    Obviously pleased about this but if I was a neutral I'd think wtf! This is not an exciting tie for anyone who isn't villa or Leicester

    ... and what would be? ... personally I think it's just about as good as any in the round ... 'derby' game - should be evenly contested - red cards in the league meetings so likely to be fiery ... should be a great atmosphere with 6k plus away following ...

    Hmm I always like an FA cup match with the prospect of an upset such as Bradford at home to Fulham or Sunderland after they beat Chelsea. I've never been a fan of the tv companies wanting to televise all premier league ties and just because we are in the premier league now I haven't changed my views on it as I believe the cup is about sides from different levels.
    As I say I'm delighted it is on and I appreciate other views on it but if it had been say Villa v Stoke on I'd have been disappointed

    ... Bradford at home to Fulham? ... a better game to televise than Villa against Leicester? ... and if Bradford were to win that, would it really be that much of an upset? ... I do take the point that a minnow against a Prem team is potentially great TV ... but I would maintain that, given the draw, our game is quite a good one for neutrals ... for me, Arsenal against 'Boro (given the way Boro are playing) is the only tie that comes close to watching ours (inclusive of my bias of course) ...
