League Cup Quarter Final - away to Small Heath

[adrenachrome]

Chico, are you one of them there numerologists? Ya daft Babylonian.

A B postcode? So what, Henley-in-Arden in Brum is it, Stratford on avon in Cov?  No I don't think so.

Surely we are favourites for this one, we have a team littered with England internationals and finished top 6 last 3 years running, let's not pretend it would be a great big achievement for little old Villa to beat the mighty Blues next week, we damn well should be.  Yes we have players out, but we have Gabby, Ash, Downing, Carew, Ireland, Pires, Bannan, who do they have to really hurt us going forward?  Hleb maybe, but he's out of form.

Problem is that we find it difficult to break these kinds of sides down. I can see the game going to pens.

[lovejoy]

Whats our away record like? Whats their home record like?

[PaulTheVillan]

I can't remember the last player that made it through the Blues academy.

Even if that is true then you're looking at 10-15 years ago?

He doesn't say that though, does he? Not that I expect a knuckledragger to be able to read.

To be fair I think you'll struggle to find any Villa fan who would claim that Gabby might be in line for a Nobel prize.
