Newcastle winger James Milner will ignore the taunts of Birmingham supporters when he attempts to help his side negotiate a tricky FA Cup third round tie this weekend.Milner, who celebrates his 21st birthday on Thursday, spent last season on loan at Aston Villa and was within hours of completing a permanent move to the Midlands in August before he was recalled to Tyneside. The former Leeds midfielder has responded in excellent style and claimed his first goal of the season with a stunning strike against Manchester United on New Year´s Day.However, he is expecting a hostile reception when he runs out at Birmingham on Saturday and said: "It´s hard to say who will get the most stick from the Birmingham supporters on Saturday, me or Nobby Solano, because we both played for Aston Villa. The Birmingham fans will probably remember that when I played for Villa last season, we beat them twice."
