I know i've read that, he's getting alot of stick for that now from Villa fans. He's already walking on a thin line, comments like these don't do him any favours.

 

Quite rightly too, when the league results aren't great it would be nice to have a cup run to look forward to.

What a stupid thing to say. If the squad he's built is only good enough to just about stay in the league then Villa fans aren't going to be happy. What exactly is his long term aim there?

 

Then again Villa fans are never happy, are they?

 

Let's start a poll.

Villa at the moment are on course to finish the season mid table, so Lambert expects Villa fans to be happy with finishing mid table season after season and winning f*uck all, just shows his ambition!

Crawley vs Bristol Rovers called off. That's a second round game in a replay that has already been half played and abandoned, now postponed. Gonna be interesting to see how they're gonna fit all this in, will be 3 names on one ball in the 4th round draw.

I wonder what would happen if they played it and it was a draw after 90 minutes.

 

Surely at this stage it'd make sense to eschew the replay? There could very easily be a fixture backlog for the team who won the resulting third round tie otherwise.

Genuinely dunno what they're gonna do. 

 

Crawley's Twitter feed (about the most official thing I could be arsed trying to find lol) says tie (2nd round) to be played on Tuesday night between Crawley & Rovers. Then the winner plays Birmingham (3rd round) the Tuesday after, Jan 15th. Then hopefully no replay and they're caught up in time for round 4. Like you say if that 3rd round tie is a draw then they've got an absolute nightmare lol.

 

Or if Tuesday's game gets abandoned/postponed for a 3rd time!

It could very easily happen that way, it's not inconceivable that you could have Round 2, Round 3, Round 3 replay and then Round 4 in a matter of about a fortnight. That will have an impact on the league fixtures of any club, and we all know which competition the given club would prioritise.

 

Surely it'd make sense to play it at a neutral venue if it was postponed again?

Fantastic use of "eschew".

Manchester City have been a bit sloppy recently. Swansea away was already quite the lucky strike to get all three points home.

Blackburn are giving them a good run for the money - I take it Rhodes wants to impress, anyway.
