Aston Villa v Man City League Cup Final Pre Match Thread

[Villa Lew]

After all the doom and gloom of yesterday, feeling a lot better now and looking forward to what might be one of the great days in our great history. Lee Mason's the ref, not one of my favourites, just hope he gives Jack some protection. One thing is certain today the Villa fans will be outshouting the City fans, there's no contest there.

Anyone heading to Swiss Cottage? After pre-match drinks there for the last couple of years am looking forward to popping in and asking for a pint of my usual!

Our fans will be outstanding which will lift our team and scare the shit out of ther Man Plastics.

Plenty of social media rumours (I know I know!) that Louis Barry is in the squad today.

Not woken up this nervous or excited before a Wembley game since United in 94. Come on Villa, we can do this.

Clammy here in Uganda nearing lunchtime & power back on at my brother in laws. Whilst the hotel bar I’m going to watch at might have a back up generator just occurred to me to bring my iPad in case I need a back up. Please make yourself hoarse those on your way, as has been said, I think our extra voice and passion can make a difference.

Looking forward to seeing some different players for us today. That's if Smith is good to his word. I'm sure I'll sigh if we're unchanged.
