FA Cup Final - Pre-Match Thread

[dalians umbrella]

It will be mainly caret,  or mainly blue on both sides, but the detail will be different.

Cheers

I will hold mine with the carrot facing away from the pitch.

Who remembers the dark days of football when the only instructions that ever came with any scarves or flags was not to put them near an open flame?

Phil McNulty, Jonathan Pearce and Mark Lawrenson.

On the train to London. I have reached the watermark for being chronically excited. It all came pouring out on Facebook whilst I was waiting for the train to go.

Well I've got to work this afternoon after you reduced me to tears reading what you'd put on Facebook - cheers! (winky thing)

Been working like an idiot on my house all week.
Just stopped early to give myself the time to sort my stuff for the morning - 1957 replica shirt (worn at every FA Cup game this season), one claret sock, one blue one, Levis, boots - and my overnight bag for hotel stay on Sat night - toothbrush, toothpaste, medication, change of pants, socks, shirt. Villa rain jacket that I wore for the semi - rain forecast for about 6pm tomorrow.

To be honest, they've been ready all week, so I'm just going to sit here now and grow more nervous as the hours go by, plan my sleepless night and look forward to what could be one of the greatest days of my life.

Come on you Villa boys!

It's not hit me yet that we are in the FA Cup Final

Very good.

There was a reason I used the phrase.

I think we line up as usual.

I'd play Guzan and Baker though.

I've been feeling like that all week, but a lunchtime stroll through town and seeing people with bags from the shop with flags, people wearing Villa colour ties with their suits and a couple of groups heading obviously heading down to London today has got me bang in the mood for tomorrow!  Can't wait to get down there now!

Block 530.

just got this from the club Lee...

.

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...

A mate of mine got hold of a ticket from the FA and it is in Block 530. On the emails it refers to Villa tickets, so hopefully no problem there. I think that each FA has tickets for both sections of the ground and allocate them accordingly.

All set now to head south and meet up with my father. To all you lucky lot going tomorrow, safe journey, have fun, sing your hearts out and do us proud. Enjoy.. and bring back the bloody cup!

This is OUR year!
