The Road to Wembley:

Oh my God.

Until i saw that, I had come to terms with not having a ticket quite easily.

Now I've got a gnawing feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Marvellous stuff.

[Toronto Villa]

Yep that really is very, very good and so professionally put together.

The Road to Wembley:

Appreciated Daniel.
Head has been battling with heart a little more since witnessing the last two defeats, though can easily write off Sunday with a full strength team wanting to come out unscathed. So important everyone came through safely...

Also glad Baker is back fit, hopefully Vlaar on his natural side will bring the best out if him, unlike playing on the left at Southampton.

I've watched a host of FA/Villa/Fan videos this evening and got in touch with that deeper confidence...

I'm not sure who it was a long time ago seemed to be saying it's our year, with a little more confidence than usual... But I noticed it. 

Delph lifting the cup. Can you see his face?

I had started to convince myself we were going to lose, then I just watched that Gary Lineker FA Cup thing, and the footage of Wigan beating Man City and snapped the fuck out of it.

We're going to win.

Thanks all, some brilliant feedback here, and on Twitter too.

I've convinced myself that this time next week I'll be posting an FA Cup winning video as well, so fingers crossed!

I'm in the zone now. Had a bit of a flap Monday night, but very confident now. It's ours.

Just at KL airport waiting for the flight to UK. Whenever I fly I always have a beer in the airport bar. Was ordering my beer at Brisbane and the bloke standing next to me clocked my top and let on he was a villa fan from Sutton, travelling back for it from Sydney. Bloke next to me on the plane was a
Scouser Liverpool supporter, really nice bloke and wants us to stuff arsenal and win it.

I'm torn between the underdog status. Have to concede we are but don't like it, but kind of happy with it as we pulled it off against Utd as underdogs in the league cup. It can be done.

Looking at that Gabby might be the final piece. (Can we rely on him to turn up though)

The Road to Wembley:

That is fantastic. Love the footage of 1957.

[The Left Side]

Superb stuff

[VancouverLion]

That's ace!!!!

[ChicagoLion]

A combination of Jet Lag and nerves keeping me awake. I am in the right place for some Herbal refreshment (Amsterdam)
I dare not think of either result, jut too scary.
Hope Tim gets the selection right, Arsen gets it wrong and the ref does not decide the outcome.
