Yeah but the scarf idea is manufactured atmosphere, this isn't, apparently. Although considering he wanted us all in Gerrard face masks as it would be a great photo opportunity this is a step up.

I'm all up for big flaggy things but won't this mess up the 25.000 scarf display.

Yep! #facepalm
Nope...again I'm only trying to provide correct information:

We have got wind that Arsenal will have a surfer flag. Since Villa will not bring a surfer this time, as supporters we want to create a surfer flag that will go head-to-head with Arsenal's, before the club's planned scarf display happens.

He calls his own idea "incredibly iconic", Jesus wept.

I hate the design as much as the next man.  But in fairness I think he means the original album artwork is iconic.  Which of course is.

He calls it an incredibly iconic surfer, I don't think he meant the original artwork.

Can we not have a big banner in the style of NWA with players substituted for the NWA crew and' Fuck the FA!!!' on it.

The scarves are enough.

Arse have got a flag, we've got scarves.

Don't need to do a flag just because they are.

I think the scarves are a great idea and gesture from the club...and will hopefully prove to be a great souvenir from a fantastic day.

MOMS, who are doing the flag.

Another idea was we take a load of inflatable European Cups as "Wembley Banter" to the Arsenal fans. Don't have an inflatable European Cup? Well MOMS sell them, which is convenient. Or maybe i'm just getting cynical in my old age!

I'm surprised we didn't do another mosaic, the one at the semi was very impressive and effective. A number of non Villa I know commented on how good it looked.

I just wish it didn't have a reference to the opposition - now there will be two giant flags going around the stadium with "Arsenal" on it.   Surely it would only take a couple of minutes to reword that bit of the design.  Indeed, I just can't stomach how the flag refers to the opposition as "The" Arsenal.  There's only one "The" in football and that's "The Villa"!

I see the Chelsea fans laminated their banter when seeing Gerrard off.

I hope the Hampshire supporters club will be giving the Arsenal fans some stick singing in a cockney dialect.

In my family all the Midlands teams are prefaced by the definite article - The Villa, The Albion, the Wolves, even the Blues.
