[The Esk]

What about 1906 esk?lol

We will have to rely upon an eye witness account from @Eggs, he was there.

Arsenal For me they have some great talent the likes of Sanchez Walcott Ramsey

3-0 win for Arsenal

@MoutsGoat you've indoctrinated the boy to cheer to for Arsenal too?

I'm calling the NSPCC

1966....a legend is born

One of my favourite memories as a child:

1973 FA Cup Final Sunderland 1 Leeds United 0

 

[49ers]

Nervously looking forward to tomorrow. Don't enjoy the favourites' tag as we normally go jelly-legged in those situations.

We'll probably make life incredibly hard for ourselves but regardless I expect it should be a good game for the neutral(Don't worry Fitzy, I don't mean you)

I'm predicting 3-2 win for either us or them, Benteke is guaranteed to get a goal against us, he always does.

Whatever the result, just so long as we turn up, as opposed to being turned over without a fight.

Enjoy the game lads, even if you're rooting for the underdog. Can't say I blame you. Anyone team that derails Stevie party train deserves support.

Listen out for both sets of fans singing Happy Birthday to Slippy

Anybody who wants Villa to win should set their minds back a few years when they thought they were a bigger club than us.

I know he doesnt play for them anymore, but surely the words Ashley Young should be enough for everybody to cheer Arse to victory.

Also, an Arsenal win gets Southampton into the Europa? Nothing like 2 games a week to hurt teams we should be finishing above.

What do you mean by bigger club? They're very much on a par with us trophy and history-wise and our fans probably talk about us being bigger than them in exactly the same way.

If Arsenal start at their best the game could be over after 15 minutes. But Villa will give it a go so anything could happen.

Arsenal to edge it, maybe a.e.t.

 

[The Equaliser]

Always surprised when I see EFC fans in Woolwich's corner. They are the RS of the south.

In fairness there isn't a better run club in England.

Villa are very similiar to us also insofar as they were also left behind in the rush to the Klondyke from the mid 90s onwards.

In actual fact they should have won the title circa 1993 but for Steve Bruce scoring twice against Sheffield Wednesday in the first recorded instance of "Fergie Time" at Old Trafford.

Less than twenty years ago Aston Villa dwarfed both Chelsea and Manchester City.

Everton and Aston Villa are the two best examples of under achievement in the EPL era.

But whereas we have had the excuse of underfunding, Villa did have the big buy out and the cash injection and for a brief period six of seven years ago looked to be stepping up before it all turned to dust.

Proving that a wealthy new owner is no guarantee of success.

Villa win means rs gotta play Europa qualifiers beginning in July. For that reason alone up the villa.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I see a lot of similarities between us and Villa

For that reason, I hope they bring the Cup home

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

And this just seals it

Up the Villa!
