Aston Villa in major Cup finals.

There was a guy on Midlands today who they interviewed after the game who said pretty much the same, he didn't care about the result and was just happy he had a day out at Wembley. I too don't get that attitude either although it's no excuse for the team to have it aswell, they should be above that.

What does at least we got their guff mean? I genuinely have no idea.

I have corrected it, clearly still hungover in more ways than one when I wrote that.  A Cup final defeat is one thing, but shoddy grammar is quite another.

I just don't like the "at least we got there" guff

Thanks Dave, I've let myself down.  I would have expected an angry PM from Bad English for that back in 2005.

Coming second is nothing to ashamed of -not that it excuses such a disappointing performance.

I certainly prefer it to being knocked out by the Blades in round 3!
