THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT. Ugh, this is why I hate posting on here sometimes. Annoying when I feel like I have to explain myself as if I'm on trial or something.
I think that anybody who posts "I just want us to be out of the cup" is going to have to explain a bit about why they want that.

What I meant is that it'd be better to go out with a bit of dignity (losing to Chelsea away), rather than going out in an embarrassing manner (losing to someone like Preston at home).

Just need to say here that I have seen Preston several times this season, and they have about 100 times more organisation and attacking intent than us. They lost their top striker the same week we had Callum Robinson back, & it made no difference because there are goals all over their team.

I always think I'd like us to draw them in a cup, but come to think of it, it'd be a disaster for me right now!

It was probably just a heat of the moment thing. Big deal. No point in beating him up over it.

I want our dear neighbours, home or away. We need some excitement and I think it'd do a few of our players good to play in a game where passion and desire will be as important as ability.

I wouldn't want to play them with this team. They'd probably beat us and we'd never hear the end of it.

Completely agree with that. A game like that would do way more harm than the potential benefits.

Me neither. Nothing to gain at all from it.

I'm pretty sure that nobody is beating anybody up.

Sheffield United would be another recipe for disaster. But a perfect set up for a decent session with a wander home; and a row with the wife.

I'm not lond after a pint of Pale Rider so Sheffield United away is my predictable preference.

And there's all those beers you haven't tried yet.

Another trip to the Fat Cat? Yes please.

Nah, it's the classic win-win surely. As much as you would hate to see Villa knocked out you would still have that little bit of you that cheered on a Preston win.
There are many on here who will say you just cannot support two teams, I say you can, if you want, it's a free country and there are no rules!

I scribbled down all the teams in the hat. I have only just realised the way I wrote it out in two columns looks like cup draw. If we are drawn away to Stoke it will be quite spooky. If I do have a gift I wasn't aware of look out for chelsea v Arsenal and potentially Spurs v Liverpool.

I think it's a very serious matter indeed and deserving of a full trial. How dare he say something in the heat of the moment? It's about time people took their posting duties more seriously

Somebody wanted Cambridge United away. I saw Cam U beat Luton on Saturday and Villa beat Blackpool on Sunday. Villa would struggle in my opinion.
