Got to give the Villa the Arkells. Isn't it a rule that some seats for away fans have to be covered.

I remember the FA Cup match against Villa on T.V, not Sky so I guess ITV. I was at Uni in norwich and was the only one in the Students Union that afternoon with any interest in it. It's a great tie because its actually more probable against Villa to get something from the game than one of the Big 5.

It was on BBC. The commentary box, containing Jimmy Hill and Alan Hansen, got pelted with coins live on air.

I'm sorry - but PdC is rarely disrespctful to opposition managers and usualy is in response to them attacking him . Like he did with Howe - I expect him to praise Lambert as a young manager who likes to play the game right

What a dick head , not you L/R . Villa might find they have a harder game than they had at City who will achieve nothing this season.

Chaps, it's only a bit of fun. Have you had a sense of humour failure? The writer does make a point of recognising PDC's ability to produce cup upsets. And I don't see any reference to PDC disrespecting anyone. I thought it was a well written and amusing little piece. And goodness me LR, if you think this is disrespectful, what would you think if someone described your club as a "crappy little club"?!

JW, you are right in saying this is a good indicator of how far we have come. Take a bow. It's you, along with Andrew Fitton, who has brought us to this point. I have no doubt that there is much more to come.

Whenever I think of Villa, two things come to mind: the 3-0 drubbing we got from Forest at Villa Park in 1967 and the 2-0 win there against Tommy Docherty's side a year or two later. The managers had to walk round the pitch to the dug-outs there in those days. Docherty got a fair bit of stick from the Town fans as he walked in front of us behind the goal. Seem to recall that Rod Thomas got a rare goal that day.

Changing the topic slightly interesting to see highlights that it was Nathan who couldn't get the right side of Charlie for his goal. Note to everyone he's not perfect....... yet......!!!!!!

PS when the prediction league results for Burnley game, finally entered and got score correct so might not be bottom any more!

Great news for you who am I.and the rest of the swindle fans who gave c.a abuse.
You can give your vile jeering to Ian culverhouse when he comes with villa.
After all he left for a bigger club and huge wage rise.
Onwards and upwards without fitton.

Den - first off - I did respond to you about transfers yesterday if you haven't seen it - I got the wrong end of the stick - so sorry about that

As for today - If the Villan had said we have been handed a very favourable draw as we head to league 1 opposition rather than Man U - then fair enough - its true!
.
Its the easy game comment and the last line - us to c0ck up (like we have no say!)
.
Had we got Bradford at Home - I would expect us to go through but wouldn't describe it as an easy game and for us to c0ck up
.
Also I was mainly refering to the comments about PdC and saying if you think Manchini was bad wait until you hear PdC
.
Yes he is insane and makes bizarre comments about driving the bus and his little chickens - but he has never been disrespectful to another manager in a build up (even his relatiation dig at Evans wasn't that disrespectful)
.
So why did he suggest he would be - because he is Italian? Let's not even open that can of worms!
.
Finally - I never named a single club when I said cr@ppy little clubs - so hard to affend anyone - when other put clubs names in that was THEIR views of them - NOT MINE!

There is a serious side to this. I hope the club looks after the regulars, which to be fair, they usually do. However, there is 5 weeks to the Villa game and plenty of opportunity for others to become "regulars" - so to all those thinking they can just come for a one-off, I hope the club say you have to attend at least 2 of the 3 home leagues games during the intervening period to qualify for the Villa game (discounts are already on offer). Only then if there are any tickets left should they go on general sale. Problem solved.

Somehow I think any regular Town fan who wants to see the game won't have any trouble getting a ticket.

Just when we thought we'd finally shaken off those "fans" who will kick the sh!t out of people just because they support the opposition....

But you will have first dibs on your seat up to a date declared by the club, so that seat is yours for the taking by you for the first so many days after details are announced, no stub needed.

So it's up to Villa if they want the full allocation or not
.
Wigan chose not - so home fans got it - but Villa are bigger and Birmingham is closer so they may well take it
.
Behind the "Big 5" this is probably the best draw - the TV revenue and exposure would be great but you know it won't be us on the box

Sadly, just when you thought the days of the football hooligan were all but over, somebody emerges from the remnants of the days when yobs purported to be supporters when all they were, were thugs. Seems like Jibberjab and his crew!!(are you Pugwash in disguise....are you..etc) are a mutation of that genre.

Jibberjab if you unable to grasp the meanings of some of the words I have used in my post them please do ask me and I'll try to explain in a manner you might be able to understand.

Meanwhile try and recognise that real people that have real friends who may actually support another team, and when those two teams meet it is only natural for them to meet up/have a beer/claim the bragging rights and afterwards shake hands until the next time without beating the cr@p out of them to use your rather juvenile language. Do us and the club a massive favour- turn the other cheek (oh that's the cheek on your face by the way) because not only will you bring the club you allege to support into disrepute but you'll probably ensure a fine from the Football League/FA.

The only plus side would be that hopefully you'd receive a football banning order and the County Ground would once again be a safer place for everybody without your yobbish presence.

Southside,

Probably very true, but it made me laugh. The only time I've been to Villa Park was a formal reception in the Holt Suite, and very nice it was to.

In fairness to Ellis he kept them debt free, a right rum pig-headed so and so according to many, but it was a club full of good assets when he sold it to Lerner, who I think is still learning about football in the Prem.

Loved your post though, and can see him doing it !!!

If I see any villa fans in the home end, my crew is going to kick the living **** out of them, what the **** do you think this is?? taking the home fans seats, **** like this **** me off.

Sadly, just when you thought the days of the football hooligan were all but over, somebody emerges from the remnants of the days when yobs purported to be supporters when all they were, were thugs. Seems like Jibberjab and his crew!!(are you Pugwash in disguise....are you..etc) are a mutation of that genre.

Jibberjab if you unable to grasp the meanings of some of the words I have used in my post them please do ask me and I'll try to explain in a manner you might be able to understand.

Meanwhile try and recognise that real people that have real friends who may actually support another team, and when those two teams meet it is only natural for them to meet up/have a beer/claim the bragging rights and afterwards shake hands until the next time without beating the cr@p out of them to use your rather juvenile language. Do us and the club a massive favour- turn the other cheek (oh that's the cheek on your face by the way) because not only will you bring the club you allege to support into disrepute but you'll probably ensure a fine from the Football League/FA.

The only plus side would be that hopefully you'd receive a football banning order and the County Ground would once again be a safer place for everybody without your yobbish presence.

Some of what you say is true but football is tribal and there is segregation for a reason. I'm not saying it's right, but it inevitably boils over if there are away fans in the home enclosure or vice versa. Also, football hooliganism has never gone away, it just moved out of the stadiums and into the surrounding streets as a result of CCTV.

One to ponder, "what if" Deadly Doug Ellis had appointed Canioman as one of his many managers years ago. Interesting I think.

Within 24hrs of appointment Di Canio would've ripped off the self-important Doug Ellis Stand sign from said stand and shoved it right up his big-headed, bourgeois ars£hole.

I went on a corporate thing when they played Tottenham in the Ginola days. It was very prawn sandwich, but interesting at the same time. John Gregory was manager at the time and very begrudginly (I don't blame him) gave us a tour of the ground before the game. Ellis came in afterwards with Dion Dublin on his debut. Ellis came across as very arrogant and formed my view of him since. Also have yet to meet a villa fan that liked him (as a person). Ginola was class that day, far and away the best player on the pitch.

Villa goals were scored by Dwight Yorke and Steve Froggatt.

Well said and put and a big thank you

Doubt he's a hooligan, more a ten year old on his dad's PC. And if he is one of the "SAS" then that really sums up the mentality. Idiots.

Southside, mine was a selected few (quite a large selected few, to a 75th birthday party, invitation only). Brilliant function and the caterers were first class.Superb food, but then again the guy could afford it. Didn't see Ellis as it wasn't a footie function, but the grounds were maintained to a superb level and the Holte suite was beautiful that day. All decked out with flowers etc. The function went from around 10:30am through till around 6pm then we were all off down to the Arena to see the guy perform on stage. Happy days.

Been looking on the Villa fan site as well.

Some say its a tricky tie and beware, but the majority seem to think that it's a nailed on win for them. Beat City, will stuff the Town.

Think again. We are a tough nut to crack and, I think, getting tougher.

Whether Burnley underestimated us, I don't know. They supposedly studied all our players and tactics. They started brightly, but after Benno's effort, had no answer.

If Villa are serious about the cup and put up a good team then, yes they probably will get the result.

On the other hand, don't underestimate how seriously Di Canio is taking this Cup. He WILL do his homework and he WILL have strategy to neutralise them. In the end we feel that we have a great chance with this tie, but if we lose, then so be it. If Villa lose, they will be so devistated it will be shameful.

Whats PdC Stats against higher teams?

I read the first post as tongue in cheek and a bit of fun....I hope I'm right on that one or....oh dear!!! ...

Sadly some muppet aged about 30 thought it good to pick on an OAP and then proceeded to verbally abuse a number of people around us and then managed to get so aggressive and in your face that we ended up with two petrified young kiddies. --- Testosterone fuelled chanting is always fine but I saw a Bristol Rovers fan kicked nearly to death in the Town End and it doesn't make you proud - No they shouldn't be there but it doesn't need certain responses. ----. Rant over and I'm going in the homoe end for Saturday's game v's Shrews & boy am I going to shout when we score!!

Sadly I don't think you were right old buddy that Jibberjab's post was meant tongue in cheek- it can't be can it because of the asterisk ridden content of the post.

Your experience is perhaps even more worrying because the events you describe also indicate a failure on behalf of the club's stewards to eject this yob? you don't say whether he was thrown out?

I totally agree that we don't need certain responses like Jibberjab's muppet (to use your wordlike attitude), .

There is absolutely no reason why we should not respect our fellow human beings is there? -regardless of which club they support.

Can't make this one so I hope you enjoy the "the homoe end for Saturday's game" - I thought the Shrew's had moved from Gay Meadow lol!! Make sure you bring back 3 points!

Doubt we'll see a response from Jibberjab -after all he's hardly got any valid argument eh?...and would probably need a dictionary to write a post without usibg an expletive,
