Mine got nicked but the guy in front left his. So I technically nicked his.

I'm bad.

I thought it was a nice touch,
That said I saw a fair few flags in bins and the floor towards the tube,

Me on the otherhand kept it, I was determined to get something out of that game yesterday ;D
All be it would have preferred the cup!

Even in today's cynical age I find it astonishing that so called fellow villa fans would steal scarves from others' seats.  Just disgraceful.

It will be how Lerner's time will be remembered. Good at free scarves and flags. Oh and a pub.

I left my flag, someone nicked my scarf, I wasn't too bothered (didn't see him take it but the lovely old couple sat next to me were ever so bothered by it) but then the chap sat a few seats away who nicked my scarf got kicked out when he threw a punch at a celebrating arsenal fan when their first goal went in. Scarf was returned to me. Karma is beautiful.

Incredibly there was a spare seat next to me.  I never gave a minutes thought to taking the scarf from that seat.

I don't have a problem with opposition supporters sitting with our support so long as they aren't antagonistic but how come Arsenal supporters were in the Villa end?

There was a youngish kid maybe 16-17 odd behind us who celebrated when they scored the third.  He was lynched by half a dozen brave souls then thrown out admittedly still stupidly making 3-0 hand gestures as he was leaving.

Depends where it was.........If its in the Club Wembley area that's to be expected, if its anywhere else then a Villa fan must have sold them there ticket?

I was sat in the villa end and just to the right on the other side of the steps, still in the villa end were where the county FA seats were, there were quite a few Villa sat there but no scarves, just flags so at a guess the 800 extra tickets that were sold were put there. Then at another guess those who had county FA tickets, gave them to a few Arsenal fans. First goal went in, a few Arsenal fans jumped up and half antagonised but nothing major, then a small group rounded on them and asked stewards to kick them out. The Arsenal fans knew they were in the wrong, sat down, apologised, but then a few villa fans went to attack them. One bloke threw a punch, missed but half slapped one of them and by that point the stewards arrived and kicked out the arsenal fans and the couple of idiots who used their fists.
