I think I would have given their young lb MOTM had he stayed on a bit later. He owned Bailey in that first half and pretty much nullified our right

A strategically positioned hat stand could have nullified Bailey in the first half.

He got tackled, not hard just the ball knicked away in the first 10 minutes and stayed in a heap on the floor and I thought "here we go, he doesn't fancy this".

Needs a spell out to sort out his injuries and head.

Agreed.  It was probably a bit too cold or something.  If this Malen character turns up, I'd be very surprised if Bailey doesn't end up in 'impact sub' territory.

Ian Wright conveniently forgetting the corner we should have had just before. Sulky Pillock. I’m bored stiff with the same pundits jumping from channel to channel. At least we didn’t get fatty hyena
No idea why Keane and Wright are everywhere. Give someone else a go and get some fresh perspective
Totally agree more rotation required . Lee Dixon is another one .

FA Cup is so much more enjoyable when you're still in it....

To play that badly for 60 mins and end up winning is remarkable  as we were  dreadful particularly in first half. Got better as later stages went on but man we were bad.

Only thing that matters we are in the hat next round. No doubt it will manure or liverpool next. Good to get a rest before Wednesday  game too.

We really need to start games better because as keane said we were rubbidh 1st half. Embarrassing at times

Happy birthday to us. Me and the kids had a great time. Well done Villa for the whole occasion - so much better than the centenary game.

I was at the centenary game v Leeds. Lost2-1. Graydon missed 2 pens

That must have been the one where he was off the pitch feigning injury. No one was having it, the game carried on without him. I half expected an announcement on the tannoy to bleat out “get up you wanker”

The worse of the lot is Ally McCoist.

that's poor - Stride would be a better CEO at Villa than anyone running the place currently there

A lot of non-regulars at the match it seemed. Around me there were a few bringing their kids and other halves. Good to see.
