a favour and knock them out

I honestly would prefer it if we never played the filth ever again

The main reason I wouldn't want to play them is because they're due to beat us. Even though we're considerably better than they are the law of averages says we can't keep winning. I'm dreading playing them in October, simply because we've beaten them six times in a row. This logic is somewhat silly I know.

Yes, they were great those two, weren't they?

Are you ever going to understand that this isn't a video game, innocent people get caught up in what you doubtless call 'atmosphere' and I for one would rather go to a match without the thought that every minute I'm outside my front door I'm having to be careful?

The same law of averages says that after 100 years they should have actually won something, yet they continue to be a club that defies modern scientific understanding.
