COME ON YOUR LIONS
This is likely to be my last blog post before the game.
So sitting here with train and match ticket ready, camera in coat and anticipation high there is little else left for us to say
Just enjoy it tomorrow, weather will be lousy but all that matters is the result
Hope in your heart, a few pints and expect no voice left, give it your all, leave nothig behind.
MON will be telling the players this we do our bit on the pitch
Yipee aye Ah, HOLTEENDERS IN THE SKY

Petrov to MISS Carling Cup Final
According to Sky Sports News last night Petrov is unlikely to play in the cup final.
Tsvet on H&V who has good links to Petrov though just posted
A friend got a text from him saying he’s coughing a lot and is feeling very weak, but is getting better since yesterday. I reckon he’d be OK for the final.
I hope this is true because no matter how much I rate Delph the game is an occassion for experience and Petrov deserves his final spot.
SHOCK – Hansen tips us for success
After the highlights of the Man Utd/City game on Match of the Day tonight, Alan Hansen tipped us for success at Wembley
Aston Villa can have a great chance on the counter attack
Steady Alan not too much praise for us !!
To confirm that the final will kick off at 3PM on the 28th February and will be shown live both on BBC and Sky.
Man Utd our bogey team at Wembley, nothing to fear
So we now know who we play at Wembley on Feb 28th (I have my ticket woo hoo !!).
It is of course the mighty (sic) Manchester United who tonight beat Man City 3-1 at the theatre of dreams (urgghhh).
Let me remind you of the past two occasions we played them at Wembley
Saturday 4th May 1957 – FA Cup Final
Aston Villa 2 (Peter McParland, 2) Manchester United 1 (Taylor)
Sunday 27th March 1994 – League Cup Final
Aston Villa 3 (Atkinson, Saunders 2) Manchester United 1 (Hughes)
Not a bad record eh ?
We are the clear underdogs, everyone will write us of like in the previous two and we have nothing to fear from losing as we are expected to.
BRING IT ON
ps. as an after thought but after seeing Bellamy pelted by at least 4 missiles, should their fans be banned at Wembley ?
The panic of the pack (Wembley tickets)
Today as from 9AM as most Villa fans know is when we can go and purchase our tickets online for Wembley. So in theory all 27,000 season ticket holders can go on line and buy their tickets.
However on reading the forums there is a sense of panic over this with the online site crashing due to demand and too many people panicking over this.
STOP PANICKING
There are enough tickets for us all to go around, you will in time be able to get whatever ticket you want. Being the first to get a ticket will not mean you get the best seats (all seats at Wembley are excellent) and no one will miss out.
When I were a lad (well for the 94 final) I queued for 6 hours at the ticket office to get a ticket (season ticket holder) this time you can but almost at any time through three different methods, so NO need to worry, calm down, breathe a bit and stop being soft !
You will get to Wembley.
Train Tickets to Wembley
Warning for you all …
Tried to book tickets for Virgin at what should be £25pp and not taking bookings, prices will be jacked up, get in there as soon as possible tomorrow !!
If you are a season ticket holder you are guarnteened tickets so pre book everything as soon as possible, people will try and rip us all off.
