    You can get 12's for Milner to score 1st goal with corals...

    All you need to no if you fancy a punt folks...

    Do they think Milner is still injured? 12/1 would be reasonable odds if he was in the stands but surely these are way off the mark if he's playing!

    You can get 4/1 for him to score anytime... also with corals

    On a side note, the Lancashire Telegraph reports yesterday that BRFC are 'hoping' for a gate of 20,000 (including Villa fans) tomorrow, although they have only sold 11,500 tickets to home fans. I know we already knew it, but what disgraceful support.

    I hate to tempt fate, but:

    1. We have MUCH better support (sorry for stating the obvious).

    2. We have a FAR superior team.

    3. They have key players injured, we have no fresh doubts.

    4. We have more players in our first team that have never reached a final (therefore in theory, more determination to get there)

    5. We play away first, then take them back to ours (which is the favoured scenario).

    Quite simply, we will NEVER have a better chance of getting back to Wembley. And if we can't beat this pathetic club over two legs, then we don't bloody deserve to get there!

    Come On You Villaaaaa Boyssssss 8)

    Mmmmm See leeds utd at OT...

    Massively different circumstances to be fair though mate. You can't really use that as an example.

    Not really mate... you cant say leeds winning at ot was not an upset?..

    Listen - I know what the rules are - and I know what SHOULD happen.

    What I am saying is it would be logistcally impossible for Villa to do it, and we would presumably have to bite the bullet and play the home leg first.

    Think about it.

    We have sold over 40,000 tickets for a game that is happening next week. If it was re-arranged, Villa would have to re-issue all those tickets for an unconfirmed date (in itself virtually impossible). Look at this week, they had a 100 or so returns and that had to be done on a voucher basis - can you imagine 40,000 tickets to do !

    We would also lose TV revenue as, any other week there are premier fixtures, FA Cup or Champions League on the telly - so we wouldn't be on TV

    If we re-arranged it - first of all we would have to get Arsenals permission, which they may give, but I bloody doubt Arsenal will create their own fixture pile up that could cost them the league and Champions League for our benefit - it won't happen.

    So the next possible date is Feb 3rd (although dont know if Blackburn have any commitments).

    So Villa / Blackburn / Leauge have two options.

    Just play the Villa leg on Wednesday and least they only have to worry about a logistical nightmare re-arranging one game - or re-arrange both and it will cause chaos.

    Other matters no one has thought of.

    Don't you think the Villa have had to book and pay for police assistance for next Wednesday. What happens if Blues are playing Feb 3rd , are Burney playing next Wednesday at home ...etc....etc....etc......

    It would cause chaos - mark my words - if Thursday is off - the Villa Park leg will be Wednesday.

    The only option Villa would have is to request the Blackburn leg be played Monday.

    Not far fetched - we played Liverpool and Arsenal in 48 hours - AND LOST (another thing that I am sure Allerdyce may look at - he ain't daft !)

    EDIT

    I forgot - we cant play Monday - we've got West Ham Sunday !! - (which just shows how hard it would be to re-arrange two games)

    Sorry mate... But this has to be the most ludicrous post of the year and still only in january!.. As sure as night follows day villa will play the away leg first... even if it snows till march!

    I think people are being harsh on Wigan.

    The article says the undersoil heating has been running on full power for over a fortnight - it's just sod's law that it broke down at 5pm last night and they couldn't get the parts to fix it at such short notice.

    I very much doubt putting covers on would have made a big difference. Not sure what more Wigan could have done.

    Pretty much agree with this!.. But maybe they could of got the blowers on the go...

    Sounds like the Premier League are the one's delaying things.

    Rovers' officials have expressed 'deep frustration' over the delay in announcing a new date for the Carling Cup semi-final with Aston Villa at Ewood Park.

    The home leg of the semi-final, scheduled for last night, was postponed due to the adverse weather conditions.

    Rovers' managing director Tom Finn said: "It is all very unsatisfactory and we fully understand the frustrations being experienced by our supporters. We feel equally disappointed by the delay.

    "Regrettably, we are still awaiting news from the Premier League and, therefore, are not in a position to confirm a new date for either the cup tie or any other fixtures that may or may not be affected.

    "We feel it is totally unacceptable, but we want our fans to know that we are continuing to make every effort to get a decision at the earliest opportunity."
