Wish I hadn't had a rush of blood and snatched the 8/1 odds on a Villa win.

8/1?  I'd have thought it'd been more like 50/1.

I think it's Kevin Gallacher on co-commentary and he's like a cut-price Pat Nevin.  He thinks 'you've got to put your chances away' is insight.

So Bent for.........

Even if we win you know we'd get Chelsea away in the next round. Whereas if City win they'll get Burton at home.

Just been following it a bit of BBC football live...just glad we're making a game of it...maybe bring DB on at half time to see if we can put a few of these chances away....find the 58/42 possession ratio rather pleasing, we don't often dominate possession even when we're winning; I thought it'd be 70/30 or something...

Sky are on their B team in the studio as well. No Jeff, Dowie and Walsh allowed in the studio, etc.
