I'd take a point today if it meant we beat Chelsea after a free midweek to rest and prepare.

4 points from the 2 games would be a good enough return to gamble on Spurs losing 3 of their remaining 6

Did we not do it for the final game last season and Ramsey questioned why when it was only for the conference league

Yep.

Clearly helped the team that day though. Good idea I think, helps crank the atmosphere up a touch when half the team are going to be tired.

Huddersfield are going to absolutely batter them for 89 minutes.

And we all know what'll happen in the other minute...

Scrap the league cup, and put the Conference League place to the League position.

Have the FA Cup 3rd Round in October or early November to enable the competition to be spread evenly over the season. Will stop the congestion caused by League Cup semis and the final as well.

Probably suspended - he was booked in the 1st leg, and twice tonight. 3 yellows = 1 match ban

We've mugged them off over the 2 legs - if it had been reversed we'd be calling them the jammiest bastards going.

They're a bunch of moaning, diving ****, but they've got some good players - the right back, the guy who scored their first goal, the 2 centre backs... they're the best team we'll play in this competition.

Not sure who I'd prefer next, but who cares at the moment.

Is there a link to Carraghers 20 minute analysis? Can only see a 2 minute one on Sky's twitter

What? The guy is a footballing visionary. No manager has attempted to play a high line here before, he's a genius.

They sometimes get beat but that's just how they play mate ay?

Sky can get **** - we were a complete afterthought from the moment they'd booked those studio guests. Spoke about us in the build-up like Arsenal were at home to a lower-mid table team who needed one more win to be certain of not being dragged in to a relegation scrap. If only they'd just seen a match like that an hour before... We were (and are) 4th - no mention of the season we're having, just "Villa are 4th, they're actually not bad you know".

100 minutes later we're still an afterthought. It's a shame no other broadcaster can compete with them and attempt to get a better product than the shite they serve up, it's embarrassing.

They'll need some investment to challenge for promotion again, but they'd be comfortably in mid-table at the moment.

"Gonna fill that 60k stadium, they'll be queuing round the block to get in. BTW, we can't sell all our tickets for a huge game in our recent history"

Absolute tin-pot club.

Saturday... home to Coventry, and Sheff Weds at home to free-falling Stoke.

They could be 3 points adrift come Saturday evening...

has anyone actually said what's wrong with Mowbray?

Probably been sectioned for accepting the job in the first place...

(A joke of course, I hope he's ok)

Get in there Forest

United should win most of their remaining games - Bournemouth A, Sheffield United H, Burnley H, Palace A are their next 4. Arsenal H and Brighton A are the last 2, with a rearranged home game with Newcastle still to be scheduled.

They should be getting at least 3 wins from the next 4.

Liverpool should be at least 3 ahead here 

Linesman is 2 metres away from Maguire mauling Salah to the ground there, looking right at him

United look so open at the back - gaps everywhere

They wont go down - Cardiff have been rubbish for weeks now, they'll beat Rotherham too. 6 points might well be enough, but they'll probably scrape a win at Huddersfield as well.

I often wonder, do any Villa fans go onto opposition message boards and say hello ahead of when we've played European games this season? I think it's a nice touch, although that Legia guy was a bit of a tool - symptomatic of his fanbase I suppose.

I like Lille, they're probably my French team although I do quite like Marseille and Nantes. Anyway, allez (allez allez) le Villa.

Never mind top 4, they're going to be lucky to qualify for Europa League at this rate - Newcastle, West Ham, Brighton and Chelsea will all fancy overtaking them
