90% of people booking these hotels would not have been attending Arsenal away.

And you know this how?

Stop moaning at people making some preparations and attempting to get cheap deals

When we won it in '94, it was our first victory in the competition for 17 years...

And our manager then was a former Norwich manager.  (In '77)

defeat at Wembley to them would leave a bitter taste but victory would be so sweet and apt revenge for 2000.

I think it would be an apology for 2000 we were so bad that day.

Sorry, should have read first time we'd won it for 17 years. Obviously we won some rounds in between.

Look i'm not trying put a dampener on anything, i along with every villa fan is delighted with the draw and do believe we will make it through, however i am a very superstitious fan and booking hotels is asking for a jinx!! Dont get me wrong If we are 2 goals up after the first leg then i will have booked a hotel as close to the Green Man pub as possible

Given the allocation we would get at Arsenal in the league compared to a League Cup final Wembley (should we get there), I'd say your maths is pretty accurate.

Let them book, its their choice, I'm half tempted to myself because even if I don't get a ticket for the final, I'll take a trip down for it should we win.

Lets be honest, and no disrespect to Bradford here, but we really should be beating these, particularly over two legs

Cheers Concrete John, Lets hope Concrete Ron is fit for that weekend whether it be Arsenal in the league or Chelsea/Wales XI in the Cup final

The games was memorable as BOTH debutants scored .

No they didn't.
We will have to disagree then as I can confirm the goals that day came from Andy Gray, Stuart Gray, Paul Birch (RIP) & Gary Thompson

Ron Futcher x 2 pens for them

The game is indeed 24th Feb but if it is Chelsea in the final they have the 2nd leg of their Europa League tie at home v Sparta Prague on the 21st.

Lil'Lee might be able to give Lambo's men the lowdown on some of the Bradford players.
