The first semi final I ever went to was back in 1970. Third division Villa v Manchester United (the team of Best, Charlton and Law, who had won the European Cup two years earlier). The first leg ended 1-1 at OT.
For the return, nearly 60000 turned up at Villa Park. Kidd gave United the lead, only for Andy Lochhead to claim the equaliser. In the second half Pat McMahon scored the second. The noise from Villa Park must have been heard right up to Manchester and down to Wembley. I have never known an atmosphere quite as good as that night. Let's recreate that tonight.
Let's believe, roar the Villa on and get through to the final.
Yup - I was there and it was A.Maz.Ing.
I was there too. Never known an atmosphere like that. The resulting final finalised my hatred of Spurs.

Abject terror is slowly turning into excitement and anticipation now.

Will probably last for 90 seconds until the team news.

The more I think on it the more he needs to play Lindelof in midfield.

If we haven't thought it worth experimenting with that up to this point, there's absolutely no way that tonight is going to be the first time.

Nailed it.
