Nathan Baker is out injured, but Andi Weimann is available and Fabian Delph and Shay Given have a chance of being fit
So we have the defensive dilemma once again, we could either put Lowton in the middle and Lichaj on the right, or go 442 with Clark and Vlaar at the back and bring Bannan (shudders) into the middle
I personally dont want Bannan on the pitch but with Westwood cup tied we dont have many options
Should be a great occasion at the very least and I hope a Villa win, but you never know with the cup! (cue mass WUM'ing)

Chronic loves this board doesn't he. I'm sure he likes giving it the bug un on his own board but this is like his summer home. If there's nothing interesting on The Spurs board or if the mass delusion on there gets too much for him he likes to grace us with his presence.
Maybe he comes here to talk smack which is most of the time or he just wants to talk with fans that have a sense of realism about their own club.
We know we're hovering over an abyss and have been for 3 seasons. We know it's about as bad as it can get Chronic. The thing is.........we'll ALWAYS be a bigger club than your beloved. Even Leeds are bigger than Spurs. They accept their current position though as do we. We know our place right now and it's dire.
You'll never be an elite club in English Football, who cares if you get The Wenger Top 4 Trophy? Spurs fans sound like him more and more each passing day.
Most delusional fans we'll ever see in The Premiership.

Ouch indeed Andy but everyone knows it's true.
Chronic is a plank, but kind of an endearing plank

Just listened to the rambling of Lambert on the radio.We know we're underdogs but he seems to think the crowd will win the tie for you.
Which one of the crowd is playing left back and how many are coming on to defend corners(assuming we are allowed them)?
The pressure is all on the Villa team for as far as we are concerned"It's only a cup we don't give.....etc"

Depends all on the day Edinburgh Bantam.
All I would say it and is not being patronising is that we could well beat you by two goals and then pens. But you are good at them
We may well not beat you at all but you are of a similar standard to my other team Torquay and I would hope we would beat them by the same.
It's a funny ole game tho
If you win I wish you all the best and there will be no sour grapes.

Andy
You are correct we are as inconsistent as Torquay but we have a well qualified manager who is articulate,gets across his message to his players and is capable of making game changing substitutions.
May the best team win tomorrow and all the best for the rest of the season.
Whatever happens the main priority is promotion from the 4th division.This cup run and media exposure has been a bonus.

Torquay have a well qualified manager too and they are struggling

you what?
Villa bigger than spurs?
You are making me laugh
Just because you won a load of leagues in the 1800s before anyone else existed doesn't make you big
Cue you rushing to tell me about your European cup once upon a time
You can't even get a sell out. You have won nothing since about 1996
And I wonder when your last trophy before that was
As for Leeds being bigger. LOL !!!
