Anyway, this Aloe Vera gel....

I've got your wife's phone number.


In retrospect those two sentences look very suspect!

Through a friend I met a couple of fellas tonight who are iron ore traders in London. They have a colleague who is a Villa fan bit was going to miss the final because of his sister's wedding on Saturday.

One very wealthy colleague offered him the use of his private helicopter so he went to the wedding, made a speech  and jumped in the helicopter to Wembley to watch us surrender, then got the helicopter back to Brum. Apparently it cost him £600 in petrol.

I'm glad it wasn't me.

Richardson did well and Given made a couple of really great saves and from our point of view that's about it.

Oh yes, one positive was us handing over Dave Cooper's surprise ticket on the Friday night. He has had a rough trot recently and that moment where he realised how highly his mates thought of him, coupled with the emotion of what has been going on in his personal life, meant there were quite a few tears.

Carcking story, well done to you all.

He's obviously a bad omen so don't do it again.

Yes, make sure you stay away in 2030!

When 2030 comes around I will be old enough to forget the game as soon as it finishes, so if we lose I won't remember it.

No positives. Just a horrid performance and result. Worse than 2000.

It was a dose of reality and I hope it has been recognised

Six days on and I am still mortified by that abject performance. Gutless.

It was fooking pathetic. That fly on the wall bbc3 doc really rammed it firmly home. On the day I was too numb to realise the scale of the shiteness.

Same here. I came home and deleted the lot. Haven't seen anything on the telly nor the radio or Internet. The only thing I've looked at is the post match thread on here, and that was painful enough.

I got home from wembley and had to watch Motd just to make sure. The bbc3 thing was funny apart from the clips of the actual game.
