[Des Little]

Has anyone else not even entertained the possibility that we won't win?

Villa put this up on Youtube today, excellent.

That lap of appreciation was also adorable. I didnt know Tekkers was a dad. Cute as a button.

The video is ace. This place has been a bit more glum than it should be heading into a cup final because of the last two defeats. I hope that as the game edges closer there is a heightened sense of excitement. We deserve to be here and we absolutely can win!

Yes, 30 people so far

I have to point out that the ugly mug with the tin foil cup is my brother. NickyF of this parish. You'd never guess why he made it. He's bloody everywhere. Suspect he'll be charging for photos with the cup on Saturday.

Is there an alternate pre-match thread in the offing ?

Might just as well be this thread.

I'm a bit more curious about the blue face?

PURPLE and blue. Ha ha ha ha.

[chrisf]

Oi Nick. Why have you and the kids got purple and blue faces. ROFL.

[NickyF]

It's lilac and dark blue, it was the best I could do at the time - the kids made me do it. I've properly prepared for Saturday though.

Anyone know of any Villa friendly pubs in and around London that would be good for post match drinks? Staying at a mates in Tooting on the Saturday night.

I'd take colours off after or the door staff might get sniffy. Suggest you do the Northcott Road in Clapham if you are staying down the road in Tooting.

Cheers mate.

I'll probably be having a few on Northcote Road before I head up to Wembley too!

You got tickets mate???

[Ron Manager]

DId anyone see the item about the cup being stolen on central tonight
Who was the bloke telling the story. It wasn't Mr Lerwill by any chance.?

[mrastonvilla]

The view of that villa mosaic from above Wembley is magic. Is there anyway of capturing that as a picture from the video?

[The Man With A Stick]

Is there a plan hatched up by  the Council for a Victory parade on Sunday? Fans need to know so that we can shoot back in time for that!

I'd expect it to be Monday...if we have one at all!

I've booked Monday and Tuesday off, just to be on the safe side.

The BBC are bringing back the "good old days" you may find the line up quite interesting.
