I'm starting to feel nervous now. Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

The Villa team are in the hotel I am staying in.  The Marriott  Hollins Hall. Seen few of the boys pacing around the lobby and in spa suite. The Coach ( not Culverhouse) is ready in the car park.

Are you going to try and blag your way onto the team coach?
No chance. Left my kit at home. Anyway I have my very own nice vehicle to transport me to to the ground ...well a car park somewhere close.

Not only should you blag your way on, I'd expect a good stern, rousing team talk to be given on the way to the ground...do it with confidence and conviction, no one will have a clue....
And in a strong Glaswegian accent...

I can mumble with the best of them!
Anyway I can confirm that the team coach has left the hotel. I also need to eave to find something to eat first. Can't do that around the ground as its all bloody Indian/Pakistani/Bengali food!

Actually fancy us to score first tonight.

Bradford know they need a good start, but with that brings pressure. 

Can see us going 1-0 up - but still go all out to make a hames of the thing.  Bradford slowly work their way back into it, equalize and then go 2-1 ahead.   

2-2 on the night, 0-0 or 1-0 back at our place.

I don't think my nerves could take it being that close. Can't we just win 5-0? ... Please?

George Galloway has just tweeted "Bradford City take on Villa in League Cup semi shortly. Come on ye Bantams. Vanquish the Villans. Send them back to Brum with sore bum!"

The BBC are very sloppy...

' This is Villa's 14th participation in the semi-finals. They have never progressed to the final after failing to win the first leg of a semi-final (D2, L3).'

The next bullet point...

' This is the second time they have faced a fourth-tier club in the League Cup semi-finals: in 1975 they drew 2-2 away to Chester in the first leg and won 3-2 at Villa Park in the second leg.'

What about the Tranmere first leg too?

Man Utd, first leg 1-1. Chester, 2-2 (as you said Bren). Tranmere 1-3. Arsenal 2-2. Won 'em all.

Is there a more repulsive man in this world than George Galloway? I thought he was a fake Celtic fan anyway.

A lot of nervousness on here. Usually I am the same and will be playing the worst case scenarios through my head but since the draw was made, I have just had no doubts whatsover that we will brush Bradford aside with some ease.
