Villa (A) - FA Cup - 8/1/2021 - 19:45

[an tha]

Can see this being called off.

 

They'll say they can't test before tomorrow to provide a cleared squad and the panel will call it off.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Do we get a bye to the next round?

Derby have to play their kids against Chorley so Villa should do the same. We're probably playing ours anyway so it evens it out the fucking brummie twats.

We might have a chance of winning a game if it goes ahead.

They'll argue that because they did tests Monday which was the first load of positive results and then again on Weds which returned more positives and led to closure of training ground that they can't test and get results again to be able to clear a squad.....

SSN news saying FA advising clubs to field whatever sides they can to get fixture fullfilled because of fixture pile up.

 

Villa U10's it is then.

[Em City]

After the League Cup last year, we should play the full team and go mad after celebrating every goal.

 

Although, with the way we're playing, it wouldn't shock me to see the U-12s squeak a 1 - 0 win.

[aws]

Going by our luck this season we'll catch it off whoever they field. 

[dockers_strike]

Tie is in doubt as villa forced to close training ground due to covid outbreak.

 

Soz, see Im late to the party with this news!

[dockers_strike]

George Sephton says its off, on Twatter apparently.

Not surprised.

Well, if there was ever a possibility of fielding a strongish team in the FA Cupmthis year, that’s definitely gone now. We can’t put any sort of stock in it given the CL and a potential title / top four race.

[VladimirIlyich]

We're in a lockdown yet football is continuing?What a clusterfuck.

That's got to be the worry.

Klopp will be pissed having to play in the 4th round. Think we should concede the game

[3 Stacks]

Who honestly gives a fuck about this game? The FA Cup is dead anyway, just cancel the game and throw both teams out. Won't make a lick of difference.

I'm increasingly suspicious of these recent call-offs for smaller PL teams with knackered tiny squads. 

 

If players are catching it then the clubs are failing to put in place proper measures.  They shouldn't be rewarded at the expense of teams that are safeguarding players.

The way things are going, we'll be the ones kicked out of the tournament. And there'll be some corporal punishment for our players. And Chris Sutton will write a shitty column blaming Klopp. 

[Crazy Dave]

Looks like it's the Villa under 23's or a bye to the next round.

When big macs are considered essential, it's not a lock down. 

[suzy]

SSN still not saying it’s off.
