The only thing that matters in cup football is to get through.The rest is window dressing.

Very happy! Stopped off at Tyburn House on way home for a celebratory pint!

Can we wear our lucky black FA Cup shirts all the way to the final?

Re corners given, I can't think of a worse decision, there was no West Ham player anywhere near the ball, but who cares, the great thing is, we took full advantage of our luck. The winning goal was quality and thought Buendia and Ramsey were class.

Looking at the BBC stats on my phone during the match.

First half Villa 0 shots, West Ham 5 shots two on target.
At 68 mins we had 5 with 0 on target, they still had 5-2.

Close to 90 we 15 with 5 on target, they had 6-2.

We allowed loads of wild hits in stoppage time though as it was 16-5 and 11-2.

Let’s hope that’s the last time we have the opposition in our stand

I'm not sure I agree with some of the posts suggesting they played well, they were shit, just defended in numbers and tried to catch us on the break.

Just home. I agree, we were terrible first half, but other than the first 10 mins they were shit for the whole game and got shitter as it went on.
Between about 60-80 mins we completely blew them away. Second half was also the best atmosphere down there this season other than the Bayern game.  We have a way to go to get our form of last season back, but Ramsey/Maatsen down there left could be season defining for us.
Chuffed to be in the hat.

Any ideas of the attendance?

Ref thought it had come off the head of the one somewhere in the middle who jumped to head it. He wouldn't have the angle for a sure thing though, but the match pretty much showed swings and roundabouts with one not given a few mins beforehand.

None of our players appealed for it and were all legging it back, shocking (hilarious) decision.

It was an awful decision, but no worse than the one 2 minutes before that took a clear deflection and he gave a goal kick. I really hope that doesn't get forgotten in all the reports.

As bad as we were in the first half I thought the tweak to drop Kamara to RCB and Tielemans deeper in the build up made a big difference, and we were good second half, well worth the win in the end.

Really really like the look of the Rogers-JJ-Maatsen combination down the left hand side. That will rip some teams apart over the coming months.
