going to watch the game in the local village pub with my best mate who is from Stockton and a Boro fan, we always have the same bet of a takeaway curry on the result...

I'll be watching with another Villa fan and a couple of  Boro,  mates, then on for a curry...like the idea of betting on the result for it. Not sure they will go for it though.

I've heard that we haven't won an fa cup tie since 2016 when we beat Wycombe. That took a replay as well. Blimey.

Since beating Wycombe Wanderers in a third-round replay in January 2016, Aston Villa have lost each of their last eight matches in the FA Cup. No side has ever lost nine in a row in the competition while playing in the top two divisions.

[Toronto Villa]

No Pau, Tielemans, Olsen tomorrow. Thankfully no Fin Azaz hat trick for them either as he didn’t sign in time. Cash likely back.

Emery “It's a way for a trophy and prestige as well, for every supporter and for the players. I will send this message in our meeting tomorrow morning.”

Ah, the apocalypse season.  Wycombe should hang their heads in shame actually for losing to us that year.

I saw Gerrard’s old mate Michael Beale pop up yesterday on TV as some unfortunates new manager,

He straightaway came out with the ‘best versions of themselves’ bollocks to which I said out loud ‘oh do fuck off’ without thinking

My Mrs said hey no need for that, I said sorry but you don’t understand

Get her to look you in the eye and tell you she's ready to be Mrs E.

I would hope we go for a standard back 4 tomorrow of Cash, Carlos, Lenglet, Moreno. Give Konsa a rest.

I still fucks me off no end to think we had those two cliche dropping useless bell ends as our managerial team. Wankers.
