We'll play shite, look to spawn a jammy 1-0 win when Michah Richards bulldozes forward for them at a last-gasp corner and scores a header, effs and jeffs to BBC after the game and we get pwn'd in the replay at Wastelands.

Please make this the Friday night game, that's the only KO I can make that weekend


EDIT - I appear to have made one big assumption in the above

A Premier League team so it's less embarrassing when we lose.

Not if it's a 0-4 or 0-5 hammering.

As the current encumbent of "reigning FA Emirates Cup runners-up" I trust we won't give up this accolade without a gritty fight

When you think thing's can't get any worse...

The look on the Villa fan's face in the BBC car park summed it up.

Yep, the only fan during the whole draw who looked genuinely unhappy about his teams draw.

I hope Wycombe go through. They deserve the pay day. We could do without another tortuous game to sit through.

No Way! We can beat anyone at VP. FA cup games are the only matches that I've had a real interest in over the past 5 years.

The sad part is that we'll probably find it tougher playing Wycombe at VP than we did at Adams.

The cash they'd get from the replay and a tie against City will go a long way toward wiping out their debts.

Plus my guts keep telling me if we face City that we'll get knocked out courtesy of that reptilian shit in midfield that they signed in the summer.
