Southampton vs Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[in exile]

We play the previous Saturday while they're playing on the Sunday.

Could be handy if our game is on the Tuesday.

It'll be on the Wed for that very reason. Three days recovery being the norm.

When do we have them in the league, is it around that time? Hate it when that happens, the opposition usually has the measure of you after the first game leading to stalemate.

We play them at their place in December

City, Liverpool, ManU, Everton, Villa, Arsenal, Leicester & Chelsea in the last eight then - no more easy draws for us this season!

Crap draw means all the top teams walk into the QF's.

The draw may have been rigged

Was it sponsored by Volkswagen?

I'd be surprised if it wasn't. There's nothing that the teams competing at the top of European competition and bankrolled by billions of pounds would like more than to hamstring perennial relegation strugglers, Aston Villa . They're terrified of us.

I'm gutted that we've been drawn against a financially solvent club with such a renowned academy. They will destroy us

A crumb of comfort, last time we played midweek at St Mary's we won 3-2

And we've never lost there in a cup game.
