A draw at best, which I doubt. I would love to knock them off their perch but I`m going with a 1-3 loss, I`m afraid.

Good post and stats apart from Downing`s 6 he was my biggest let down on the field. A 4 at best.

I would keep Carlos at RB for this one, he is better in the air than Luke Young, we seem to look for him at the far post when we cross from the left, Luke wouldn`t give us that option and Rovers wouldn`t worry about LY in the air. Collins and Dunne at CB, Warnock and Cuellar FB`s.

Rovers did knock a Chelsea team out in the previous round, plus a good win at the weekend against Fulham, so it will be tough to start with at VP. We will be at Wembley for the final v Manchester City I hope, (and the liar.) 2-0 to us on the night, 3-0 agg. Is it too early to book a hotel and travel, or just bad luck? If we can`t beat Blackburn Rovers for a day out at Wembley, then we havn`t moved on. UTV

Two points dropped today, we needed the 3 because of the other top 4th spot clubs dropping points, we were at home against a relegation side. Not many positives today, the game went away from us and we seemed to run out of idea`s. Gabby and Ashley Young were very poor considering how they are both looking towards South Africa. A point is better than the Liverpoo result, (late winner) but these dropped home points all add up come May. Lets hope we don`t go backwards on Wednesday. Come on lads, Wembley becons.

Villa 2 West Ham 1 If we can`t beat a team like WHU at Villa Park, then why should we be thinking of a top 6 position, never mind the magic 4th. Nice to have selection problems at last, the choice is down to our manager, it`s his job on the line. :winkold:

Just backed us to win 1-2 and if James Milner scores first....£150. If only. Villa win 1-2 single 8/1 Milner to score first, Villa win 1-2 scorecast. 60/1 James Milner first goal single. 10/1

Going to have a bet on this one, we will go through over two legs, but I`m backing the old 1-2 for tonights first leg. Pederson (sp) for them. Carew and Milner for us. (I hope)

You can't; see the stickies in the Testing forum. I can, but what a long winded way to just post a picture, is it worth it.

If this works it`s a miracle for Chritmas! How the **** do you upload a photo on this site.....

Now we have beaten manunure, liverpoo and chelski, the media should take us seriousley for that top 4 spot. Oh I forgot they prefer manchester City or Spurs. Do we give a ****....No Well done everyone, on and off the pich. Rooney is a cheat!! And all cheats should get a RED card.

This has got to be a home win...2-0 or 3-0. Or we don`t deserve to be 4th, 5th or 6th. I hope Downing play`s a part, but young Delph also needs a run out. Let`s just enjoy today.

If we want some silverware and European football next season, without the pre-season bollocks, then this is the cup to win. 1-2 to us and we should march on, all depends what Martin sends out. Pompey will be up for it, ad we need to match them on their patch. Some dates you might like...or is this bad luck? 1st semi final w/c 4 January. 2nd semi final w/c 18 January. Final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday 28th February.

Carlos looks more settled this season and was our MOTM today v Spurs. Would of took the point before kick-off, lucky to get a point out of this game, Spurs looked good in the second half. Why, when we are at home and 1-0 up sit back? Good point though.
