FA Cup Semi-Final: Aston Villa vs Liverpool Pre-Match Thread

[richard moore]

Up and bouncing! Meeting fellow Villa fan and Chichester resident, Rob, my companion through many a drubbing on Sky in the pub near us, at the station and then up to London. Collecting my ticket outside Wembley. Hoping not to meet too many gloryhunting scousers from this part of the world - 'my uncle was born in Liverpool' types!

Up and buzzing now will leave ours at 1030 so be at Wembley parked up by 130pm latest I'd have thought.
Keep sterling and continuo quiet (assumes Sturbridge out) and we've got this won.
Come on me babbies .

Morning all. Let's do this. Glory awaits.

Right Villa let's get some pay back for that fucking Robbie Fowler hat trick.

Nearly time to leave to get picked up. Feck me i'm hyper!

Leaving at 10.30, hopefully parked by by 12.30, a few pints then walk to the ground.

Do us proud.

On way.

On train from Leeds, there are a lot of over confident Liverpool supporters on board.

19 years to settle a score.

Moor St is a nightmare by all accounts. Nodge et al have decided to drive instead.

Waiting for 11 when the Old man and my brother turn up to collect me - getting very, very jittery and just want to be there now. Hoping there'll be some space in the pubs around 1 when we rock up!

My Gooner mate said we're missing out on quality drinking time with us having a KO time at 3pm but he failed to realise we had 24 hrs more drinking time - as beautifully demonstrated by this guy who came past us at Vauxhall next to the Thames at about midday yesterday

Luckily not my picture, but Moor Street is looking bad!

Casting my mind back to the dark days of mid-winter I'm quite content to say whatever will be, will be, que sera sera and accept Liverpool are favourites.  However, there is also something in me that thinks we are going to sneak this.
