FA Cup Final - Pre-Match Thread

[tomd2103]

Personally, I'd go with the semi team.

We need to be putting Mertesacke under pressure, with his lack of pace

Yep, same for me as well.  LB is going to be a problem if Richardson is not fit.

[Legion]

Block 530 was not late allocation, though.

[CJ]

Block 530.

The flags are in blocks 126-141 and 531-550, so looks like you just missed out 

[Villatillidie25]

Block 530.

just got this from the club Lee...

Supporters sitting in blocks between 126-141 in the lower tier and 531-550 in the upper tier will have a scarf attached to their seat.

yeah and me.

anyone know if block 530, which I am also in, is a fully Villa one as I got mine through the Surrey FA so I can go with Mum, having given up my Villa ticket to someone else or whether there are a lot of FA tickets in the block too...

[Chris Jameson]

If anybody is upset about not getting a scarf or a flag I will happily take your tickets off your hands.

I can only echo what’s been said here. I’ve been asked a hundred times about tomorrow and I am just trying to finish off as soon as I can, so I can get home. I set off at 4:30am UK time tomorrow to get from here to my parking spot at Stanmore and every time I think about it I get a nervous feeling. I want to remain calm about it and say I will enjoy the day, but it’s the trophy I’ve dreamed of seeing us lifting since I was old enough to understand football.

Aye.  I'd put Lowton in at LB if Richardson isn't fit.

[Bad English]

Looks like I've been able to arrange a ticket swap with Eddie the Arsenal fan, so we can be on The Villa section. Many thanks to PeterWithesShin for the alert and help in swapping contact information.

Tell him I'm sorry for calling him a Tarquin. ;-)

[curlytailavfc]

is everyone getting a free scarf i had email earlier saying i do

Supporters sitting in blocks between 126-141 in the lower tier and 531-550 in the upper tier will have a scarf attached to their seat. Not only will the scarf serve as a fantastic momento and souvenir of the occasion for yourself, but we would also like you to help form a sea of claret and blue across Wembley.

[UK Redsox]

I can't see Sinclair starting.

The fullbacks scare me but if Richardson isn't fit, I don't see what else can be done. Baker could play left back but he'd get left for dead by Sanchez/Walcott et al

[Damo70]

                                   Guzan

           Hutton         Okore     Vlaar     Clark

      Bacuna        Cleverley     Westwood      Delph

                                   Grealish
                                 
                                   Benteke

What is our injury news?

[Legion]

No. We're in Block 530 so miss out. If anyone can grab one left behind or not claimed at the end of the game for Freddy I'll be eternally grateful.

[CT]

Been listening to 5 Live all morning and there's been a lot of positivity regarding our chances tomorrow.

I'm getting so bloody excited!
