it is what it is
I’m glad we’re playing the game even if it is with youngsters
I hope you say similar once the match is finished.
I’d take a 5-0 loss now such is my expectation.
To compete against Liverpool we need our best side on top form and them off form. It doesn’t matter what side they put out they will be far too good for our under 23s. This could be really ugly for Villa fans.
I dont give a fuck. The integrity this club has shown to be playing this fixture tonight makes me proud to be a villa fan. No crying, throwing our toys out of the pram just honest and goodness integrity
My thoughts exactly
I’ve supported Villa since 1959 and I’m still not sure what made me choose them. I was born in Kent and my family were more rugby orientated than football so no connection there.
Maybe it was the colours or the very name; someone said the name just rolls over your tongue like honey
Or maybe even at that young age I was aware of the history, tradition and honour of the club
And that is exactly why we are correct to play tonight - we are a “proper” football club and we honour the traditions of the game.
The result is irrelevant but just think what it must be like for our lads tonight
Putting on the famous Villa shirt as a first team player, at Villa Park in the FA Cup against the reigning champions
What wouldn’t we all have given to be able to do that
So never has the cry of “c’mon you Villa boys” been more appropriate
