Heard was introduced as a Villa legend. Laughable. And shown on screen as 'a 1982 European Cup winner' No he wasn't!!!!

His winners medal says otherwise.

Were you there? I was and he didn't play. Dont be so ridiculous!

Jimmy Rimmer has two, as does Steve Ogrizovic .

A well deserved win. Into the quarter finals can't ask for more.

You do realise the subs got a winners medal as well don't you? You'll look pretty ridiculous if you don't.

See above.

Started off well then got back to dross for a bit, and kept in it by world class save from Given. Much better second half - notice on here people saying Sherwood gave HT team talk? Only saw a couple of close ups of him in the posh seats so didn't know he'd gone to dressing room - if so, fair play seems to have had an effect. We're not that bad a squad - just been poorly coached and motivated so hopefully Sherwood will make a difference and I'll get that order in at Tesco's for a large case of humble pie. Having said that Leicester were very poor apart from their goal and we still show a lot of naivety at times - ping pong defending, and not running the ball into the corners to see the game out. But 1 good goal and 1 which will go down in the annals of FA Cup red faces and we're in the hat for the quarter finals. Maybe, just maybe.....

Decent crowd and a lot of very attractive young women in the Upper Holte where ST holders near me usually sit (and had either relocated or stayed at home) - Valentine's presents to their other halves methinks, and certainly easier on the eye than the usual mob

See above.

At what? You being wrong or the multiple people pointing out you're wrong?

[PaulTheVillan]

Second half I thought we were a totally different side to the first half.

First half was very Lambert, second half we had more tempo and were way more direct.

Whatever Timeh said to them a half time made a big difference although I hope future instructions to express themselves will not include the full back giving the ball away in a very dangerous area leading to their goal.  Brilliant header though and Hutton was good otherwise.

Great goal from Bacuna although why their defender didn't force him outside onto his weak foot is a mystery. I reckon Pearson has been to distracted to instruct his players this week.

Some great defending from Vlaar and Clark.

Well done chaps and special thanks to The Marshalls who must have had a very stressful few days and acquitted themselves with aplomb.

What is also reassuring is that he had his head in hands or shook head in disbelief at the right moments. He's going to organise this shambles, I'm sure of that.

My thoughts exactly. I often thought that Lambert appeared reluctant to upset the players by showing signs of frustration like that, but it's a good thing in my opinion.

Missed game so can't comment.
Very delighted with the win and a place in QF

There were a couple of stonking old school style tackles today. Well done TC and Clark.

And the expected shit potential tendon tearing one by that tosser Konchesky.

I must say I thought Cleverley was our best midfielder today. I know there is not a high bar but credit where credit is due. By contrast Delph has been utter shit since signing the new contract.

We now have Timbo, Shezza, TS and Timeh. We need a poll.

And credit to Clattenberg for recognising them as such.
