Yup, that was the one.

Was wondering how long it would take for that commentator to say "is there another twist in this tie".

It's his trademark saying.

The usual Clive Tyldesley boxing analogies have been brought up again too :yawn:

Lol. Very True

I hope he's not commentating on the United Milan match Surely he's only allowed one match a month *crosses fingers*.

Youngs clearence off the line was a Beaut.

Man City must be watching this and kicking themselves they sold us Richard Dunne!

Que sera sera
Whatever will be, will be
We're going back to Wem-ber-lee
Que sera sera!

Off to Wembley again. They better sort out the surface, it was a disgrace for both teams in the Carling Cup final.

I'm hoping Portsmouth in the semi-final and Fulham in the final.

Well done, Villa. Cracking cup-tie, and what an opening 10/11 minutes to the second-half!!

All the best for the semi.

Little Wembley hang over there for the first half, we were woeful, but MON earning his keep again, 4 goals, top stuff

maybe MON will stop crying over the vidic incident now

I'm actually happy with this. I would rather we face Chelsea in the semi-final than the final.

I didn't really want them at all...but seeing as we have, I'm confident we can do it.

Happy with Chelsea, I was dreading Tottenham/Fulham more to be honest, but I'm confident, Carew and Agbonlahor would be a nice upfront to start with.

The worst combo would have been Spurs and then Chelsea. If we beat Chelsea in the semi-final, we should be confident enough to win the FA Cup.

Good point.

Chelsea Wembley clash will be on the Saturday.

Glad about that. I prefer Saturday games.

Nigel back in training! - Should be back sometime before the semi or a few Prem games before.

How do you Villa fans feel about the fans who booed the team off after the first day of the season?

Now you have multiple trips to wembley, your best shot yet at 4th and a team that look like they can have a good end to a season.

Do you feel embarrassed for them? Angry at them? think they were right to?

They were right to, it was a very bad start but will be avenged on Tuesday hopefully.

Completely unrelated, but I've just looked at the Villa fixtures, and the Everton game is off obviously because of Chelsea @ Wembley, will it be played eventually?

Glad to hear that. Always liked NRC and would prefer him to start more for us.


I understand why they booed, even if I don't neccessarily agree with it. It seemed to work though, cause afterwards we beat Liverpool at Anfield and have done very well since.

This is going to be a tough game. I'm not expecting any more than a draw, but a win would be a great bonus.

Three yellow cards in 25 minutes...can't see us finishing this game with 11 players on the field at the moment.

We really need to win this if we want to claim the 4th spot. Otherwise Spurs alone will be miles ahead.
