Re: 5th round draw - ASTON VILLA away

And Birmingham City are scheduled to be playing at 12:30 on the Saturday at home to Wycombe - live on Sky.

On the same pitch?

On the same pitch?

Doubtful, although I read somewhere they play in the same city.

Re: 5th round draw - ASTON VILLA away

I’ve just checked and in fact Birmingham and Villa have twice played home games on the same days this season. Both midweek matches. That’s surprised me.

The previous games this season that were allowed to go ahead in Birmingham on the same day (first time since 2010 apparently):

Villa v Bologna
Brum v Bolton

And then just over a month later:

Villa v Brentford
Brum v Stockport

Villa’s most likely opponent in the Champions League is Dortmund (if they beat Atlanta). Assume they’ll be away in the 1st leg

I don't understand the negativity shown on here. If we're not prepared for any eventuality why enter the damn competition. We're playing one of the best teams in the country, we'll be getting a sizeable chunk of date receipts and offer a great day out for our travelling supporters.

For those bemoaning our luck, we hit the jackpot by drawing Barnsley in the FA Cup Semi Final resulting in a never to be forgotten experience of seeing my team in an FA Cup Final.

You have just answered your own question.

In 2008 we didn’t face a team anywhere near as good as Villa.

We’ll get hammered which will be damaging hence we may as well sacrifice the kids.

I for one won’t be watching.

Yeah a decent away day, sure we will lose but then we probably would at Preston, Fulham Ipswich etc too and we’ve done all of them to death….

You won't be watching your club play in the FA Cup 5th round? Really?

Madness eh….

Re: 5th round draw - ASTON VILLA away

A club not doing quite as well as them would have been better but if you want to win the cup you have to beat someone at some point

If they make changes and take us lightly we have a slim chance, we can't be making changes to get people minutes though, just has to be our best possible team.

5th round is when it gets interesting, I always remember the Wolves win at home with the Hasselbaink screamer.

Has to be the first team and hope Villa have their eye on their Champions League match

It does have to be the first team, anything else is disrespectful and plain ****ing ridiculous.
