A season?!

I'm struggling to think of 3 matches in total that I enjoyed during the TSM, Lambert, Sherwood, Garde, RDM, Bruce era - Sunderland 6-1 at home.  Liverpool FA Cup semi-final.  And...

West Brom QF? Return to the Dark Ages and all that!

Sunderland away, Everton home under Dim Tim, Liverpool away under TSM2, Wolves and Bristol City home with Bruce. There’s a few. Not many though. Absolutely nothing at all under Garde.

That game did cross my mind but I was away and ended up watching it on telly with my Baggies-supporting brother-in-law!

So it was good, but more for the fact I could bait a Bitter in close proximity!

The Palace game their keeper threw one in between his legs, borderline our player of the season.

Kilburn High Street is normally a good place with lots of pubs and a short trip to Wembley.

Kilburn has loads of watering holes.

Beating Man City at home 3-2 with a front pair of Kozak and Weimann was also fun. Beating Chelsea 3-1 away under TSM? Agree with the original point though, it was all pretty bleak!

Its a day trip as I will be in Dublin the weekend before for a wedding so will be heading to Wembley from Heathrow.
So you will still need to get to central London and out again to Wembley as I am not sure Wembley is  on any route from Heathrow.

Slight thread creep, apologies. My lad has to go back to his mother's in that London on the train on the 27th. Normally he goes from Wolves, but timings mean we'd spend most of the match in the car, hardly a brilliant outcome. I'm therefore considering taking him into brum earlier so we can watch somewhere on a big screen with fellow Villans, meaning we could squeeze in extra time and pens if it comes to that (which it won't)

Can anyone recommend somewhere that is likely to be showing the game near New St where I can take a 14yr old please?

Most grateful for any help

I reckon you'd be alright in the new Snobs, it's on Smallbrook Queensway just down from New Street station.

Thanks LeeB, greatly appreciated. I'll give them a ring and enquire.

Rodders Jr's first ever game at Villa Park was in the Upper Holte as an 8yr old, so he knows all the chants, loves swearing and banter etc
