In all probability so have we. You can't just hire an open top bus and close off the streets at 12 hours notice.

I'd be surprised if we haven't as well. As these things happen within a day or so of winning a trophy it would be stupid not to. I bet we, the club, were booking the hotels for Wembley by the time we were in the 5th round.

Season card holder(yes I know) where can I catch on Clarke's Quay Singapore?

Not been for a while but there were a few places there showing sport. German brew house ( can't remember the name but large and on the quay west side itself) has a lot of screens. Penny Black at the south end shows sport and on Circular Rd behind that is an Irish pub (Molly Malones I think). There were also a surprising number of normal bars showing Saturday football when I was there so you really should have no problem.

We need to press their midfield fast and in packs, get either Westwood or Sanchez to sit a bit deeper and not play to high a defensive line, but also not to deep.
In a way when we are at our best a bit like a poor mans Man U, meaning the cost of players not always the quality and the one thing we have they do not at the moment is Benteke, get him support in the box, be willing to have a shot at every chance and everyone of us get behind them for the full 90, 120 or however long, even if at times things are not going how we want them too.
They are beatable and on May 30th there is one team who can beat them, AVFC.

Booked mine after the Blackpool win. Fully flexible booking.

The Blues did!!! lol

[Tom_Mc9?]

I'd prefer it if we were favourites a bit more often.

6-1 and we'll win the cup...

[pbavfckuwait]

Should be plenty of space and buses in Brum as the Bitters and the Noses had a party arranged they have had to cancel

[dave.woodhall]

25,000 claret and blue scarves are being distributed before the game.

Great stuff, although shouldn't they be claret & blue and red & white for the floating football supporter?  :-)

"Every fan in attendance will be given a very special commemorative scarf. Scarves will be either claret with blue pin stripes or blue with claret pin stripes.  These will be distributed in blocks i.e. one block claret and one block blue, so when seen from a far will give a claret and blue striped effect across all 25,000 Villa fans."

Unfortunately we aren’t able to do a screening at Villa Park. We spent a great deal of time looking into this but operationally it just isn’t possible due to event commitments we had already made.
