The ticket-sales breakdown for the four semi-finalists this year were approximately:

Nottingham Forest - 36,000

Crystal Palace - 35,500

Aston Villa - 34,000

Manchester City - 27,000

How the fuck did that happen? We had 1500 less than Palace and 2000 less than Forest? Capacity of 90000 and the attendance on Saturday was less than 83000. What the hell gives?

Saw that, they can be accurate. For starters City had a lot less that  7k for us.

There's always one "half" that's smaller than the other. I remember we had fewer tickets than Derby, too.

Haarland and Rodri have both returned to full training. In retrospect, well done Villa for saving me £250-300.

What is an FA cup?? - i am a Villa fan and thus have no knowledge of this fabled Trophy that appears to be nothing but an unnattainable myth, a pipe dream, a hallucination of unknown origin. I stopped believing in such nonsense years ago and have seen absolutely fuck-all since to make me change my mind.

You know ACL’s that put our players out for 15 months but put players of other teams out for 8.

Well an ACL is a ligament. If you are talking about injuries to it, Kamara was out for 8 months with his. (As an aside, glad to see Ramsey Middle came on as late sub for Burnley the weekend).
