I just hope at least we don't have to have a replay, saying that with our season don't think it will make any difference anymore.


Replays are great occasions for lower league clubs, but it's rare they win them if they are away from home. I'd back you to beat Wycombe at Villa Park.
Wycombe will be a good test for Villa. They lose here, the morale in that squad will be at the lowest probably. Win here, get back to winning ways or try.

Feel that this game probably has a bit more meaning than just an FA Cup tie right now.
Another cup upset to start the weekend as Villa hold Wycombe to a draw

Stoke scored a great couple of goals today. Doncaster were unlucky not to get something, but Walters' winner was fantastic and it was great to see Crouch scoring again now that he's back fit.

Just shows the depth Hughes has at his disposal now.
First big shock has now happened, Oxford have knocked Swansea out 3-2, see how Scunthorpe get on against Chelsea.

Well deserved. Oxford were completely on point, and the crowd fed their belief and ability. Three very different goals which showed their strengths and characteristics - a calm penalty after falling behind, a delightful curved second, and an incisive third.

Not the start Curtis wanted.

Indeed

I was expecting us to lose
Scunthorpe were unlucky not to have a penalty against Chelsea. Spurs are currently beating Leicester.
If that was a penalty then I'm the pope. Disgraceful from Madley, so can we not pretend Kane is anything other than a **** player and a horse faced gimp please BBC?
Leicester were robbed that was clearly not a penalty. It's a shame when **** referees ruin good games with silly decisions like that.
Never a penalty and if we're going to be judging these decisions when video replays come in in slow motion like that then there's no hope. It's always going to look much worse in slow motion but you see that in real time and it's a nothing incident.

even if its in slow motion you can clearly see he has no clue he wasn't even looking at the ball and as he turned hit his fingers....how on earth would that be a "deliberate" handball.....

crazy!
Final game tonight Cardiff v Shrewsbury, hardly anyone in the ground though.
Fifth game in a row we've had an awful penalty decision vs spurs - Mahrez stamped on by Vertonghen back in August, their penalty for a dive in March, Kramaric getting booked for being wiped out by Vorm in the fa cup last season and the home league game in 2014 where Vardy got cropped by Vertonghen and all we got was a corner. It's getting ridiculous now.
Anyone see the cat on the pitch at Everton yesterday?
