I just took a look at a Swindon forum.

It's full of "we'll beat Villa" and "winnable" comments. One of them suggested the only good player we have is Darren Bent.

Honestly, these cheeky fuckers. Swindon are in League One, ALL our players are good compared to theirs.

To be fair, I can easily see why any fan who doesn't keep a close eye on us might think that.

Not fans of a League One club.

I meant more about the 'One of them suggested the only good player we have is Darren Bent' bit, but they probably will fancy us at their home ground. We'll slaughter them though, of course.

Deluded twats. They do actually realise what we did last night don't they?

"Villa are pretty low on confidence. We can do them."
"Another very winnable tie. They won't fancy coming here and we should be well up for it. Was hoping for Liverpool or United away as it would mean I could get there but we can always have them in the quarters!"
"we'll beat villa"
"Definately a winnable tie.  Only really good player they have is Darren Bent"
"Can i just say, we'll beat villa"

Never had the pleasure of going to Swindon before, I think a little midweek break is in order, i never thought in a million years did i think i would be looking at the 4th round draw tonight!...

Don't think anyone has actually ever found Swindon pleasurable!



Place full of roundabouts and keepers with no hair if my memory serves me correct!

Keepers with no hair was Oxford I think

Oxford it was, I felt a little sorry for him in the end. He was a shell of a man.

He made the mistake of taking it really serious and not just having a laugh at the first song.  Everyone I was with spent the whole game thinking of songs that could have a hair or comb reference in them.

Will be a chance to see the 'good' James Collins again.

Funnily enough they will be playing here on Saturday; will be a bit of a 'needle' match as it was adjudged a week ago that Swindon will only have to pay Shrewsbury an initial fee of £140,000 for their acquisition of Collins in the Summer.

Just guessing, may be approx 3k.  Also guessing priority will be given to those attending both Tranmere and Citeh.

Apparently, according to wiki, it'll be 3,300.

Realistically, for a midweek game like this, that should be enough.
