We've never lost a game on a day when I've had a threesome with Swedish twin sisters.

Have we ever won one though ?!

A girl got on the Tube wearing a Dustin Pedroia Red Sox jersey, so I’m taking that as a good omen

I'm thinking of working as every time I work during a Villa game we win and I get a new client. I have a meeting booked but must decide tomorrow whether or not to cancel it. I'd be back to see the second half. It's tempting.

One thing I won't be doing is going to a pub/bar showing the game. Wembley 2000 and again in 2015 put a stop to that.

Saturday is going to be a strange day. Win and everything is alright with the world. Anything else isn't worth considering.

Go to the fucking meeting!
Absolutely fucking brilliant SE.lol

No worries, Mr Munster, I'm working now but there are over 40,000 reasons why we'll win today. Our fans will drag us through to victory.

I haven't bought any new clothes for a decade at least, so I'm pretty confident I own nothing that hasn't at sometime borne witness to a twatting.

My usual colours are scarf, hat, gloves and jumper, weather dependent. They won't be joining me this weekend. I never wear a shirt to a match though, so I'm going to break with convention, and wear my '89-'90 one as my contribution to the claret and blue wall.

Firstly, it still fits!

Secondly, according to eBay, it's worth £150!

It's not superstitious, but they have to start somewhere. Here's hoping it's regularly worn and never washed for many years to come.

Sorry, my fault.

Here’s a suggestion for Wembley.

Raise it to the fucking ground.

Every time we go there we say the same thing.

Here’s a suggestion for Wembley.

Raise it to the fucking ground.

Every time we go there we say the same thing.

It's a shithole. The FA spent a about 800 million quid on it, and the main selling point was that it had more toilets than old Wembley. It does, but they're always in a state anyway. The food and drink prices are absolutely crazy, there's nothing to do around the ground, no decent boozers, and while it's easier to get to get to and from than when it first opened, it's still a ball ache having to go there. It's utterly soulless and it looks like shit; the arch isn't 'iconic', it makes the place look like a giant handbag.

The FA are so incompetent that they're actually considering selling the dump for about 300 million quid less than they paid for it. The FA being the only people that have managed to lose money on the London property market in the last decade. Clowns. I hate the place.

We were saying on the way down yesterday, it's almost as if the design brief was 'how can we make the national stadium as difficult to access as possible?'

I hope the next superstition for Wembley is “employ a manager who will try to win the game”.
