Aston Villa v Sheffield United Pre-Match Thread

[sirlordbaltimore]

Vlaar aside, it'd better be a side that's capable of winning tomorrow.

And Benteke should be the first name on the team sheet. He needs minutes and goals and with no other game for 9 days this is the perfect one for him to get going again.

In fact with no game on the horizon I see no reason why we shouldn't be giving it the full 100%. We are after all supposed to be PREPARED

I have voted a Villa win. I'm wondering what a bloody reply is? I hope it's not more long term injuries enforced on our thread bear squad.

It says 'replay'. Get your eyesight checked.

Ooops.

[pooligan]

1-1 and will win the replay

I would prefer not to go to a replay but if it does then I think the Arsenal match gets brought forward to Sunday as opposed to Monday.

Yep, 12 noon on Sunday if villa or arsenal need a replay.

[Legion]

Ah. Villa win and Arsenal to draw then please.

[PeterWithesShin]

An Arsenal draw would be splendid. I hate Monday night games as i'm not a fricking American watching girls rugby.

Has anyone stopped to think that as Sheffield United are currently a point away from the League One bottom four, they might not be making this match their top priority either?

Exactly what my Blades' mate said a few days ago!

He missed out the bit about the cup being a great leveller but apart from that there's enough cliches in there.

Missing the game as my girls have a match against Stoke City away at 1pm, but hoping he gives some youth a chance, Helenius for hat trick for me!

Sheffield are not taking it seriously??? Bu, bu, but, jumpers for goalposts, when we were school kids the FA cup was all we dreamt of etc etc etc.
