Aston Villa v Chelsea Match Thread

[Rudy Can't Fail]

That Chelsea team is so so weak. The defence is made of  poor players and I can only see 3+ goals being scored and being on Leeds next round
Looking forward to this!

Up The Villa.

Oh FFS, you're about as successful at predictions as my nan doing the pools. 3-0 Chelsea then.

TBF, if there's one thing he knows about, it's Chelsea.

One of the rules, as a Villa fan, is not too be sooo freaking optimistic so close to kick off.

That has 100% done it......

I'm quite relaxed about this. Same as I was first time around. I'd love to win the FA Cup again but my whole season isn't riding on it. We really should be beating them comfortably here but no more injuries at the end of the night and I'm happy.

In the studio with Mark Pougatch, it's Roy Keane and Karen Carney. Oh joy...

Not so sure, probability says he'll eventually be right one day, why not today?

I see that Jackson, who has proven himself incapable of hitting a barn door from three paces, is playing.

Traditionally, we all know what would happen now.

Putting on ITV for the game and it's the tail end of Emmerdale Farm. Been yonks since I saw it, hoping for a scene with Amos and Mr Wilkes before the credits.

[Villa Lew]

Hope I'm wrong, but think it could go to pens.

[Ian.]

Even the bench is looking stronger again

I don't think it's had the 'farm' suffix since we last won a major trophy!

[PeterWithesShin]

It's set in Yorkshire, not Suffix.

[Martyn Smith]

Pochettino deeply annoyed by the ITV interviewer's line of questioning re why are you not playing this player and this other

[KevinGage]

Hope I'm wrong, but think it could go to pens.

I'd take pens if we win.

Haven't been confident about this one since the first game. A replay at home should give us the ideal chance to progress against a mediocre Chelsea. But it's the Villa.

Two minutes about villa now it's the Chelsea show.
