“The only disappointment with Villa Park is that the corners of the ground are open”

Fuck off.

This. Fuck off again.

Then come back, and fuck off some more.

Fuck Off

Fuck Off

Oh and while you're at it fuck off

Four cough, FFS.

[Duncan Shaw]

I'm with everyone suggesting the fucking off!

Revisiting the glorious game over the weekend again, I'm on the telly clear as day when they zoom in on Deano celebrating the first goal!!

Villa Park would be much improved with a redeveloped North wrapping round in unison with thebTrinity Road and Witton Lane.

The acoustics and sound would be trapped. The ground would be louder, look better and be more intimidating for away support inside the ground.

I would knock the Witton down too though and re-build it with bigger concourse.

If there was any major rebuild the Alexandra stadium could be used post commonwealth games while it still has 40,000 seats.

I've just watched the Dean Smith one....goosebumps

Compare and contrast with Lampard in the dressing room after their semi-final win. I have no axe to grind with Lampard (politics aside) or Derby, but the difference does highlight that a bit of distance from the troops, even in victory, is probably a more sensible approach.

Or I could be talking nonsense again.

Think you're right. Given Derby's beef with Leeds starting from January beating them was what they wanted and that felt a mini play off final win with their celebrations.

It was similar to us beating Liverpool in FA cup semi final and mass celebrations after. Yes a brilliant day but we then had the tourist look on cup final day and it showed on the pitch from first minute. Same for Derby although obviously closer game.

There were a lot of Derby fans there for a big day out. We turned meaning business.

Final day was a long one as I went there and back. Left my house at 5.30am and got home at 2am on Tuesday.  I also managed a 2 day hangover to follow.

We were in the North Star on the Finchley Road at 10am before a wander down to Swiss Cottage. H+Vers on show everywhere.

It was good fun. We also had the German and Italian contingents there after the match as well.

There's only one Sexual Ealing, and so many men...

Some statto at the match reminded me that Villa's Wembley record during the past (declining!) nine years is not too shabby. 6 appearances in 9 years is an average of once every 18 months - fairly respectable outside of the clusterfuck at the top of the Prem League.

And our winning  percentage, in that time, is 2 out of 6 or 33%, which compares quite favourably with the right-wing distraction and divide project known by the 'B' word where 36% of the electorate or 26% of the population decided that people in the UK will have their social and economic lives fucked-over - long-term, big-time - even more than before the vote.

I was at the Cottage after the game too but you would only know me as the guy who stood on the table and took the group photo!

Ah yes, I remember you! Any chance of a PM to share the photo?
