Have we even won a game in the FA Cup since the semi final under Sherwood?!

Either way, it’s been a while. I’d like to have a go at a few rounds before bowing out. Third round exit still stinks whether it’s Man Utd or Stevenage. 

Because it's probably (hopefully) a very long list?

I think we need a decent Frenchman in the team. We haven't had some since Ginola probably? I'm sure ever other team in the entire world has had one since then...

What do we do with Bjarnason?

There you go. My good deed of the day.

Well, you're a gentleman. Many thanks.

How are people proposing on getting back home tomorrow? I've never been to WHL and my knowledge of the underground is minimal, but obviously the strikes mean that the Victoria line is out of action from the full time whistle. I need to get back to Euston, any ideas?

Incredibly, my first game was Villa vs Chelsea at Wembley in the semi final in 2010. Someone I knew dropped out due to work and I managed to get their ticket. First Villa game, first time at Wembley too, first time I've ever been to a match with my dad...

First game at VP was the Rapid Vienna game under the lights one Thursday night, again in 2010. The one that knocked us out, but still had a great night. Also missed the last train to Worcester so had to get the night bus, but as we looked young and scared, the driver let us travel for 50p.

Might go and watch U21s take on Arsenal tonight.

Have not been to one of these before.  Can you sit anywhere in the ground or do fans tend to congregate in certain stands?

And also, can we be cheeky and park at the ground?

Here's what he looks like stats wise...

Morning chaps,

I found out this morning that despite my dad going to every game in his youth, because of arthritis and all sorts of other medical problems, he hasn't gone to Villa Park since the 90s.

Where is the best place for him to sit all game? He has to sit because standing would give him more pain etc.

Is it really sad that I've just clocked up 1000 hours on this? Thought so...

Not that there was a great deal of hope but we definitely won't be signing Kiyotake now as he's signed for Hannover for £4 million.

Don't tell JulieB

Divock Origi. 7 goals in 45 games for Lille. 1 in 7 for Belgium. Moves to Liverpool for a massive £10m.

Metro reporting Liverpool step up chase for Yedlin. Surely they can't be interested in everyone though?!

If he hadn't have scored for Belgium the other day, Liverpool wouldn't be remotely interested in Origi.

This is my first ever away game. I'm not expecting much but it's gonna be great to part of the away support.

I usually end up cheating in this game as Villa just to give myself a bit of a chance. I'm started one tonight without any cheating, spent nothing on players but released Hutton and Herd. Didn't win my first 8 Prem games trying to play fancy tiki take rubbish. For one game, went direct. Beat Palace 2-0 for my first win of the season.

It's so bad for Darren Bent at Fulham he's been replaced in the team by a 19 year old Cauley Woodrow who was loan at Southend in the early part of this season.

Another striker.

I struggle to know where to start with Villa. I keep starting again with various different teams but always seem to return to Villa. With such a limited budget, everyone is too expensive. I rely on plug and play tactics too much and when they don't work, I get annoyed. Am I the only one?

Wesley Sneijder

Lolley should be on tv soon too, Grimsby vs Kidderminster on BT Sport. Thursday 19.45 ko

Villa would be his stepping stone to Liverpool

What a horrible thing to read on a Monday morning!

Sorry, but it's probably the truth!

Villa would be his stepping stone to Liverpool

Michael Owen liked a goal against us. Balotelli as well.
