Who did we beat in the semi final? I have already forgotten.

Thanks mate, hope you come straight back up as I love going to Fulham, and if you do it at the expense of the bitter Baggie twats, even better!

The only disappointment last night was the balti pie. The pastry had been baked to within an inch of its life.

They need to sort this out.  The pies in the upper Holte are a disgrace.  They've been on the hot bed so long the bottom bit of pastry and about a cm of the filling is a rock hard inedible mess.

I sat in the lower Holte and found my balti pie to be just the ticket!! The contents were like lava though, so you do need to aerate it by removing the lid a bit, before scoffing it down.

Mine in the Trinity was perfect.

The one I had the week before at the Watford game was fantastic.

The one I had at the Watford game in Trinity Road was OK, it was just the uncooked cold chips & the I cant really be arsed attitude of the staff that really spoilt it as a culinary experience.
Tuesday night I went all in on a jerk chicken burrito from Leave It To Esmie at Digbeth Dining Club, it was ruddy marvellous. You can keep your balti pies & shit attitude thanks.

We we're on holiday in the Trinity due to our seats being in the North stand, so I can't comment from a regular experience, but the staff I dealt with on Tuesday were very nice, and so was my pie.

Then again, maybe the sheer beauty of my face invokes a more favourable response from strangers, I imagine you have the opposite issue Jon?

That hate us with a passion! Lovely reading their bitter comments; very entertaining!

It’s more than hate. It’s weird, their existence isn’t about supporting their own club it’s following what Villa do. It’s really strange. How can you have a 100 page thread on another team’s game?!

It’s like being stalked by an obsessive psycho-narcissistic ex. Quite disturbing, really.

Frankie's first match..."We're the famous Aston Villa  and we're going to Wember-lee!"  The Chappell clan (veterans of '94 and '96 Villa League Cup victories) with the latest recruit - wide-eyed with wonder on joining the Villa family: Frankie Chappell. What a match to start your footballing life!

Is your name Simon, we’re you drinking at the far side of the small bar in the Aston Social before the game?

Slightly off topic, but here goes, at the match I saw a few claret and blue stripey bobble hats with the round badge but with “The Villains” on it. Anyone know where I can get one of these? Not on the OS shop as far as I could see. Cheers.

They sell them outside the ground on the mech stalls in Trinity Road.  Unfortunately they've spelt Villans wrong, so they're not for me.

Cheers Franky.
Hate the Europa League though.
Hope you come up.

Ah cheers, I did not get that close to check.

No. Simon's my nephew (on the left of the picture) and he was drinking in the Aston Social before the match. Frankie is his son.  The others in the picture (left to right): Robert, Eve and the patriarch of the family: Trev.

Whereabouts is the Digbeth Dining Club stuff at VP?

Is it at every game now?

I would have gone on Tuesday night if I knew it was there.

Ah, I see. I thought I recognised Simon in the Social but wasn’t 100% sure so didn’t chat to him. I know him from Greensleeves, I run the Burton area. Pass on my best wishes when you see him next.
