If we get past Bradford I'd love to beat Chelsea in the final.

The dream draw. Being away in the first leg means they won't sit back, but will attack us, meaning we have the opportunity like last weekend to pick them off on the break. I think (and hope) that the second leg will be somewhat academic as we would have won the first leg away.

That fucker on Sky (Bradford must be delighted with this draw) is as cheeky as all you fuckers.
Well they must be delighted because they are paying the most famous club left in the competition.

And the weakest of the three teams that they could of drawn. Therefore Bradford have every reason to be pleased

Lower placed, yes. Weakest, no.

If we don't win this it'll be a disaster. I've got that Wembley feeling.

It's also worth remembering that even when we were arse wipingly bad under McLeish, we still managed to comfortably beat League 2 side Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup.

I expect a confortable 2-0 win at their place and then we can rest a few players for the home leg.

1-1 at Valley Parade - anyone know when on sale an how many tickets we will get
3-1 at Villa Park.

Totally buzzing after the draw.

December 1970: Villa from the 3rd Division beat a ManUre side full of (admittedly fading) international stars.
Since then, I've always been very wary of writing off the underdog.

My only regret is that, with Valley Parade a mere 12 miles away from my home, I'll be away during January.

I'd have preferred Chelsea over 2 legs, frankly. But there you go; I thought Leeds would have turned them over.

We're way, way better than they are in every department.
They'll also have never come across anybody like Benteke before.

Nor will they be able to deal with the speed of our counter attacks.

Sit back and enjoy.

We're Aston Villa, doing things the hard way is what we do. I am not counting any chickens.

While i'm normally cautious I can't help thinking that if we can't beat a division 4 side over 2 legs then we don't deserve to win anything again.
This a million times over.
