FA Cup draw

[Holtenderinthesky]

Stoke v Blues
Man City v Man Utd

They'll be the semis i reckon. Blues v Man Utd final, and Blues to get twatted for the second time in the final at Wembley.

Which would see Birmingham qualify for Europe as FA cup runners up as well as give them 3 trips to Wembley.  Let's hope Bolton beat them or that Man City and Man U miss each other until the final, that way the Euro spot would go to the team in 7th instead of the cup runners up.

Have Man U already knocked Arsenal out then?

[WikiVilla]

Bolton are not Coventry or Sheff Weds, they are a decent team with a manager who knows his arse from his elbow

[Holtenderinthesky]

Have Man U already knocked Arsenal out then?

No, they haven't but it would be the same if Arsenal get through.  If they or Man U were to meet Man City in the final it'd be the only way of the league getting the extra place in Europe.

Hopefully we can win the thing and qualify ourselves.

When is the draw for the final?

[cdbearsfan]

That would be nice. We're due to win it one decade...

I think I'll just stick my hoping into Villa beating Man City rather than hypothetical scenarios that don't actually affect us at all.

[Holtenderinthesky]

Of course but there's no harm in hoping that should we go out, the scum don't get a free ticket to Europe.

Maybe a bit controversial here but I'd rather win the fa cup and get relegated than finish 8th and win nothing- I've dreamt all my life of seeing villa win the fa cup and if we did go down we would bounce back as champions next season in any case.

I would as well. Winning the FA Cup would be remembered forever. Finishing mid table again, who cares?

I'm sorry but that to me is absolute nonsense.  I appreciate that you are entitled to your opinions but have you really thought this through?  I have only supported the Villa properly since 1988 so I can't remember being relegated but those who can talk of dark days and poor attendances something I too would "remember forever".  I would love the FA cup but at the expense of our top flight status?  No chance!

No they don't.

Well maybe you don't Dave but I know plenty of people who look back at 1987 and say it was a terrible time to be a Villa fan.  The 3rd division days are a seemingly different story but nobody I know enjoyed going down in 87.

Whereas everyone I know who was there loved it.

Everyone you know loved being relegated to the 2nd division?  Ok, well that's not what I have heard.  Oh well, let's get relegated then and see if we'll all enjoy it as much as you say.
