That's why we're here garaham. A bit like the Curch. In a time of crisis you'l all be turning to us. We're just worried that were being softened up. I still worry that we will finish around 9th/10th and after we've shown great strdes this season we need to be n Europe, or the fringes of, to keep our better players. As I've said previously this season is pivotal to our 5 year plan (Does everyone have 5 year plans? And why do we have 5 year plans when they were introduced by a tyrant intent on murdering millions of his own people?) Anyway, I digress...

We need to show that we are there or there abouts by the end of the season. Not just because of keeping our better players happy. But also, because of who we can attract to the club. I honestly believe being knocked out of the FA Cup early will help us. Relatively small squad just having to concentrate our eforts on the league. Yes, I'd take a good Cup run obviously. But there is a bigger picture.

i'm worried that we will by some fluke manage to put away the Mancscum in the Cup and then go out in the fourth round to local rivals Chasetown.

C'mon JD tell us what they call you, being one out against the whole family must be difficult, are you sure you wern't adopted from a family in Aston?


We moved from London to Chasetown Robbo, with my Dad's job and I started going to see Villa on a regular basis. I didn't really support anyone before this and after seeing Villa the first time I was hooked.
When we moved back down South a couple of years later I stayed true to the Villa and refused to go to WHL with my brother etc (unless Villa were playing of course  :smt002 ).

What would you prefer this season? FA Cup final (losing) or 6th place? Seeing as both should be a passport into Europe? Both not being an option. So, FA Cup final and the chance of finishing 8th or 9th (outside Europe) or finishing 6th and going out of the FA Cup early?

Cup final, definitely.
Despite the utterly gash game in 2000 I still had a great day out.

I'd say FA Cup Peter, for the simple reason it would mean we would have finally put one over those Manure Bastards.  :smt002

Submariner had to start one Saturday; I started one today and then a few minutes, Dave had created another, so it had to be merged. Mess just about covers it. The post match threads were even worse.
