What a pity that level of coverage coincided with our most barren period in the Cup. Me and our kid used to love FA Cup Final day on the BBC so much that we used to say if we got there we'd stay home and watch it on telly.

Surely the only answer to give to
'Who do you want in the FA Cup 3rd round?'
Is
'The shittest team possible at home.'

Hastings away please.

Harrogate Town away please

It's our year for the cup. I have never been so convinced of it. ManU at home in fourth round then Man City away. Burnley away in the quarters then Liverpool in the semi. Villa 4 Chelsea 0 and it's ours.

Lets face it, the reaction to the draw will go something like this:

Fuck

Shit

Unbelievable

Every fucking year

Away again

Oh well maybe next year

Man City at home to Barrow. It's all a fix.

Grow a pair you miserable feckers, we have to play the good sides if we want to win the cup.

We'll take 8,000 there

Is it on the telly?

Rotherham away, just so I can say I've been to New York to watch the Villa play.

From a selfish point of view - any away game I can get a ticket for.

I've not been to one since the 2009/10 season, I think. Something relatively well priced that we're not definitely going to lose would be nice to get back in the swing of things.

Who could we get drawn away against that we'd definitely not lose? Is there such a team?

I'd go for Bournemouth at home.  I hear Ted McDougall's moved on, so that's got to be a chance worth taking.

Went to the Harrogate v Hastings match today and really enjoyed it, big crowd, muddy pitch, two teams going for it, reminded me what a great competition it used to be until teams started putting out weakened sides as finishing 12th in the table is more important.

It cost me £12.00 and my son £3.00, money well spent. Hope Villa don't get Hastings, their little number 11 will cause problems!

That would be ideal for me too Amfy - I might even buy you a drink before or after the game - you can choose the venue!

At home to Luton, or anyone else non-league that we can suitably thrash to get some confidence going!

Man Utd away it will be then!
