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

[Lizz]

Not so much an apology, more an oops it was a pre-scheduled tweet apparently.

[Richard E]

We showed up and we punched our weight, and that is all any of us ever ask. Thoroughly deserved win, second half in particular we were bloody magnificent.

Yes!!!!!!!!! That is all

[Villan For Life]

Not so much an apology, more an oops it was a pre-scheduled tweet apparently.

I love it when arrogance turns sour.

What added to my happiness was seeing the much younger supporters. It must be hard being a Villa supporting child at school when there's so many glory hunters around. Hope they really enjoy school tomorrow.

What a day - for many reasons - but the main one being I managed to get a ticket for my Mom - who loved every minute of the day.

And it kept her mind off her chemotherapy which starts tomorrow.

She is positive and she will beat it - but whatever happens , 5 members and 3 generations of my family have had a day together than no one can ever take away from us .

UTV - God bless x

Lovely to hear and good luck to your mum.

Ditto

Another great thing today - the amount of stick Savage got as he wandered in front of our end. Hope 'Robbie Savage, what a wanker' came through loud and clear on live TV

Agree completely that Randy deserves his day in the sun.   All he has to do is keep us.   We have been to hell and back these last four years, but we are back and there are better times ahead of that I am sure.

Best wishes to you mother FFD.  Tell her we are all rooting for her.

Just got back.  Still buzzing.  The whole club can be immensely proud of those players and the staff.  We absolutely deserved it.

I'm sure the members of the 1957 side who have passed on will be looking down on us and willing us to emulate their achievement.  Johnny Dixon has held the Tag our last FA cup captain for too long now. 

However, back to the league for know.  We just get the wins we need to get us over the line.

There was a group of 3 lads in front of us, must have been somewhere between 10-13, all singing their hearts out for 'Villa till I die', me and my Dad acknowledged them together and smiled. I said to him, "They're the future".

I've got an extremely busy schedule tomorrow (up at dawn to travel to Berlin with a tour group; still haven't packed) but the first thing I'll do when I get home in about an hour will be to replay the last 10 minutes to experience again that fantastic atmosphere behind the goal.

[brian green]

On that showing I think we will give Man City's cage a good rattle.

We had to attend a funeral removal this afternoon and knew nothing of the events unfolding which, is the way I prefer it. I was sitting in the back of my sister-in-law's car with Mrs S approaching the town where the removal was taking place when Mrs S received a text from our son wanting to know where we were as our ten-year-old grandson was trying to ring Grandad to talk about Villa's  great win.  I let out a roar  which almost made sister-in-law's husband crash the car! not that he needs encouragement, he's a terrible driver.

We got to the funeral home I offered my condolences, and went outside to wait for the cortege to move off to the church and decided to sneak up the road to the pub that I knew would have the match on hoping to cop the highlights and, the first thing I saw was two Villa shirts sitting on the bar stools.  They gave me a run down on what had happened and was unsurprisingly  gushing about Grealish.

I finally got home in time to ring my grandson before he went to bed.  He told me that one of his teachers was a Villa fan and, that if the Villa won today then he could wear his Villa shirt over his uniform to school Monday.  That's a big thing for a kid who lives and goes to school in Wolverhampton.

I found it hard to  keep the smile of my mug in the funeral home but, I haven't stopped grinning since Mrs S got the text.  I told Mrs S that I had this feeling that we would do it today and, from reading all this thread we did it in style.  These are the days we live for, as Villa supporters.  I sincerely hope that the corner has been well and truly turned and that we get the necessary points required for safety and then next season show we can compete with the best of them.

Safe journey home to you all.
