Aston Villa v Peterborough United (FA Cup) - Pre Match Thread

[eamonn]

Might have been asked before but have Audrey and Davis played together much for the Reserves/Youths?

[The Edge]

Hard one to predict as I don't know much about Peterborough. But we're in the envious position of having a more than capable "second string" for the level we're currently playing at. They will want to cause a big FA Cup upset. Should be a good atmosphere as they have sold around 4,000 tickets but I'm going for a hard fought 2-1 win for the villa boys. Some Villa fans are  saying that an early exit would let us concentrate on the promotion push. I say "Bollocks to that" The FA Cup is still the best domestic cup competition on the planet.  Let's go for it Villa and see where it takes us.

we didn't take the last cup outing particularly seriously and were spanked by Villaboro. Personally I'd like us to field our strongest 11.

[ciggiesnbeer]

I just want to see the squad depth get a shot at playing. Hogan aside I would like a completely new starting 11. Really, we need to see more of the squad. We will almost certainly need them in the back half of the league season which is the overwhelming priority. Lets see what they can do. Win or lose then we have learnt something about them which can inform our january transfers.

If Paul Lambert was still boss I'd gamble serious money that we'd be knocked out tomorrow. Think tomorrow will be different matter though. 2-1 and not without a few scares too.

Do you mean Audie? I'm getting confused with this Murphy shit. Brian is my favourite Murphy if I'm honest.

[cdbearsfan]

I think he meant Katherine.

[Nelly]

I voted that we would lose the last two games so I'm hoping doing the same will enable us to keep winning or at least playing in the same manner. Fingers crossed.

[Clampy]

It's a good opportunity to give the likes of Chester and possibly Adomah a chance to sit this one out. I'll go 3-1. Terry, Bjarnasson and Onomah with ours.

[Mister E]

I think he meant Katherine.

could be Aud or Kath.
Could also be Eddie or Brian. Or Cillian.

If anyone wants a free print at home ticket for the Holte shout up.

Complete sense.

3-1 Villa and a continued refreeshing approach to the game

Or for those of us that were teenagers in the early 80s, Dee

Both teams will be more focused on the league (Peterborough are on the play-off hunt in League One), but its a good chance to give our second string a run out and I am always up for a decent Cup-run.  Have a feeling it might be a close game.  Will go 2-1 to Villa.  Hogan to get another goal for, and Davis if he plays.
