I think these drunken incidents happen all the time. Thing Is is all fun and games but when the result goes against you the mood can change very quickly

No Phil my reference was after we won on v Liverpool. This was the first time I noticed that we had far too many utter pricks supporting Villa.

A transport policeman chatted to me on the way back to Kings Cross, he said it's the same  with every big crowd. A small amount of idiot winners and a small amount of losers.

It's a toss of the coin who starts the trouble.

During the conversation a Fulham fan, probably sixty was making pig noises.

To be fair I was pretty impressed that the guys sitting opposite us were planning to go nightclubbing with Jesus when they reached town, although why they didn’t request his divine intervention to speed up the journey...

There was no hope for the shitfaced 15 year old with him that they took in a titty bar earlier mind. By the way, I seem to have ripped you off for a tenner on cab fare! 

I think it worked out as a fifty fifty split in the end which is fine.

It's what happens when people drink all day, some cannot handle it and act up.

Our away following is always pretty boisterous, but only occassionaly moody. Boro and SHA stand out this season.

On days like this a minority of our support is no different from the knuckle heads of SHA I ended up back at Wembley area about 3;30 and was in high spirits af the bottom of the hill but no matter how well oiled I was, I can handle my drink and was fully focused on the job ahead.

The bus that got smashed with the Fulham fans on happened well before 3pm.

Our coach got the rear window bricked on the way back by Selcos.
Apparently by a bunch of traveller kids who appeared to be neither Villa nor pissed .

We were in Flannerys on the high road and had a great time, no issues (my lad loves the twang and the lead singer was a top bloke, his old man was even better). My back went on the way to the ground and I apologise to anyone who saw an old git walking very strangely. My lad videoed it and my daughter says it looks like I was on that spice drug :-(

Summed up the different attitude between the Fulham and Villa players when in the first half a ball was going out for a throw-in in line with our 6 yard box and a Fulham player sprinted after it and nearly stopped it going out of play, not ONE Villa player had reacted to the possibility that the Fulham player might have kept the ball in play!
It summed it up for me, they wanted it much more than us and fully deserved to win.

Time to re-group and start again without Bruce, but with some sort of forward-thinking coach/manager.

Drinking in the Black Lion in Kilburn before the game with the London lions, all was fine and relaxed, though plenty of nerves. There was a big England flag outside with Villa Youth and the Football Lads Alliance badge which surprised me, as the group with the flag were not all white.

Chatted to Fulham fans on the tube - they were convinced they would not turn up. No Tarquinius, just normL fans who had never seen their team at Wembley. The only trouble I saw was on Wembley way where 2 Fulham twats were throwing first beer and then beer cans down at some Villa fans. Two went up to remonstrate and just as the Fulham fans were about to take a pasting  the police intervened.

After the game back in Kilburn we shared a few drinks with Fulham fans as well as the hordes in the pub watching the Other Final. Again, all fine and dandy, with positive comments about our support. For the fans we met it was the best day of their life.

I got off the tube and got absolutely drowned walking home  - torrential rain, thunder, lightning forks every 15 seconds. Summed up the bleeding day.

Oh, I hope we never play another London club at Wembley- Chelsea twice, Arsenal and now Fulham. 4defeats and not a goal scored.

You forgot bloody Spuds, League Cup Final 1971. My first Wembley Final with Villa....scarred this here callow youth (was 15 at the time), as it still pains me to recall the cocky Cockernies beating us...

Same for me, but I was a year older.

As for this time; ghastly.

[Comrade Blitz]

We were in Scotland for the 2000 FA Cup final and Mrs B cried herself to sleep that night. This was the first time I cried after a Villa loss....

So basically in the finals we need to play teams from north or East Anglia.
