THE MAGNIFICENT ASTON VILLA 2-1 LIVERPOOL FA CUP SEMI FINAL POST MATCH THREAD

The brief shot of Jack Grealish in that clip is great. Is he fighting the tears back or just plain feelng the pressure?

The way he played he seemed pressure free, if anything he thrived on it,

I won't tire of watching that footage.
It will only be topped with footage of us lifting the Cup on May 30th.

It's our year isn't it. Totally different vibe to 2000 and 2010.

The thing with Arsenal is they have lots of players like Grealish. Ok not exactly like him, but have incredible technical ability. We have to get right into Arsenal and really get into them and not let them have the ball. They have such fantastic movement off the ball that they are quite capable of slicing through a team. And they will be massively confident right now as they are on a superb run of form. It will be a very tough game.

I spoke to an ass fan today and he said exactly this

Get into us and were useless , let us play and you're fu.cked.

Good listening.

Read somewhere that Benteke's goal was our first in a semi final for 60 years. Jesus that is as old as i am !

So how does that work, when we reached the final in 2000? Therefore we won the semi final.

Goals scored during the match, rather than penalties afterwards?

I'm jealous of all the lucky buggers that managed to either be there, watch it on telly or get constant updates throughout. On Saturday I joined a ship in Colombo, sailed to Panama and got ashore Monday night, as soon as I got to the immigration desk I asked them what was the Villa/Liverpool score and they had the good grace to look it up on their computer for me - cue an outburst of loud cheers and jumping around like a loon and I truly believe that if I wasn't flying today they would have deported me anyway.
A wonderful result, still have tears in my eyes reading through all the posts.

Has anyone managed to obtain a link for the full match?  I'm desperate to re-live it.

Commentator's scouse accent is a bit thick, but this link seems to have the whole match (edit: well from 14mins anyway).

Ace. Thank you.

Aha, thanks.
