I am actually looking forward to the draw. I would like it to be away at somebody really twee that even our pondering about would be too good for, but I cannot help but think that we will get a nasty away draw.

Nasty in the sense that the police get out their plastic hats as they did in Lambert's first foray into the 4th round with us, rather than nasty in a we've got Man United or Chelsea away.

Ball number 10 and ball number 11, for example. I can see it coming.

Millwall.  Bloody freezing cold on a Friday night, locked in for half an hour afterwards.  Shocker

Interestingly, if we got the Noses at home, then they'd have 6,000, which would equate to 115 coaches they would bring to Villa Park, which with a stopping distance of say 6 metres and an average coach length of 12 metres, would leave a convoy length of well over a mile.

I doubt they'd be given that many. We weren't given a quarter of the ground when we went there in the League Cup.

We had 15% for the quarter final, just shy of 4000, then only 1800 ish for the league game because we wrecked the joint.

They had rows of rent-a-loos and had literally boarded up the toilets and didn't open the refreshment stalls. Very 1980s.

At least we'd get the North Stand redeveloped sooner.

I wouldn't want to play them at home. I don't fancy playing anybody at home. If its going to be a Sheffield United, we're more likely to beat them away.

I've arrived in a parallel universe where Villa fans are talking about the FA Cup 4th round draw at this time of year rather than the usual bemoaning of another year going by without an FA Cup win.

Number 10 or 19 at home please Bob.
