Fly on the wall documentary, tonight at 2100 on BBC3. Filmed last Saturday, following Villa and Arsenal fans days out at Wembley.
-
I will watch it cheers for that.
-
Set to record. Cheers for the heads up.
-
Shaping up to be a good show
-
And now extended highlights of the game......:(
-
Glad they didn't follow me.
-
The bits I've seen show Arsenal fans to be more than a but arrogant.
-
Looks a class wedding ;D
-
I am not going to watch anymore of it as it's already painful!

Half of them will probably leave before the end of the programme to get to a barbecue so they can watch Britain's Got Talent.

That's Las Vegas style for Kingstanding/Pheasey folk. ;)
-
I know one of the people in it, well vaguely.
-
Heart broken 2.0
Kent Gooner wankers.Taxi driver wanker.Old gran wanker.
All Villa sound.
-
In some ways , this is more painful viewing than Saturday.

That really made me laugh
-
Not any fucking better 4 days later!
-
And wanker (nose?) at the wedding?
-
Good programme though!
-
Watching that brings home just how bad we were. The team gave us nothing.

Yep. Watching back on reflection and free from the distractions of the day itself shows how totally inept we were on the pitch. Very disappointing.
-
Well I watched all of that, has anybody got a toe straightener handy cos mine are still curled?
-
oh how wrong was tims selections?? we were bloody awful.
The fans were a different class
-
Seems bizarre how the ref didn't give the Grealish pen
*shuffles off dribbling into his Toby bitter*
-
The arsenal fan getting a spray tan to go round his mates to watch it on TV kind of summed up their support for me.
-
Don't mean to dis any one, but wedding - fa cup final day , take note any prospective to-be's its a no no
-
Why are you masochists doing this to yourselves? I've avoided it like the plague since the final whistle.

Someone tell that Spurs cabbie we beat them two months ago.

TBF I don't think the spurs cabbie was out of order, a lot of us alright , me said they can all go except Delph, cleverly and Richardson.

Just up to the kick off for me. i don't understand how anyone could stomach more of it from there on.
-
I must admit there was far more bleeding "highlights" than I expected in a Googlebox type show like that.

Haha same here , I didn't expect any match footage as such just fans reactions . Oh well. I think us fans can walk away proud. At least 20 neutral people this week have said to me how amazed they were how loud the villa fans were and the atmosphere generally. I'm glad I was there ,pre match it was off the scale.

Same, just switched off. Gutted again!
-
Just like 2000, I will never again watch a single bit of footage from that train wreck.
-
Fuck me. That was a painful watch. Nice reminder how many pathetically shit players are in that team.
I've got the game and a few build up programmes still sat unwatched on Sky+ but think they'll be getting deleted...it'd be like watching a reoccurring nightmare in HD.
-
Right at the end I saw my daughter and half my wife's face.
When we all met up after the game they said how annoying some woman was with a air horn...now I know who they meant!
-

Spent 10 quid on a programme that i am incapable of reading, just cannot bring myself to look at it.

My mate bought 3!
-
I got them by post & had one sent to my Dad as well - £30! (£5 postage) & they arrived on Tuesday. I think this is a cruel reminder of how certain I was that it was our year
It was a record breaking final for Wenger so maybe that will give it some value at some point, it really has no other purpose now.

I bought one on the day and literally haven't even got it out of the bag, and don't intend to. (Why did Wembley have to put the programme in a carrier bag?)
-
From the moment the 4th goal went in I left the TV to my daughter's Gooner boyfriend and since then I have not read a word about it in papers, listened to anything about it on the radio or watched anything about it on TV.
H&V my only very limited involvement. Mature me.
-

Same here. Haven't seen a second of footage from the game and didn't get any of the newspapers on Monday.

The Sports section of the Independent on Sunday went straight in one of the rabbits' cages on Sunday morning.

I did get the Sunday People but avoided the sports bit in the middle and the last three pages.
-
Decided to watch the rest just to see the highlights. I think that's made my mind up on Westwood. He looked out of his depth.
-
Painful as it was to watch, I thought it was pretty good as documentary accounts of the day go - in particular, no voice-over or commentary.
Like others though, I haven't been able to get past the contents page of the programme
-
Same here, every time the sport came in all Sunday I changed the channel. I deleted all final coverage within seconds of the game ending and turned off the tv, went to the spare room, vented my frustration on H & V and stared at ceiling till it got light.
The defeat was so comprehensive though at least there was no "what if" moment to send us mad.
-
I was flying home from Belfast whilst the game was being played. I havent watched any highlights, read no reports . So as far as I'm concerned, it never happened .
-

Stopped watching after the second went in. I just knew it would only get worse.
-
I had a flick through the programme on the train home on Sunday. I'm hoping in a few weeks, I'll be able to give it a read.
-
I also bought three programmes. One was for the bloke whose reference I used for my ticket as a thank you (I did get him a bottle of brandy as well so not too cruel), the other two are for my young nephew and a mate's kid. Motivation for the latter two was that such a shiny, bright record of a historic event will play a part in their choice of team. So, I'm probably responsible for two more Arsenal fans for the world.

What on earth is Benteke thinking for that 3rd goal
-

"Thank Christ I won't be playing for this shower next season" probably.

Is this knock Benteke week? You've even managed it on a thread which is not even about him.
-
Watching that I was also left wondering who pulled the shirt over the head of the other Arsenal player in the box.
The game was obviously well and truly over as a contest, but the efforts of Sanchez and Bacuna for their 4th was shocking.
Also NZ is at fault for not tracking Walcott but the whole of the defence were sucked into the 6yd box and didn't respond to the loose ball.
Saying that, I'm not sure we should be picking out individually errors when the whole team were absolutely shite on the day..."Villa couldn't play any worse if they tried" was one of the comments made on the programme.
-
Oh those tarquins. Bloody hell. They might as well have been skipping around with their thumbs round their suspenders. The Dick Van Dyke brigade.
I quite liked that Villa girl, who had all the shirts. I could start a whole new conundrum thread right there.
EDIT- Just seen her with that bloody horn (watching the repeat as we speak)...and that's not giving me the horn. Changed my mind. Can't be doing with that.
-
Typical uber-Tarquin as I walked back to Wembley Park tube - came off his mobile having proclaimed how "absolutely marvelous,darling" it felt before proceeding to teach his son the French words for various parts of the body. I was tempted to call him un branleur
-
A hired double decker bus full of Gooners made its way to Wembley last week past the Black Lion in Kilburn. I would say categorically they were not Tarquins
-
Could they have been the same mob that went past us at The Swiss Cottage throwing wanker signs?
-
Can't even bring myself to read the match programme let alone watch anything to do with last saturday
-
You get the impression most Arsenal fans didn't get overly excited about winning the Cup and have probably forgotten about it already.
I would have lived off an FA Cup win for a mighty long time!
I wish I hadn't watched the programme now though. I'd avoided all Football up until that point.
-

Benteke is a liability at defending corners. Hopefully next season we're not trying to take advantage of it.

I'm surprised by the attitude of some of them, based on how many were outside the stadium at a similar time to me and I left when it was still 3-0. They've won 2 trophies in 10 years, they are hardly bored of winning things. Bunch of Tarquin twats.
-
On my own tonight and brought myself to watch the road to the final off the Beeb last Saturday with Benjamin zephaniah.
For me the semi was the stripey shite and the final was the pool, the arse game never happened.
The support for me in both was the highlight of both games and just reinforced how much I love this club.
Take a bow every single one of you

Modern day football fans, a top 4 birth is what counts as success nowadays

Neither. Heaton please.

Wrong thread? - Given vs Guzan?

Oh *uck I will take it there!

I had a bottle of wine last night during the Barca v Juve game and then plucked up the courage to watch Truly Madly Wembley.
They showed far too much of the match but some of the characters were interesting - I am certain I used to know one of the blokes who was being interviewed at the Cat and Fiddle in Pheasey before that wedding.
Anyway, the highlight for me was that rousing rendition of HEITS after the Arsenal opener. The commentator referred to it and it may have been where the mikes were placed but it was far louder than anything else in the programme.
-
For me the show was a fitting epitaph to finally closing the FA Cup 2015 adventure down. The stars of the show were the fans not the players, the lifeblood of football and all it really stands for morally does not happen on the pitch. The passion of the villa fan getting married on the day and shuffling the whole agenda around the kick off - priceless, to the other extreme 100 miles south with an Essex based arsenal fan getting a spray tan so he could look pristine for the big day (watching it on TV).
-
I watched it a couple of days ago. It was enjoyable but at the same time most of them in it were tools. Especially the Arsenal golfers and the Arsenal bloke with his bint. He reminded me of the Fast Show Arsenal fan.
-
Typical uber-Tarquin as I walked back to Wembley Park tube - came off his mobile having proclaimed how "absolutely marvelous,darling" it felt before proceeding to teach his son the French words for various parts of the body. I was tempted to call him un branleur
As I got off the tube at Wembley I encountered a Tarquin asking the witty question "do Villa fans even know the way to Wembley?" so loudly it was obviously for the benefit of everyone around. Even his mates laughed when I shouted "we were here last month you fucking idiot".
-
After I left RedSox and went to go in the stadium a Tarquin started giving it the "Only come to see the Arsenal" guff, "have you won the European Cup" while pointing to my Champions of Europe trackie top shut the twat up much more effectively than a backhander would have.
-
I've also finally watched this tonight.
Caused Mr Amfy much amusement at the end when I was infuriated by the commentary when the 4th went in
'.......and that's enough for many Villa fans to turn tail and head for Wembley tube station...'
That goal went in at 92.55 - hardly 'we can see you sneaking out' time is it?
I suppose every last one of us should have been on our feet shouting 'come on lads - there's still 3 seconds and we only need 5!'
-
I left after about 88 mins. I was outside the stadium when someone said they'd got a 4th.
-
Whe she says "I also finally watched this tonight" what she actually is "I have now watched highlights, lowlights, brief clips, short clips of the highlights and pretty much the whole match 8 times"
Suffice to say the anger, disappointment and self loathing haven't dissipated- we haven't " moved on yet"
-
3 nil when I left, didn't know it was 4 until about half an hour later in the pub. Also, it's fair to say that not every Arsenal fan is a nu-footy, Nick Hornby-type, although they did appear to be out in force along Wembley Way. Hat's off the Arsenal geezers ( and I do mean geezers) though who hired an open-top bus to get to Wembley. I liked their style. They drove up Kilburn High Road and not many of the villa fans in the pubs along the route were giving them any abuse. Also, the fella who came back to the Black Lion with some nasty head injuries after taking hiding at Kilburn station from a bunch of "Tarquins"
-
My mates son picked up a rail ticket dropped by a Gooner and gave it back to him as we walked up Wembley way. He was one of three walking together. Must have been a return. The first thanked him and gave him a fiver. The second gave him a tenner. The third was just a miserable bastard.
After the game, I wish I'd have picked the ticket up and held onto it.

I never saw the fella with the head injuries in the pub. Was he ok?

He was outside, shaking. Rob was talking to him

I remember somebody posting this and having to have my toes straightened after. I knew I recognised him from somewhere.

That's the chap I know vaguely. A nice enough lad but a bit Villa obsessed.
