Aston Villa Women 2022/23

[PeterWithesShin]

Seems as though the semi final draw means something as semi finals are played at the home side's ground. No idea if that has changed for this season but that's how it's been the last few years that I looked at. Last year West Ham lost at home (in Dagenham) to Man City, att 1,565. And in the other semi Arsenal lost at home to Chelsea (in Borehamwood), att 3,458.

A shock upset according to the BBC.

Despite us being unbeaten against them this season!

I saw a stat that in the past 10 years, Man City have either won the cup or lost to Chelsea. I’m that respect, it is a bit of a shock

The draw is on Tuesday morning around 9:45am btw

Hopefully if Man City are found guilty of FFP breaches their women's team is stripped of their titles and relegated along with the men's team! A Great win for our women yesterday! One newspaper highlighted that this win has breathed new life into the competition.

Brighton at home, please, while the memories of putting six past them are still fresh. Worry about the final once we're in it.

Without wishing to jinx it, I'm not sure what happens about ticket allocation for the final. I'm assuming there's plenty held back for the two competing clubs, but there was an announcement at the game last night about "get yours now" and that 40,000 have already been sold.

A word for the Manc mouthpiece The Guardian here, who have been pushing the women's game for years now. They'd have live feeds for women's matches above Championship matches when we were down there, and fair enough, the game needed that kind of promotion.

So we dump one of their teams out and there's not a mention of it anywhere, despite a full write up on Utd beating Lewes. Wankers.

Yes a great win! Man City bought or influenced their way, rather than played their way into the WSL in the first place, similar to what Arsenal men did to get into the top tier after the the First World War.

Same on BBCBreakfast, where they showed the goals and gave a cursory mention to the other semi finalists.

Chelsea
Man Utd
Brighton

Hope avoid Chelsea Women as they are superior by far.
They won it last 2 years and 3 times in 5. I can't see Villa Women beating them.
Man Utd would be difficult but a great match and a chance but not favourite for the tie.
Brighton would be the draw would be most favorable to reach the FA Cup Women's Final.

It would be the first time Villa Women reach an FA Cup Final and it's been a good progression from last year and this year to the semi.

A conspiracy theorist where the FA Cup draw is concerned, it will obviously be Chelsea v Villa and Man Utd v Brighton.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Chelsea at home. Even this draw they made out we're the plucky underdogs who will make the numbers up as the media darling Chelsea march on to another victory.

[Dave P]

Weekend of 15th / 16th April.  Villa are at home on the 15th but Walsall are away so I bet the game will be at Bescot.

Unfortunately that's the case. Most difficult team to play of those left.
Chelsea along with Arsenal Women are one of the best in not just English but women's football.

A conspiracy theorist would have their beliefs bolstered by the cameras cutting away from the all-important velvet bag after each ball. Take it fucking seriously, you disrespectful ******.

I hope they will set a kick off time that doesn’t clash with the men’s fixture. I’d really like to take in both games if possible.
