slowandlow Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Gutted tbh. Cant see us beating them more than once in a season. Would kill to see the villa win the fa cup. Or any major trophy tbh. Was fortunate enough to be there in 94 and 96 as a youngster but it's been far too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaJ100 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 newcastle v cambridge will be shown i think as best chance of an upset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 It will probably be the Saturday tea time kick off I presume on the BBC with Gary bloody Lineker and Dion Dublin. The content will be 70% Manchester United 20% Steven Gerrard and 10% Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super optimistic. 1% might be more like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I get the feeling this Gerrard fella will be going all out to win everything. Top billing, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WakefieldVillan Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Just now, Zatman said: I think the only way we dont play our strongest team is if we are in a relegation battle I agree. In the Gerrard interview with Carragher that was shown before the Leicester match he said he wanted European football and to win a (FA) cup in the future, add to that we are playing a team he would love to get the better of then I think it's a given we will go as full strength as possible. So maybe not the ideal draw in terms of progressing (I still think we have a good chance) but I think it is a tie that will definitely appeal to our fan base, with a decent allocation and no doubt a loud travelling army - I think this will definitely be picked for TV viewing. It is not as daunting as it would have been in previous seasons and the players can take lots of confidence from the result at OT earlier this season - I think it could be a classic! which we will win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exeter Fan Too Posted December 7, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted December 7, 2021 Bound to be live on tv. This year there's been oodles of games each round. with some shown on BBC and many on ITV4! Plenty of opportunity to mix the 'all premier' tie with the games involving the underdogs. (though many of the underdogs are away which reduces attractiveness for tv) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
