First off, I haven't seen the match yet and while I know I will, I can also say it won't be tonight or tomorrow morning despite having the opportunity, so this is very much just a new post to say 'we won'; woop wopp.
I don't know specifically why I didn't particularly feel that up for this match today though. I know that to some extent it is the manager resting so many players and on the face of things not wanting to win it and I know why he has done that, so I don't need telling but I don't think that is the only reason.
I don't think the FA Cup has the magic it used to have and basically, I'd almost given up on it. I might get more into it if we put out a full strength team for the next round, but I need to believe the manager is taking this tournament seriously for me to take it seriously.
Anyway, enough of me. To the match. Nathan Delfouneso got the first, King Cuellar got the second and John Carew scored the third with minutes to go from the penalty spot. Talking of penalties though; Brad Guzan saved another.
So, we are in and on that result you have to fancy we will be able to go to Blackburn on Tuesday night and get the right result to set up the second leg at Villa Park on January 20th.
So, that is it. I might or might not do a more in depth look at the match on another day but with only 25,453 going to this match - it appears that the magic of the FA Cup is dead for quite a few more than just me.

... SCOTT1 words mean nothing. actions and in this particular instance attendance. did you think he reall 'wanted' to win when you read the team squad for hamburg or the squad for moscow? if you did, then i am surprised. if after reading all his comments this week about making changes - to rest and have players ready for tuesday - if you still thought he was putting out a team to win, again i am surprised he isn't going to say 'i dont want to win' but this is his 4th season - last season he used less players than anyone else in the league and we all know he would only play 11 players if he could ofcourse he 'wants' to win but he didn't set up to win |

... Come on Damo, he puts Milner,Dunne and Gabb out there after how many games on the spin, on a snowy day and one gets crocked and he's not rotated, he puts others out and he doesn't want to win? We have had three seasons bleating about the lack of depth in the squad, now he jiggles things a bit and he's a defeatist, You cannot argue that this side today is the same kind of thing he did to us last season with the European Herring trophy, that was a slap in the face, this was mostly sensible given the run of fixtures we have in grim northern hell holes. |

... Winning and losing are habits. That's why it was important for Aston Villa to get back to winning today. Even better MON used some of the squad today and some key folks got a rest. A result on Tuesday and everyone should be in a good frame of mind for Wigan away next week. |
scott harwood
said:

... yeah but damo if the blackburn match was a week or a week and half away and our next match wasnt till next saturday i fully believe we wouldve had a full strength team out.either way we r thru thats all that matters. |

... any chance of a link for where I can see the goals on ITV...had a look but can't find them....cheers for what it's worth a good result today I thought and nice to see that we have at least some depth in our squad. Let's hope we win on Tuesday as well, which I think we should do. Up the Villa ps I've just started an Edinburgh branch of the Villa lions so any Villa fans in Scotland drop me a line... |

... Back From the Game Dunno why Delph was taken off doing well unless it was just to kill the game putting on Sidwell Normal Shite 2nd half, for me i would have rested ash or heskey even Wornock as he may of had a knock. Beye was awfull but Downing not showing anything corners are awful an Ashley looked a lot better but him out of sorts is 2ce the player downing is |

... SCOTT1 you are right - we are through - that is all that matters Summer of George i have to clear this up as i am not saying martin o'neill doesn't want to win. and ultimately, he has today, so it doesn't matter my point is, you cant call it a slap in the face in germany and russia and not a slap in the face today and had we not got blackburn and we played a full strength team without a semi final on tuesday it might have been different - we were lucky that it was blackburn but we are through - it doesn't matter. 4th season though and still getting slaps in face - imagine what it would be like if we actually got into the champions league - o'neill would be lost |

... beye was NOT awful, he made some decent challenges! look a bit rusty as you would! same with Collins! we dominated tbh! young had a one on one which he hit straight at the keeper! heskey has a one on one which he fluffed and got tackled on! delph was a class above blackburns team, first half he was brilliant got tackles in and play some great balls through! reo coker was MOTM! he was always getting his foot on driving forward! there penalty was horsesh*t! and guzan dropped the ball for their goal! shocking really! game shouldve been out of sight in first half! complete gulf in class! |

... first off, i was at the game today, and far from ur comment about martin not setting up to win or whatever, i think you're being a bit naive. MON knew we were playing blackburn, and knew blackburn were also going to make changes, knowing that blackburn, like us, have an important semi next week. MON also knew we have much stronger depth than blackburn. i call that good managerial ability. i dont like all this negative talk about MON still. secondly, a bit of a comment on ashley young and the reasons for his dip in form with contrast to last year. today he was a threat, and a bit part of that was fabian delph and i realised that HE is missing barry. a left footed centre mid to open up the play and switch it to him. the right footers like petrov play the ball a little bit behind him so he has to come back to get it, whilst a barry or delph has the angle to play a slick pass infront of him. just a comment |

... Damo - hogwash. The guy is damned of he makes changes and damned if he doesb't. Let's not pretend that we would have finished 4th last season with you or anyone else on this blog in charge. It's fine to disagree with MON - I'm sure we all have on more than one occasion in the last 4 years - but anyone at all who comes on here making out that theu know more about managing a Prem football club than MON is a joke. So many "If"s in your last post as to render it meaningless - this vlog is and has been far better than that, |

Damian....Did you get out of bed the wrong side today...i'd love to find out how MON copes in CL and lets face it, who have we had since the 80s that has given us a sniff.... Currently watching Reading v Liverpool ...Now there is a dodgy Manager, if you want to discus lost in Europe.. Come on Reading...ha ha |
Damian
said:

... Dave J we won - it was a great result and it's not about him changing or not changing its about he way he does it. if he truly had faith in those players that he put in today then they would be getting the odd game through the season and not just waiting for something like this to happen, again. like i've said above - i've not see the mathc but by all account delph, beye and reo-coker had very good matches and emile was a little absent - does that mean emile will get dropped and th eother 3 start on tuesday? i think we all know the answer - as o'neill will play his favourites |
Daniel Wilson

... Mon played it perfectly today. He put out a good mix of youth and ability, gave some players who havn't had a lot of pitch time recently a run out and then the master stroke, he rests our best player completley, not even putting him on the bench, so Blackburn won't know what hit them when Salifou strolls out at Ewood park on Tueday. Up the Villa, I smell a cup double! |
Mike Carter
said:
 |
... Maybe MON is planning on starting Delph on Tuesday? Still doesn't really explain subbing him. |
Shane Black
said:

... Delph And NRC were class in the 1st half. We had so many chances to score. Don't drop NRC to the bench. Shame about Delph unable to play the 2nd half. Sidwell brings nothing to the team. |
frem
said:
 |
... damian- what are you on about. The way we played first half showed we wanted to win. It was atack after atack. We should of scored at least two more goals aswell. Anyway, more talk around me in the Holt about this transfer window and they all want Keane. After watching reo and sid, sid has to go. It was iether backwords or sidewords with sid. Reo was good, infact he was class. |
Dave J
said:
 |
... Damo - someone has to put their hand up and demand selection when they get the chance. Fonz scored I know but his all round play did not convince. Beye and Collins were ok but no more and emule did next to nothing. The one exception was Delph. No need to pick sidwell again IMHO - shame he got a knock. I do take your point about doing this piece by piece but if none of the back ups are showing form that demands selection then why change it? They are all his signings now and it's up to those who aren't in the side to change the status quo surely? |
sean
said:

... mon said in the post match that delph had been ill the last couple of days and that it was a miracle he even played today so that's why he got subbed. we got the job done today and well diouf is out for tuesday night which will be a very different game i'm sure. we're in the next round and i kind of agree about the magic of the fa cup having faded. it's such a shame because i used to love this competition and i would really love it if we won it. it's because of all the money in the pl and cl etc why it has kind of lost it's way at little, and it's not so appealing, but it's still a fantastic trophy, imo. |

... good to see reo back getting a good game in. everyone seems to be throwing their shit damians way. its very simple, as this is his blog, he can say what he wants. u dont have to read it...so really? i could say mon is the devil, and SAF is a god, and liverpool are the future of modern football, and what can all u really do about it? it my opinion, if its wrong, who are u to change it. IF UR CONSTANTLY GOING AGAINST DAMIAMS OPINION, GET THE f**k OVER IT AND LEAVE. with that said, i do not always agree with it, but i certainly dont start calling him fickle and shit like that. to the game, sounds like a good sound win, as everyone is saying we outplayed them. comon a jan signing to boost the moral and team on to top 4, and the league cup!

... Interesting comment by MON after the game: We are hoping to get a couple of players in because it is a long season ahead of us. Maybe he has something in mind now? A few weeks ago he suggested that, although things change, he didn't plan to buy anyone. |

... it seems to me MON can not do right for doing wrong amongst the so called experts on this blog they moan the squad is to small then when he buys and gives us a stronger bench and plays them he still gets slated for not playing his strongest team.and is deemed not interested in fa cup.and spout rubbish if the squad players are good enough then why dont he use them in premier league well up untill arsenal liverpool game we were on a unbeaten run,so i say personally DONT change things why mend somethink thats not broken. what has the MON got too do to earn respect from some of you on here,or are you better qualified to do the job, we won end of day 3-1 so it was blackburn and not man-u who cares were in the hat,DAMMO it seems to me you are neva satisfied no matter how our great team are doing and you always put forward your negative views which your fully entitled to do so, but ive yet to see you post positive words on this blog so you actually set the tone of the thread mostly.then on come all the doom gloomers.could you not post a positive thread praising the efforts of the team in a match for a change. yes i know a blog is all about diffrent views n opinions this is just mine, |

... went to the game today, really enjoyed it and the score line almost flattered Blackburn...agree with a previous comment about MON knowing that Blackburn were going to rest players for the semi-final and it basically came down to who had the stronger squad today, and apart from just after halftime where we lost our way a bit and got a bit lazy, the gulf in class between the teams was clear! Delph was taken off as he had the flu for the passed couple of days, but what a great first half from him! Reo and him were all over Blackburn and I thought Reo-Coker did his usual snappy tackling and actually managed to pass the ball quite well, so credit to him (I still think his passing and vision is woefully below par for a top 10 premiership club midfielder) but his work rate and tackling and the general defensive side of his game is right up there). That said I liked the Reo-Coker and Delph pairing in the middle and may well see this more often at some point this season or start of next as Petrov gets older and plays less. Sidwell is an able replacement but overall I think he has been dissappointing and just seems to completely lack confidence, which I think ReoCoker lacks sometimes but always has his fitness and tackling to fall back on. Delfouneso played really well up front and made Heskey look a bit ordinary at times, although I feel Heskey has alot to offer to a young player like him in terms of advice...probably on how not to finish... Beye is a more than able replacement for L.Young, however much prefer Luke as I think he is easily top 3 right back in prem. Nice to see Webcam get a bit of confidence back, although he should have finished that one on one, made two goals today though! Very encouraged and our slow but ultimately lasting improvement to our beloved team is evident on days like this, in my opinion MON is turning us into a top4 or 5 force by end of next season or even the season after, but once there, the way MON is going, we will be there to stay! very pleased villa fan! |

Paul Theiss
said:
|
... Damo: I quoted that only because it's interesting that MON has changed his tune after saying the exact opposite just a few weeks ago. Did the losses to Arsenal and Liverpool change his opinion about the our strengths and weaknesses? I think we're pretty close, to be honest. I would get Parker in for Sidwell and wouldn't mind seeing Jones in for Carew. |
Damian
said:
|
... Villain-from-Texas Yes - I guessed. I was just adding my two cents to demonstrate that you don't have to have played as a professional for 12 years to know what is needed for us to have any chance of finishing in the top 4 ... |

... I went today and was very impressed by the overall display. We badly lack the killer touch up front, which needs to be sorted big time this Jan, but for many periods of the game it was like a practice match - either we were that good or Blackburn that poor. The magic of the cup? This game was always going to be about two under strength sides competing in a half empty stadium as the game on Tuesday had to take priority. I'm off up Blackburn on Tuesday afternoon and am going there thinking whatever side we put out will be too strong for them. |

... I think it's hard to get excited about the FA Cup at this stage, but I'm sure we'll all feel the magic if we're still in it when the semi-finals come around. Maybe it's lost it's magic because, over recent years, bar the Pompey/Cardiff final, it seems like it's belonged to the horrible "Top 4", meaning every year we enter we don't really feel like we have a chance of winning it. |
Paul Theiss
said:
|
... Damo: The thing about new signings is, to improve, we need players who would walk straight into our starting eleven. And can anyone out there honestly name a realistic target who would walk straight into our side? I certainly can't. But MON has always surprised me. |

... Damian you're contridicting yourself. On the one hand you moan that MON doesn't use the squad and then when he does you call it a slap in the face. Get a grip. I'd like to see more bench players used in league games but not at the expense of points and until we lost the last 2 we had won 5 on the trot. The tone of your post almost sounds like you were a bit gutted we won because you weren't proved right. |
John R
said:

... Normal service is resumed. Good result and some of the squad players got a chance to show what they could do. By all accounts Delf did ok. The FA cup has always been special for me and I find it sad that it seems to have lost it's magic.I feel confident that Villa will get a result on Tuesday. UTV |
Richard Hudson
said:
 |
... Just wondered what peoples opinion would be of playing Fonz with Gabby and changing our striking "philosophy" of using a target man all the time? Heskey doesn't score enough goals and JC tends to drift in and out. Our weakness is our strike rate, look at the Spuds and Citeh and that's where they are stronger than us. Sounds like Delph could be an exciting midfield attacking option during the second half of the season. |
Damian
said:
|
... Bakewell i'm not contradicting myself and i also only said it was a slap in the face if moscow and hamburg was a slap in the face. you have to put things into context and not read as black and white also, with reference to my tone, look it isn't just me that thinks the fa cup is a bit of a joke these days - look at the attendance today and for the love of god, if you think i am gutted because i am not proven right over the third round of the fa cup when i was proven right last season, christ, some have short memories |
Damian
said:

... Villain-from-Texas what is realistic target though; as in, how do you define what is realistic or not? for me, realistic is ruud van nistlerooy and rafael van der vaart in january - but you might say no it's not and i'll say prove it and you'll say you cant and you'll ask me how i know they are realistic and i'll say i cant and we'll dance, go round in circles and we will never know general krulak once said that if martin o'neill wanted a £30mn player he could have him. i also think general krulak is here just for PR but many don't, or actually didn't. they might now. but lets assume, because he is an employee of lenrer that what is is saying is the truth. we all know you cant have a £30mn player on £35k a week. a £30mn player will cost you £120k a week plus - so we have to assume that salary is irrelevant and i think that is fair to assume, then we can have those two that i've mentioned and between now and the end of the season - i really think they could make an impact and i really think with two players of that quality - we could, if they remained injury free and we continued the development of our passing game break into the top four. but you'll tell me they are unrealistic, or you might and my response to that would be, that if we have real targets of top four football, we need two real players of that quality and of that i think you might agree some might even say though that it doesn't matter who we sign, our football is still shit and actually that they wouldn't even come to us because our football is shit ... so maybe it doesn't really matter and on that. i am going to bed |

... Damian, pls stop going on about vdv, where would he play? mon likes work horses who give 110% every game, no room for show players. i dont think we will sign any1 in january in my opinion whats realistic is top 6 and trying to be the best of the rest. |

... MON wants a couple of players. Good but it cant be Beattie or jones. We all have moans about heskey and carew because of the type of players they are. Jones is no diffrent to them, just a lazy target man. We need a sharp mobile striker. Robbie Keane. We still need flair and gial in the midfield. A playmaker. Maybe Steven Ireland, Steven Defour or Ozil. |

... i also went to the game today..... i thought beye was pretty bad in the 2nd half but had a good 1st half. He looked nervous and didnt look like he knew what to do with the ball, not bad in the tackle though, but not the one for me im afraid. Delph for me was having a good game, tried a few blocked shots and got his foot in, always willing to spread play aswell. Sidwell doesnt add anything much for me into our midfield, he is so frustrating, he works and gets stuck in, but again i think we need better. Downing didnt look to interested and looked a bit short of confidence esp running at players, he seems slower and scared of getting hurt, but given time im sure he will come good. Fonz and heskey, not bad, i thought they lacked the understanding and didnt show good enough touches at times, but they worked hard and the fonz scored. heskey never looks like scoring  / reo - coker m.o.m, cueller/collins - excellent as usual. warnock - played better, guzan - good pen save shame about the goal, onwards and upwards boys. good win, not the best performance but we will march on together. Go on the villa!! |

... The thing is mon has probably sold shorey, so we need another LB as bouma isn't coming back. Then there's NRC, sidwell, salifou, osbourne & gardner who all look like they could be leaving us. So mon is maybe going to do what he did in the summer. Sell the average players and replace them with better quality, For example Collins for Knight. Warnock for Shorey. People who are expecting a big name or a player that costs x-amounts of cash are setting themselves up for major disappointment. |

David Smith
said:

... It's getting a bit depressive on here, isn't it? The team MON put out won 3-1. If he put out a team with a load of changes that lost 3-1, then you can ask a load of questions. But the team he put out won, which believe it or not probably means he wanted to win. But you can understand him putting priority on the league cup and making changes, being just one match away from a final at Wembly and all that. And the attendence is absolutely par for the course for a third round fa cup tie. Blackburn in the 3rd round fa cup is hardly a classic tie, add to that we lost the previous two league matches. |

... We played without our spine. Freidal, dunne, Petrov , Milner, Gabby. They looked like they had more 1st eleven players than us. Pleasing day, we looked a class above first half, then reverted to our dope-a-rope style, as our A team does, in the 2nd half. Sitting back, absorbing whatever they`ve got. Shame that cos we could have blown them away if we`d kept the foot down. Shame about the fonz going off, he plays a bit like george samaras goal scoring brother, tidy player. Fab del looked very good too. Attendance was`nt bad for after xmas, compared with other prem teams who had several thou visiting fans. I think i could have counted the blacburn fans with a bit of patience. 300 maybe ? |
