Something dawned on me earlier, had it not been an awful decision by the referee in the final game of last season we wouldn’t be having this moment. We may well have gone on to win the CL but probably unlikely. We may have made the final and ended up unlucky losers who knows what could have happened.
What we have done, for a fan base and club alike is won some silverware. It’s not as immediately financially as profitable as a season in the CL but winning the thing long term might well prove to be. Would Newcastle swap places with us on Wednesday night? Too right they would.
I had a random chat in a Hammersmith supermarket today after seeing a bloke in a Villa shirt and he said exactly the same thing. I hadn’t actually clocked that myself but he was spot on, just like Bow. All hail shit OT refereeing decisions.
I meant to post this on the "where are you right now" thread but forgot. On Friday afternoon, I found myself on the same Manchester Victoria platform as post Old Trafford last season, nearly a year to the day but in a very different mood.
