It's free on Virgin Media from today until 4th Feb.

Feb 4th? I hope we don't need more than 90 mins to see them off!
Could be that match keeps going till Heskey scores!

Right Eck no messingg about. No experimenting with players and tactics. Select out best 11 and go for it. This is serious it's the FA cup. If you lose Eck stay in Bristol.

It would be nice to think Villa would control the game and win comfortably but I am sure it will end up a scrappy affair, bumpy pitch, howling wind, Warnock scaring us shitless but eventually getting through 2 1

I'm a very positive person in my everyday life! This team is utter shite and unfortunately I have no confidence in them or the board.
