Beta Ray Bill Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 As well as Rover's number missing, ITV listed "Arsenal or Leeds Untied" Highly professional unit, ITV Sport!

Amo Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 As soon as Villa were drawn, I bet I wasn't the only one who held his breath. Knew it would be us...
brfcshabba Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 8 times by end of season if there is no replay 4th time in the cup in more or less the space of a year No it would be 10 if there is a replay 10/11 2 League, 2 FA Cup, 1 League Cup 09/10 2 League, 1 FA Cup, 2 League Cup
RevidgeBlue Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Terrible draw. At home would have been so-so, but away to a Prem side? The only positive I can draw out of it is that it will be a very accurate test of Steve Kean's credentials as opposed to Sam's. If Kean wins the tie perhaps people will shut up about Sam for five minutes.
philipl Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Very poor draw all round in the 4th round. We are one of potentially 5 all Prem ties. Villa under Houllier are not the force we faced in the most recent away ties.
roversmum Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Still, if Samba goes to Villa, he'll give away a penalty to us and get sent off Fed up with that place. Another two trips there this season then. Shoved up on a platform in the middle of the Villa fans. Gah
MarkBRFC Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 I knew it would happen. Every freaking season. Well, to be fair its only happened last season and this season. Not good but theres no point crying about it. Hopefully we can beat them, that way we can definatly avoid them in the 5th round draw.
Backroom Tom Posted January 9, 2011 Author Backroom Posted January 9, 2011 What a load of rubbish, about the worst draw possible I would rather even united away I'm just sick of bloody Villa.
Nafe_rovers Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 why does everyone hate Villa... I think we'll win this year ... hopefully cheap tickets too!
RevidgeBlue Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 What a load of rubbish, about the worst draw possible I would rather even united away I'm just sick of bloody Villa. Pain in the rearend getting them again but it turns into a good draw if we win it and its another Premiership side out. Got to be positive.
sparky12 Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 As well as Rover's number missing, ITV listed "Arsenal or Leeds Untied" Highly professional unit, ITV Sport! don't get it... thats what their called!!
roversmum Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 why does everyone hate Villa... I think we'll win this year ... hopefully cheap tickets too! Fed up with going there. Wanted a change. Sparky 12: "United" - and it's what they're (they are) called, not "Untied" Phew. Was just checking, thought for a crazy minute there that one match followed the other. The cup match should be on or around Saturday 29th January, and the league match is on Saturday 26th February ...
Hughesy Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 don't get it... thats what their called!! United or Untied?
jim mk2 Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 If Kean wins the tie perhaps people will shut up about Sam for five minutes. And if Rovers win the tie perhaps people will shut up about Kean for five minutes. Hopefully we can beat this lot this time ...... on the supporters scale of annoying fans Villa are in the top bracket with those of Spurs and Arsenal.
Hughesy Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 5 prem teams already out 2 facing replays Gauranteed that at least 4 more will go in the next round from all prem ties Progress at Villa away and its a MASSIVE step forward
philipl Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Ah well, we are off to Stamford Bridge after they had 20 shots on target scoring from 7 of them....
BuckyRover Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 The woman from ESPN when talking about Leicester earning a replay at City described it as the "stuff of dreams" for Leicester fans. Not quite
sparky12 Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 United or Untied? ahhhh fair enough!! didnt spot that one.... taxi!!
tony gale's mic Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 The only positive I can draw out of it is that it will be a very accurate test of Steve Kean's credentials as opposed to Sam's. If Kean wins the tie perhaps people will shut up about Sam for five minutes. An accurate test of Steve Kean's credentials as opposed to Sam's can only be done after a couple of seasons. It's one thing to achieve success in individual matches, get a new manager bounce or even have a good season. It's another thing to have sustained success over multiple seasons with different clubs.
Steve Moss Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 The only positive I can draw out of it is that it will be a very accurate test of Steve Kean's credentials as opposed to Sam's. If Kean wins the tie perhaps people will shut up about Sam for five minutes. Deal. In all seriousness, I think its a match we can win. 5 prem teams already out 2 facing replays Gauranteed that at least 4 more will go in the next round from all prem ties Progress at Villa away and its a MASSIVE step forward So let's win it then. Why not shoot for a cup final?
bazza Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Deal. In all seriousness, I think its a match we can win. So let's win it then. Why not shoot for a cup final? Why not indeed! We have as good a chance as them to progress. Time it was us. We could have had a much worse draw. I wonder what Trent Villa thinks.
John Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Awesome to see Chelsea get their scoring boots on ahead of their next league fixture....
