Villa Again and again

Watched the thrilling and very muddy FA Cup tie on BBC1 - Harrogate Railway Athletic coming from 1-3 down to make a game of it. I kept wiping the tv screen but it was the cameras splashed with lashing rain. Mansfield won 2-3....

Then comes to draw for the January, third round tie. The number to listen out for was 24. Yet again it's Aston Villa. That's the 4th time in 7 seasons. On a positive note its an away tie - so save £33, and it surely must be on tv. The positive will be that a full strength side will play. Not one of those tinkered make-shift set up that gets you a draw with Burton Albion, or Exeter City and a not needed replay. This time last year United beat them at home with goals by Larsson and Ole in injury time, neither who play for us anymore.
