If we do take it to a replay, we would want Villa Park to be a cauldron like it was when we drew down there with Sammy Morgan being disgracefully sent off. Bob Wilson was to blame for that.

I was stood on the old Witton End for the replay (30/01/74); remember it as if it was yesterday.

Morgan's goal in the replay was one of those ones that could be termed 'sucked in by the crowd'. It was absolute bedlam in there. Bob Wilson lay down until Sammy was sent off at Highbury and then got up and ran round like a spring chicken. He got some stick for it in both games. That was what you call booing.

It's our year.  Villa 4-2

I was on the Holte for the first time at this game. When I say 'on the Holte' I should mention that my feet were rarely on the ground. Magical night and as BC54 VFC said, it feels like it was yesterday.

Can we really win twice in a row away at the Emirates. I don't know about that Dave!

I've always thought Bob Wilson hasn't had too much good to say about Villa over the years - maybe this explains it?

I have a work acquaintance who is an Arsenal fan. He's already assuming they'll get knocked out in the next round by the winners of Liverpool v Man Utd [he's assuming the winners of that game will be Man Utd]. He's not even entertained the idea of us beating them.

Well he's an idiot then.  Our record at the Emirates if he cares to take his head out of his arse is:

Played 5 Won 2 Drew 2 and Lost 1.  The two draws should have been wins as well.  This is the one "big" ground we go to and usually perform and apart from a 20 minute cameo substitute appearance from Fabregas where we got dicked I've never come away from the Emirates feeling we haven't deserved the results we've got. 

Come on Villa lets get down there and do them.

She wore, she wore, she wore a claret ribbon........
