Oh dear, the BBC are reporting that Heskey is fit.  I hope McLeish doesn't pick him for his "defensive qualities".

I'm really nervous, I think we have a chance but we really need to attack.

Buzzing come on the mighty Villa. Not sure if its the two pints and a shot i have already had, but got a good feeling about today. If we can score early and silence the crowd i think they will turn on there team and our fans will make it feel like a home game ...........

Fuck me i'm looking forward to the game. I'm probably only going round the corner to watch in a bar but can't wait. The PWS household is most certainly up for the cup!

No Collins or Albrighton, Ireland and Cuellar in. I presume injuries to blame as they're not on the bench.

I'm guessing Ireland and Gabby wide, with Keane and Bent up top. Potentially 4-3-3 with keane wide-ish but that would leave us very narrow.
