That's how interpreted it. Many others didn't.
To be fair, it's not unreasonable to infer from what he said that he'd rest players from the FA Cup to save them for the league.  That's the obvious conclusion.  To see today that he hasn't done so is a) great, and b) makes me wonder, as I said, whether he changed his mind over the last couple of days.

Had a chat with Jose?

What a gesture of disdain to the fans, the opposition and the competition and the tradition and history it represents to play such a terrible...

Oh wait, that's our first team.

Any radio link for non-UK residents available?
Its on Radio 5 live if you can get it, or on Villa web site
Who have just described a cross by the Bulgarian Tonev. Er, thought he was on the bench?
Also mentioned backnia, think that's Bacuna?

Great turn out from them. Very poor for us. Game very slow and VP quiet.

Tonev is on for Baker who injured himself in the warm-up.

I'd be very surprised if we're playing 352. What - Lowton Clark and Luna as a back three and Tonev as a wing back? Can't see that at all
