FA Cup 6th round - home to Olbiyun

Woke up, still buzzin my head off about this match

[UK Redsox]

Will all four be on telly? Will one be Monday?

if they make that a Monday night game they`re asking for trouble - and they`ll get it.

Why? We play the Tuesday before too. We played them on a week night twice last season. Armageddon was avoided on each occasion.

Villa's match makes the most sense for Monday night because most fans won't have far to travel.

From my experience of these games it's the least 'derby-like' derby imaginable. Any time I've been to one it's as if we're playing the likes of Bolton or Wigan, such is the apathy the majority of villa fans appear to have when it comes to them. I suspect that this pisses them off all the more, which is nice.

I love the thought of bluenoses on the outside looking in, noses pressed against the window while the rest of the city is raging.

Monday wouldn't suit in the sense we probably have an important league game 4 days later ?!

[Marlon From Bearwood]

It's very funny how many of them are bleating about how hard it will be to get a ticket. Maybe if you went to games more fucking often you'd get one a lot easier. Wankers.

They're a joke. I work with a Villa hating bitter who spent all morning trying to get a ticket for Small Heath away and moaning how hard it was. They don't have an away loyalty scheme like us as there's no need for one. So for games like this it's a free for all.

When there were 4 balls left it was us against Manure, Arsenal or the Baggies, so I'll take playing them at home.

Shame Pulis has made them so much better, still we have a 50-50 chance of getting to the Semi-Final.

From their own forum :-

It's embarrassing. Fecking embarrassing.

A thread about who we want our cross city rivals to get in a cup competition that we are no longer in.

Noses pressed or tongues licking?

Still remember Grayson's goal in 98...

When you are surrounded by the inbreds like I am, this means a million times more than playing Bolton or Wigan, trust me.

Predominantly from me in a coarsely worded email with regards to why we're not playing on a Sunday, as recent tradition clearly dictates we should.

[Richard E]

Still remember Grayson's goal in 98...

And the rendition of "Can we play you every week?" when it was 4-0. That would do nicely.

Mind you, if it goes to a replay we will be singing "Do we play you every week?"

Those WBA goals are in the memories thread I posted last night if anyone wants to see them.

Bloke at work just said "I've had a text off my Albion supporting mate. He says that he hasn't been this excited since he married his sister".
