If we win in Sunday, it means we're better than Real Madrid too.

So are Norwich.

And if we lose on Sunday, we're on a par with Real Madrid.

Good point for the likely need to launch a rigorous defence of everything Villa in the pub during the aftermath.

Nah, they can all hang if that happens.

I'm going for a Villa win, can't explain that, just a feeling we will want it more then City, City will certainly score, so I'm looking at 2-1 Villa.

From there we relaunch into Premiership safety, so here we go, massive huge weekend coming up.

Is it just tubes to Wembley Stadium that are buggered but you are okay going to Wembley Central? I can't get the stupid TfL site to understand that no buzzes means no buzzes. And that includes shitty replacement ones.

The only thing that looks mildly buggered is the service between Uxbridge and Harrow, which has a rail replacement.  Everything else looks OK.  If you're getting the train from New Street into London, all the routes from Euston to Wembley are running as normal from what I can see.

[cdbearsfan]

Ta. I'm going Marylebone. I thought the replacements were replacement buses, that's not so bad then.

How packed are the Chiltern’s on the way down normally, as this will be the first time I’ve caught one on a matchday?

Very. Expect to stand all the way. Especially if you’re getting on at Solihull.

We seem to do well in league cup finals with a Villa supporting manager so I'm going for a win but will watch from behind the settee.

Couldn’t get a ticket, I live in London and my booking history isn’t good enough.

So I’m at work today and my phone is buzzing all day from a mate, but I’m teaching so can’t pick it up. Finally pick it up at about 4:30, he says where are you watching the game on Sunday? I tell him I’m going to a pub in town (haven’t decided the venue yet). He says do you fancy watching it at Wembley, in hospitality? Can’t believe it. So excited.

Come on Villa!!

Blimey, that's the kind of mate you want!

Enjoy!
