Birmingham City Vs. Aston Villa: Carling Cup Quarter Finals Open Thread, Lineups

PrintAston Villa travel just a few kilometers today to face Birmingham City at St. Andrews in the quarter-finals of the League Cup. Both teams have given supporters a few heart attacks on the way to the quarter finals. Small Heath has faced decidedly inferior competition, starting off with League One side Rochdale, who scored twice, before facing another League One side, Milton Keynes, and then requiring a penalty shootout against yet another League One side, Brentford.
The Villa, for their part, have been slightly less embarrassing in defending their runner-up-ship (is that a thing?) in the Carling Cup. Although they allowed Blackburn Rovers to score first, Villa once again swept aside their ever-present Cup foes. Aston Villa then faced their look-alikes in Championship side Burnley and had a bit more trouble, allowing the Clarets to come back in the 89th minute. Although Burnley may have forced added extra time, the Villa certainly didn't require a penalty shootout.
The claret and blue side of Birmingham may have had a superior showing in the League Cup so far, but unless they win tonight, those results will be worth less than nothing.
Aston Villa Starting XI: Friedel; Warnock, Dunne, Collins, L. Young; Downing, Clark, Bannan, Hogg, A. Young; Agbonlahor.
AVFC Bench: Guzan, Pires, Ireland, Carew, Delfouneso, Cuellar, Lichaj.
Small Heath Alliance Starting XI: Foster; Ridgewell, Johnson, Dann, Carr; Fahey, Bowyer, Ferguson, Larsson; Zigic, Jerome.
SHA Bench: Taylor, Gardner, Derbyshire, Michel, Beausejour, Jiranek, Murphy.

If Hogg killed Bowyer he has sealed his place in Villa history

want to wait until Villa are up 2 or 3-1
then he can kill Bowyer and get sent off

I was just thinking the same thing.

I know fashion and music is cyclical
but I really don’t understand reverting back to the electro-mechanized-synthesized voice crap from the 80’s. It sucked then and sucks now.

This announcer is a total idiot.
Ciaran Clark isn’t an “Irishman”, dimwit.

Ireland comes on and wins the game for Villa

Stephen Ireland has none of the touch, artistry, creativity and thought that Bannan has

set Young up there didn’t it?

I picked a great time to fucking wake up.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
"I've had people walk out on me before, but not when I was being so charming."
What kills me is that, if this were Villa trying to defend the lead, we'd all be sweating bullets.
I feel like we really have no chance to get this equalized.
Oh, my
I’d offer you lot a stiff drink after this one, but after yesterday, I’m fresh out….Sorry guys….

Dunno if anyone is still watching the video feed
Birmingham supporters invaded the pitch at full-time and all went to the Villa corner…I saw some seats getting thrown from the Villa supporters…
