FA Cup 4th Round (H) Bournemouth

[Dazvillain]

Whilst Des' comment did make me laugh, and although myself, daughter and dad have been villa fans and at times ST holders, they will come and be desperate to win. My dad being of Bournemouth origin, has a few family coming up for game and we are I am in constant touch with them . They are posting on their sites tonight about all the good midlands fortune of late, blues, baggies, wolves all turned over etc.
They will havev 6000 noisy fans in probably only just over half full stadium. Based on performance in prev round we'll have to be at the races right from the off !?

They love a day trip. I bet they're selling it in as some kind of Brummie experience charabanc, taking in Cadbury World on the way.

They could sail to Liverpool , down the ship Canal then barge it to aston

We'll win. And go on to lift the bugger in May

Amazing stat alert - apologies if this has already been mentioned

Bournemouth have scored more goals in Brum this season than we have.....

They haven't, its 8 goals a piece.

OK, here's a mad stat alert

Bournemouth have scored as many goals in Brum as we have

it still doesn't look good

Its one of those stats that a Nose would gladly tell you, laughing, not quite getting the joke is on them too.

Speaking to folks I'm getting the feeling that people are fearing this game, as if we are the underdog. It's ridiculous - have expectations fallen so far?  So what if they're top of their championship - I'm fully expecting us to win this.

Everybody knows that the biggest derby in the Midlands is the 'We hate Villa more than you' derby.

To re quote the evening mail and it's ridiculous "deadly rivals line"
We might play our football in the same city but when exactly were those small Heath scum bags our "deadly rivals"
Maybe it was when the West Ham supporting cockneys with a Cardiff dwRf in tow built that 60,000 new stadium.
Or was it when they ruled half the footballing world when owned bythose Man Utd supporting Asians.
Or was it when they won the league cup for fun when owned by that Black Country scrap metal merchant.

Deadly rivals
In your dreams mail

This.

I wouldn't be surprised if they just merged into a 22 man Villa-hating team on the day, abandoned the game ('cos both couldn't possibly win!)  and marched to VP, camping overnight in Aston Park, defying absolutely every rule/law in the book, slaughtering all of the Bournemouth players and staging a mega, medieval-style battle on the pitch in front of the thousands of shocked, innocent fans from the south, and 3,000 fickle vile supporters, but realising, at an appropriate moment, that they hadn't got their bus-fare home.
Best of intentions; shite planning. They're twats.
With no opposition we will win and go on to raise the trophy in May.

I've been to the pub.
Sorry.

Can anyone confirm have Bournemouth scored more in Birmingham than villa this season ? Just wondering ?

8 each. They've scored more league goals though.

Goals in the Mickey Mouse leagues don't count though, especially when you're playing dregs like Small Heath.
