Would be kind of ironic if they would now be the ones who are forced to play the kids in the cup against us.

Why is there even an FA Cup, FFS?
If Villa arenât willing to forfeit the tie, we should pull out. I wasnât interested in this before Villaâs trouble. Iâm even less interested if this game falls in the middle of later fixture congestion.
The football authorities need to drop this lunatic delusion that they can have a normal season.

Shocking. Grealish is in London partying with Barkley - and without masks - and a few weeks later a Covid outbreak in their camp.
Joyce says Keita wonât play.

I said the other day when Derby were told to forfeit the game that if it happened to a Prem team then they will tweak it. Derby to their credit wanted to put some sort of team out so will play u/23s and U/18s.
Villa will have to do the same. Theres no room for this game to be moved to.
I say just suspend the season as this is getting ridiculous. No fans is bad enough but now its not even the real teams playing. Its a complete farce.

Yep. Itâs completely disinteresting at the moment.
I was only half joking when I said this season should just be âlast man standingâ. In some ways it already is.

Theyâll get to 19 league games played, make sure that Man U are top and then declare those the final standings.

More interesting than the early rounds of the FA Cup 
It was romantic, maybe. Given the circumstances, itâs just a pain this season.
If only there was some sort of precedent where the FA would make one team field a team of under 18s to fulfill the fixture. Especially when it is circumstances out of their control.
Oh well, guess we will never know what itâs like to be put in that situation. WaitâŠ

If only it was possible to like this twice!
I have no doubt if the shoe was on the other foot theyâd make us play, but I have a strong feeling this one is cancelled.
Derby are being forced to play, so why not Villa? Unless like HometownZero says, being at home comes into play.

What do Villa mean by a âsignificant outbreakâ? Just say how many players and staff have tested positive FFS!
