The FA Cup (Other football)

[AV82EC]

I want to draw the Rags and destroy them.

I don't because the reality is we will not be at full strength and that always opens a window of opportunity for the opposition.

Emery's hand will be forced if we get drawn against them.  If he treats it as a nuisance and fields a weaker side that gets beaten, the (admittedly quiet at the moment) calls for his departure will get louder.

Louder?  You mean there are 'audible' calls now?

There aren’t any calls at all, but people are quite rightly questioning what the Manager is doing to rectify the current poor run of results. However it’s not completely out of character for BC Villan to take the most negatively rhetorical flourish to amplify his point.

I just want us to take the Cup seriously this year.  I can't see us getting Europe again, and winning the CL is a pipe dream.

Yes, you can hear them clearly in Small Heath.

So quiet I have not heard even 1?

Someone on the BBC Sport feed yesterday was talking about this team being the worst he's seen as a Villa fan. I mean, FFS.

He might just be a very eloquent 3 year old.

Maybe he means that he personally is calling quietly for UE’s departure but would raise the volume of his personal calls if this were to happen?

Manchester United Away obviously.

[Deano's Mullet]

100% we will get Small Heath this year.

[Risso]

100% we will get Small Heath this year.

Well, about 1.5% to be slightly more accurate.

[Demitri_C]

100% we will get Small Heath this year.

If we do you know it would be rigged as they will famcy a upset there. There is losing but losing to blose in league one. That would never be lived down.

Would rather never play the unwashed ever again

[Brazilian Villain]

A nice, easy home draw to lift the mood a bit wouldn't go amiss.

A nice, easy home draw to lift the mood a bit wouldn't go amiss.

The last nice, easy home FA Cup tie I went to was possibly the worst result in our history and did little to lift my mood.

If we end up finding ourselves in the Champions League play-off round, I'm not sure there's a fixture we could have that wouldn't have me thinking we'd have half an eye on chucking it.

I want Doncaster away as they’re my local team now.
