Well, I know it was a while back in the days before then online version of Heroes and Villains. I wonder what sort of comments would of been spouted on these types of messages boards back then after a 3-1 reverse against lower league opponents?
-
Atkinson out, we dont spend enough money
-
Good job sicknote scored. We'd definitely be out if it wasn't for that goal.
Two goals next leg, sure we can do it.
Come on Deano, et al.
-
Don't worry I'm gonna stick a tenner on a 3-1 home win and villa to win on pens .
I might stick another. Tenner on Sean teale to score - he's due one!
-
It's only 'Half Time'
There's another 90 minutes to play. It ain't over yet, not by a long way.
Will their keeper be able to produce a world class performance again?
Will their players, as a whole team, be able to rise to that level again?
Maybe they can, but I'll bet they can't.
An early goal for us and we'll see how their nerves are.
This game isn't over!!!
-
I've been grounded for sneaking to Liverpool, mom says I can't go to home game :(
-
Absolute Shit. Sack the manager, hang the Chairman, slap the ball boys, piss on the kit man, and the tea ladies can do one as well. Worst Villa side I've ever seen, ever will see, and I've bet my life savings on us being relegated 5 divisions and liquidated.
I hear I'm about to be conceived. Don't bother Dad.
-
It isn't over, I reckon we will go 2 up, Bozzie will survive a very definite sending off and then go on to have an absolute blinder in the penalty shootout but not before Aldridge brings them back in it from the penalty spot and Liam O'Brien hits the bar in the last minute. It's all to play for lads.
-
Tell you what, that second leg was one of the best matches I ever attended in the old Trinity Road stand, the racket up there was brilliant.
-
I remember coming out of that gaming not believing that we had performed so poorly. i also remember the sense of optimism i felt after Dalians late strike.
Yesterday despite the same scoreline i came out feeling totally dejected
-
Useless defence, they're too old with dodgy knees. We need to get some promising kids in pronto.
-
No way Dalian should have payed last night. The bloke's a passenger most of time. Can't be bothered with chasing back lazy sod. He lost his man on two of their 3 goals and should have put that easy tap in away but they cleared and scored the third on counter attack. Honestly we will be better off with ten men than having BFR's son in the team.
-
Oh well, it'll be Man United in the final, and there's no way we'll beat them anyway.

Are you a Time Lord? If you have forgotten you are in first leg post match thread silleeeeeeeey!

No, that was just an observation on the tie as a whole. Happy reminiscing.
-
Theres no way I am paying a tenner to watch that in the second leg. The money they are on as well. Tell ya, the game is in mortal danger
-
What a bunch of fucking wasters.
Some of those useless wankers are picking up 2k a week, FFS
-
We wre harder in 94.
After we came out of the ground, the plastic-Scousers got run all over the place. Now we have threads about behind the yellow jacket hardmen, the hold me back types.
Society is crumbling. Or civilising?
-
I was pissed-off at the end of the first leg - not least because I thought I'd lost my car keys. However, I wasn't without hope.
Then came the FA Cup exit at Bolton the following weekend and I was sure that the season had imploded.
As for the second leg, probably the most memorable match I've attended at Villa Park....
-
I remember sitting in the lounge at home with my parents and my brother listening to the match on Xtra Am as it was then. I can still remember the shock of going 3-0 down and then my Dad saying "that's just about kept us in it" when Dalian scored in the dying minutes.
The two games that followed in the competition that year were two of my favourite ever Villa games.

I heard about that - apparently a lot of peoples ties got ruffled in the goal celebrations?
-
It's all Doug's fault.

When Dalian scored, my butler ended up three rows in front in the melee.
-
Hard to believe its almost 20 years ago. Standing on that shitty open terrace at Prenton Park (happy days) when the third went in and some bird threw up down the back of the bloke just behind me. Back to Villa Park, few bottles of Skol white top in the Aston Tavern then onto the Holte End. Shaun Teale and Dalian, Bozzie getting away with murder then winning it for us. Here's hoping we'll be telling similar tales about Lamberts Lions in another 20 years
-
Went to Prenton Park and had a tyre blow out on the M6 at 90mph on the way back. Tranmere were a decent side then and with Aldridge always had a chance. Was confident we'd do them in the second leg though, and that match was the best I've ever seen. Couldn't speak for about two days after.
-
Look how close Tranmere came to scoring first in the 2nd leg - almost forgot about it.
nd the penalties.
-

I would have pointed out as usual that it is never, ever 'would of'.
-
It's all Doug's fault.
Too right, why doesn't he spend as much as Ken Bates.
-
It quite simply was the best game I have ever attended for the mixture of emotions across the two legs. Villa had not won a trophy in my supporting lifetime and so Wembley still had the mythical air to it. Went from expecting to piss it at the draw stage, to despair and anger at 3-1 down, to hope on arriving on the holte end (with crate to stand on), to expectation at 2-0 up, to despair at aldridge's pen and then when you think it's gone, Dalian puts the header in and then there was pens. First time i'd ever sung kay sera sera...Just epic. Utd at wembley was easy in comparison as there simply wasn't the amount of drama and we never expected to win. Unlikely to be bettered I think.

Just you wait till Tuesday 22nd, 2013.
-
Already got my tickets!! Just trying to tempt fate really!!
-
Bugger, I'd booked a hotel in London as well. It's ok as I think we play Wimbledon that weekend anyway.
-
What the fuck was Mark Wright doing in our seats? We were allocated few enough as it was. Couldn't understand his problem when we called him a twat.
-
The 2nd leg highlights should be on continuously on the screens around the ground before the Bradford game. I think the players should be forced to watch it in the morning as well. Might help give some of them the kick up the backside they need.
-
Me and Mrs. Javu never saw Dalian's goal in the first leg because we were already walking back to the car, dejected. I also missed Dalian's goal in the second leg because I was having a pee in the bog, inebriated.
Bummer.

You are now assigned to the toilet for the duration of the second leg against Bradford.

Beer was bloody expensive in that pub outside the ground. Paid over £1.30 a pint.

Thursday 17th Feb, 1994: After standing on that open terrace in the pouring rain last night I'd given up on us scoring when we were 3-0 down. I went to console myself by buying a pie at the refreshment kiosk on the left hand side and missed Dalian's goal! At least it only took me an hour to drive back to Shrewsbury. I've now got the rest of the week off work to finish wallpapering the lounge.
P.S. Thread title needs amending from Jan to Feb.

Fuckin' hell. About to be knocked-out of the cup by a bunch of no-hopers, no doubt the same will happen on Sunday in the FA Cup against Bolton. What the fuck's happend to the team that led the table for much of last season? I think Ron has lost it. Should have made fucking sure he got Roy Keane in last summer instead of Townsend.
We've done well since God went awol for the FA Cup game at Exeter but can't seem to maintain that consistency from last season.
Also this week: Fred and Rosemary West's patio and garden was being dug-up, Blur resurrected their career with girlswholikeboyswhodiggirlsliketheirboys and Aldrich Ames and his wife were charged with spying for the Soviet Union by the United States Department of Justice. Aldrich gets life, his wife five years.
-
That was a bit of a shocker. Anyway, me brothers, dad and a couple of mates have tickets in the Holte for the second leg. We're all gonna meet there early and get a pitch together. Gotta show some support, semi-finals don't come around too often. And you just never know... a couple of dodgy refereeing decisions might finally go our way. Also we won't have too many more opportunities to stand on the Holte - better make the most of it while we can.

But we still have quality throughout the side. There's goals in us, a mean defence on its day and experienceed heads in midfield who can chip in with goals. We are still in this tie!!
-
Ellis out.
-
If we do get to the final, any chance of a season ticket voucher or some programme vouchers?
-
Bloody hell I didn't realise the no7 bus fare had gone up to 20p
-
Terrible atmosphere in Prenton Park, well moody. Good job there were no seats to break. Earl Barratt got dogs abuse as well. Our 'fans' eh? Tch!
-
The Tranmere fans must have thought we all looked a bit strapped for cash because they spent most of the match donating coins to us over the top of the dividing fence.
-
What a crap ground that is ! Didn't play well but Dalian's goal has swung the momentum, the celebrations when it went it were as if we had already won the cup, you could feel the deflation from the Tranmere fans. I think we will be fine, our experienced players will see us through, its not like we are a bunch of kids who can't win a tackle or defend and are getting stuffed every week
-
They ought to write a book about their fans and call it Away Days.
Don't be mistaken
Don't be misled
We are not Scousers
We're from Birkenhead
You can forget your cathedral
And your Pier Head
We are not Scousers
We're from Birkenhead.
A little birra knuckle!

Tell you what, that second leg was one of the best matches I ever attended in the old Trinity Road stand, the racket up there was brilliant.
The atmosphere was the best I've ever been in at Villa Park in over 40 years of attending matches. I thought my heart was going to burst out of my chest.

The second leg was the most amazing match I've ever watched.
-
Oh, sorry. It's still the first leg. Atkinson out. Ellis out. Useless bunch of muppets, losing to Tranmere Rovers. Let's hope we score early first in the return leg.

It had been 17 years since our last Wembley Cup Final appearance. The general feeling amongst the fans was of ravenous hunger to get to Wembley again and that desire was the key to our comeback.
It's got to be mentioned too that Tranmere were no Bradford. They were a very useful team with a top class striker in John Aldridge up front. It was a monumental team effort from the players and the fans to turn that tie around.
-
Do away goals count?
-
Fatkinson has lost it. Why do we never sign gems like Aldridge? Ellis out!
