[LTA]

Hopefully I'll miss that as coming in from Stourbridge.  Imagine platform will be just as jammed though.

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

Just been stood in that queue for nearly 2 hours before just getting on a train now.  Absolute chaos with very little organisation.

Latest from coach D. Table of four Liverpool supporters leaving at half time if they are 4 up to go drinking, loudest annoying bloke on train is a Mansfield season ticket holder in a Villa shirt talking about all the Mansfield games he's been to/going to.

Guzan one of the best keepers in the league
Vlaar one of the best defenders at the world cup
Delph one of Englands best midfield prospects
Benteke one of Europes best strikers

The spine is there, the support is there. If the desire and commitment matches it we have every chance of being in the FA Cup final. Liverpool are decent, not good just decent and on our day we bloody well are too. I think we can do it, there's been something about this cup run, every game has felt important and an escape and we've clung to it. We're going to cling on a little longer and end a lot of years of FA Cup hurt.

Aston Villa 2 Liverpool 1

Guzan isn't playing but I hope the rest applies.

Oh it would be so nice just to have to luck go our way for once.

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

Queued for an hour. Orderly enough from my perspective.

[Toronto Villa]

It's 6.15am in Toronto. Can't sleep. Wishing all traveling Villa fans a safe and enjoyable day and much to celebrate around 5pm!! We can do this. We can absolutely do this today!!

Match kicks off at Midnight in Oz. Been nervous all day but strangely confident considering we're the underdogs, similar to how I felt last week against Spurs.


Come on you Lions.

[tom jennings III]

Come on you Villa boys!!

[Monty]

To paraphrase H. Solo, I have a good feeling about this. COYL
