John Terry 16/1 to score in the 90 mins at anytime on Saturday.

I had to have a flutter on that.

my eldest reckons he’s seen it in a dream

Does ‘anytime’ include extra time if it happens, I know it says anytime but you know what bookies are like

Will only be inside 90 minutes for ‘anytime’

There are a handful of tickets available on the official Villa site now. Don't know why as Its supposedly sold out.

I know its on the wrong thread but people might not see it on the tickets and travel thread.

Be returns and people taking up Club Wembley offers.

An Aston Villa fanatic could miss his team's Championship play-off final on Sunday after his dog became overcome with excitement and chewed his tickets.

Andrew Talbot was overjoyed when he managed to get tickets for Villa's match of the season.

But his happiness turned to horror when his pesky cockapoo George got his chops on them after they dropped through his letter box.

George is now in the dog house with Andrew who faces an anxious wait to find out if he can still attend the final with his sons, Charlie, 12, and Louie, 10.   

Villa have thrown the family a lifeline by putting it on its ticket reprint list.

It is hoped the Andrew, of Sutton Coldfield in the West Midlands, and his sons will have unchewed tickets ready for them to collect before the final.

Mr Talbot, who tweeted about his plight using the hashtag £dogforsale, said: 'I only found out about this when I received an awkward phone call at work from my wife, Nikki,'

'She called me to say something serious had happened! I couldn't shout at the dog because I was at work.

'He's only four months old and he's into chewing like most puppies. Only recently he's discovered a penchant for paper, as you can see by the state of the tickets.

'My colleagues at work have been royally taking the mickey.'

The 45-year-old Trinity Road season ticket holder has also been frantically contacting Wembley and Villa to check that the chewed-up tickets are still valid for Saturday's crunch clash against Fulham.

Fulham are the bookies' favourites to clinch victory and win promotion to the Premier League, but Mr Talbot is confident Steve Bruce's underdogs will have their day.

'I think we'll win because Fulham showed in the big game against Blues they don't really have the experience, and bottled the big occasion,' he said.

I was just going to ask if his name is Jimmy Cun, and it very nearly is.

I've just had a horrible thought. Apologies if already mentioned, but is there a chance that Bruce will move Hutton to the right and play Taylor on the left?

A possibility if Elmo fails his fitness test.

That would be horrible.

That would be like trying to plug a leak in your bath by smashing it with a hammer.
