FA Cup 4th Round - Chelsea with added potential 5th round Leeds (h)

[The Man With A Stick]

When did we last play them?

1987/88?  Can't think of any cup ties since then.

edit - yep, just checked, Feb '88 beat them 5-2

The Plymouth v Leeds replay is live on the BBC tonight I hope Plymouth get through.

Same here, we might get a look at Sousa if he's able to play.

He’d be ineligible surely?

Unless he's cup tied, I'm not sure what the rules are now for loan players against their parent clubs.

I'm sad enough to remember it as it was only my 2nd game, but it's quite surprising we haven't played them in a cup game since then.

Last time I saw them was at Villa Park in 1984.

Is Tommy Tynan still banging them in for them?

I think I was at that one.

Its interesting the top prediction for how far Villa will progress in FA Cup comes out as  35% of forecasting posters say we will lose to Chelsea
32% say Villa will get to Quarters
14% say Semis
14% say Winners
5% beaten finalists.

When did we last play them?

To guess I’d say late winter/early spring of 88 in the old division one. I remember we beat them 5-2 that day, and Platt got a couple, maybe Birchie got one? The promotion charge was on.

Maybe played them in a cup since but i dont recall any?

I remember Tony Daley playing a horrendous back pass early on which put their striker clean through to put them 1 up.

I'm really looking forward to it. I'm going home for a couple of hours of napping before dinner and heading to the ground, so I should be in tip-top, peak condition to focus and demand more of myself, and to be better today than I have been before.

Make sure you are always in your way, and respect your opponent always.
