[Oscar Arce]

What time do the coaches leave from Villa Park?

We should have arranged to all meet by one of the gates and have a H&V picture taken of us all before we win the cup.

[leylandalbion]

I felt that way. It just feels so right to be our time. Nerves have kicked in. I am now in stage of just give a good fight!

[Bad English]

In all the excitement, I had forgotten that my French team, AJ Auxerre, are playing PSG in the final of the the Coupe de France tomorrow night at the Stade de France.

I have been following them since 1982. I think this may be an omen.

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

So nervous, excited and terrified.

Tomorrow I will be at Wembley for the FA Cup Final with 25,000 other wonderful Villa fans giving our boys 110% heart and soul support.
We will be brilliant.

I cannot even begin to engender the remotest inkling of doing anything but winning.

Nothing else in the world could make me feel like this.

I fu*king love Aston Villa.

[PeterWithesShin]

This is why I have no doubts.

Tomorrow is our reward for watching the last 4 years. It's for us who were there watching Leyton Orient win at Villa Park. It's for the 15-0 week. It's for Millwall, Bradford and Sheff United. It's for those who were at Southampton, Hull, Chelsea.
It's for Bill Howell, Franksy and the other Villa haters in our local media. It's for our neighbours who think they know what they are and applauded on 8 mins. It's for our other neighbours who suddenly got an interest in history 2011 having spent decades calling us historians.
Ultimately though, it is for us, the chosen few who support the greatest and most historic football club the world has ever known.

It's our fucking time now! And tomorrow, the lion's roar will be heard all over London.

[Villan For Life]

It's Friday night I'm a little mellow so forgive the emotion.

It's time for some new Villa legends. Tomorrow is a day to make new legends. Please Villa, do it for me and thousands like me that have seen us win everything but the FA Cup. Do it for the younger fans who have never seen us win anything. Do it for the Villa family and write your names in Villa history.

COME ON YOU LIONS!

[Phil from the upper holte]

this is awesome, I'm so looking forward to tomorrow, this is the moment

[PeterWithesShin]

It's Friday night I'm a little mellow so forgive the emotion.

So am I. I'm relying on mother nature to help me sleep tonight.

[john e]

Fuck me
If we lose tomorrow there's going to be a lot of broken hearts

[Villan For Life]

It's Friday night I'm a little mellow so forgive the emotion.

So am I. I'm relying on mother nature to help me sleep tonight.

Me too PWS

[jcsutv]

hopefully this will be a pre-FA Cup post when we look back on the site in years to come. BC versus AD.

[devilla]

I need to be up at 5.45 in the morning to catch a train up to London at 6.38 but I really don't think I'm going to be able to get much sleep. My stomach's been churning for two days now.

My wife's Dad was a big Villa fan. He died in 2011 and it will be a very special moment when I look up to the sky from Wembley. I just know he'll be there in spirit. Another Holte Ender In The Sky. This one's for you Jack.

Come on you Lions!

[Jimbo]

There's a lot of restless, bitter, knuckledraggers on social media tonight. I think they're more nervous than we are.
