Has anybody seen the sales? There are less than 200 left.

156 now. Blimey.

Is this with the top tier open?

Yes.

Our support this season home and away has been nothing short of astounding

[pooligan]

We have beat Swansea home and away 1-0 ,our youths knocked them out of the Youth cup and our u18 beat them 5-1 . I half expect something to go wrong so i will go for yet another draw 1-1

[Gregorys Boy]

Don't have a strong feeling either way about this one.  Have a feeling both will field weakened sides.  My feeling is Swansea will edge it  1-2.  Elphick to get ours.

[Malandro]

I’m hoping it’s Davis and not Hogan or Kodjia.

[Mossie Hennebry]

Thank Christ its not on TV...we might have some hope!

I assume Chelsea wouldn't let Tammy play in the cup at least until the deadline passes. It'd be nice to see some of the younger lads on the bench so they can get half an hour after our fourth goal. 😜

Is the game on AvTV does anybody know?

Cheers

[Matt Collins]

He's very unlikely to go 442 surely

2-0 Villa, do us the power of good to progress in this competition, lets go for it, make this happen with a resounding win.

Really have no clue on what the score will be, or indeed what sort of team we should put out.  Usually I have the FA cup well down on our list of priorities at this stage of the season, but with the disruption to the team with injuries/Abraham possibly leaving, I'm not sure whether Smith shouldn't just play his strongest side so they get a bit of coherence/confidence and treat it as a league game almost.
