• As commented earlier I used to love the FA Cup too. I remember being at Molineux in the pouring rain in ‘66 for the second replay against Man City with my Dad. The atmosphere was electric. Being at school on a Monday and finding who we were drawn against was always an event.Now the Cup is no longer considered a major tournament.My sons both in their thirties disregard it as anything worth worrying about.Although the Champions League has given us all the opportunity to watch the best of the best in action, it has in my opinion taken a lot away from the domestic game -- especially the FA Cup....

• He's scoring in Turkey, Alan. 7 in 17 in the league, 12 in 24 overall.He's an actual footballer, but I doubt he'd come to us. It's going well in Turkey, and Villa are linked.So, unless you're going to pay huge wages, we aren't getting him....

• Alan @ 235; surely there was a penalty practice / refresher hour at Finch Farm on Friday?? Penalties: 1) pick a corner. 2) stick to it. 3) 1ft in from the post...gives you a margin of error. 4) 3 or 4ft high*...again, gives you a margin of error. 5) Hit it hard. * Q) why 3 or 4 ft high? A) Goalies can dive but they can't fly, by the time they've reached the post...always assuming they've not got too clever and decided to pick a corner themselves come what may...gravity has them on the floor. There's even a way for keepers to 'read' / 'slightly anticipate'...without the need for a crib sheet on the water bottle...the direction the ball is going by watching the where the none kicking foot is facing. Penalty Coach? Gis a job, I can do that job....

• Barry and Beto f***ing useless and clueless more like. Plus no sending off for Moyes to hide behind. Also the sanctioning of that kit to replace our traditional blue home kit was a f***ing disgrace. It robbed us of our identity before a ball was even kicked. We're at home FFS disgraceful from the club f***ing disgraceful. ...

• Paul(#234); Yes, I noticed that but you can't be at the centre of the defence and have such a blocking record never mind be the point at which the rest of the defence should swing around but I think he was more indicating the poor header of Rohl or Garner, I think probably the first named, which played a major part in their goal. And BTW, my #235 would be as a transfer free temporary measure for this season....
