League Cup Semi Final - Bradford City

[Des Little]

Reckon we can get a bid in for Oxford's back four?

We could buy them all for the total of 1 week of Dunne, Hutton & Warnocks wages .

You can't get two seats together anywhere in the Holte anymore. Rather than seeing this as a distraction from the Premier League, I think we should use this as an opportunity. Turning around the 3-1 score and a fantastic, fun, loud night at Villa Park could give our youngsters a new found confidence to take into the league.

Those of you who claim to not care about the cup, I've never seen Villa lift a trophy in my lifetime of following them with a passion. While some of you have the European Cup, countless League cups, division titles, and maybe even an FA Cup if you're old enough, I have nothing. My 'great villa memories' are being in the Holte when Blues got relegated, seeing us win the Peace Cup, and the few seasons we were almost better than Everton. Do you know how depressing that is?

Don't you dare try and take my excitement away from this, it's all I have as younger Villa fan, and being at Wembley to watch Man United lift it 3 years ago almost broke my heart. Lets turn them over and win our cup again, for the thousands of kids my age who don't know what it's like.

Chipsticks I endorse what you have said. I am considerably older than you and seen us win the League , European Cup and many League cups but yearns for the day when we lift the FA cup and I don't what League division we are in when we do that. I do hope you see us list the cup at wembley this  season.

Before the Soton game I  said we would batter Bradford 4-0 in the second leg.
I'm really not so sure now.

Chipsticks I salute you. Now here is a young lad who has stayed away from the easy opition like so many to become a glory hunter he is desperate to see the Villa win a trophy.

I have a son a couple of years younger than Chips and it broke my heart when he started to cry like a baby as Man U walked up those step to collect the Cup.

Nobody wants us to be relegated but we have an opportunity to get our dignity back after the battering we have taken these last few weeks.

Lets roar the lads to victory after all the prize could very well be a winnable game against Swansea.

Anybody under 24 will have little or no memory of a Villa captain climbing the step of Wembley.

I'm lucky enough to have seen it all bar the FA Cup and there aint nothing better.

This generation needs a trophy win lets not kill there enthusiasm when the club/team will need it most

[Rancid custard]

Yeah, agreed. Having us in a final would just give the club, players and fans a huge lift, to possibly win it would inject a new found sense of optimism.

Quite right too, alhough I'm not sure what they'll do about it in the end.

Sack him- incitement almost, fair play they deservedly won but you don't rub people's nose in it like that .
Few things I hate more than a bad winner .

Plus he did it in a really broad irriatating Yorkshire accent. He made Darren Gough sound almost OK.
If we manage to turn it around in the 2nd leg we should have Tony Butler ready firing both barrels over our PA.
