Tactics Tim's finest hour: Villa 2 Liverpool 1


http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/32273487


Villa's win was a triumph for manager Tim Sherwood as his side produced a performance of style, composure and grit to come from behind and reach their first FA Cup final [/size]since their loss to Chelsea in 2000.[/b]

And what a terrific day it was. I remember being in a boozer early doors surrounded by plastic scousers all suggesting we enjoy our "big day out" 2 hours in and the place fills up with Villa and they change their tunes

So drunk that day and what a day to be - best game I have seen for many years

This is why I have a soft spot for Sherwood. He kept us up and gave us a couple of genuine great days. A few bright spots in nearly 7 years of misery at Villa.

Awesome day...in fact, probably the second best day I've had supporting the Villa in my adulthood coming second only to the '94 Cup Final.

I was watching the last few minutes with tears in my eyes. Rarely have I been so happy following the Villa.

One of the wildest celebrations I've ever seen when the Delph goal went in. Brilliant couple of months amidst a sea of Blues.

Agreed. As a big a cock as he was before, during and much more so after, the Liverpool game, Albion, Everton to name three that immediately come to mind were excellent days.

Great day for me to share with VCTM jnr - One of our best Dad and Lad experiences together - Living up here on Merseyside made it even sweeter.
Jnr had a swagger about him when he went back into school.

Superb day, dancing around the living room naked at one point here in Tokyo. My now wife realised that day that she was going to marry a madman, and just how much Villa mean to me.

Happy days. BT Sport show the Liverpool goal on one of their adverts for their channel, I see it every day on a screen in the window of the local TV shop. Never mind that we scored two and won that day, they have to show the Liverpool goal.

All downhill from that day really....couple of weeks later was 6-1 at Southampton, the cup final and then untold misery ever since.

OMG that is a very worrying image :)) But yes a wonderful day and night it was for me in London.
