Don't go to the Green Man, it'll be absolute bedlam. It is a place where the kids will go (no offence).Where are you staying in London? A load of us used the Swiss Cottage pub just outside Swiss Cottage tube station last time. The tube goes directly to Wembley stadium as well. The pub is not heaving either.
I will be flying over for the final on my own. Do we know yet which will be the Villa pubs around the stadium? Where is everyone planning to be before the game? Cant wait for this and so happy its Derby instead of Leeds (for our chances and the atmosphere).Any advice appreciated. Thanks

Is that the Ye Olde Swiss Cottage?
I know it's horses for courses and whatnot but I can't think of anywhere less appealing to go than the Green Man when you're in a city awash with high quality places to drink.

Went back to having a season ticket last year (it was FA Cup year that I was struggling).I've an American colleague who joined the company two years ago, loves football, came over as an Arsenal fan. Introduced him to Villa, killed that Arsenal bullshit stone dead, had a season ticket the last two seasons now. Actually said to me the other day "I didn't choose Villa, Villa chose me". Fair brought a tear to my eye.He thinks it is entirely normal to go to Wembley once a season.He's also lucked upon a spell of plenty of really entertaining matches. I had to explain how fucking horrific the last 6 years had been and that in each of those years, I had enjoyed about 3 matches a season, tops.
