I actually quite like it when none of the shocks that the BBC spends all Saturday hyping up comes off

Mind you, they are no worse than Sky
The original discussion was Villas ability to beat lower league oppo. You asserted they hadn't played any recently, we did today and struggled. The team we struggled against have less than HALF the points of blues and yet you reckon the Blues would be an easy draw, ignoring, on top of everything else, how they'd raise their game against us. Blues vs Blythe is of little relevance compared to when they'd play us, they'd raise their game massively. We can move the argument on to whether the Blues are shit, against neutral opposition, but since Rowlett took over I'd say their form has been strong compared to ours.
