Agree with this. Villa are not at fault it's just because we are part of the Premier League. The Bundlesliga model is the one to follow but nothing will change because the Premier League generates so much money...unless the fans took action...ie stopped buying tickets/sky subscriptions.

Yes it nearly happened in 2006 or 2007 when attendances dropped. It annoys me when people on these forums and in general think they are better fans as they attend matches. A lot of people can't afford to or would prefer to spend their money on things they know they will be satisfied with. For me at the moment it is spending money on a night out with friends or a woeful Aston Villa team the first option wins every time.

Why do people say pitch invasions are embarrasing? At the moment we have one chance a year of progressing to a final by winning at our home stadium and if the second leg is away then this chance is cancelled out. Its like saying celebrating your birthday is embarrasing or christmas.

What is it with you and money?

Modern football aint cheap Im afraid pal.

I just think its ridiculous id pay £30 for villa v arsenal when you can have a season ticket for one of the best teams in the world bayern munich for under 150 pound full adult. I just feel sorry for fans who go every week and are bankrolling these players who do little or nothing for this club and a vast amount who are totally woeful.

Bet you'll be one of the first to moan if you miss out for a ticket at Wembley though (obviously assuming we get there)

I wouldnt mind going to the final but ive been to two matches at new wembley and the tickets are rip offs and the atmosphere of the new ground is gash. A lot cheaper to watch at home

Im really suprised this one will be over 40k. After the last month of terrible performances I was never gonna pay to watch this especially at those prices.

I can't believe people are still backing Lambert. Hes brought up mostly average or poor players in the summer and hasnt signed anyone even on loan in this window. Mcleish did better for us than he did and thats no joke.

Well fail to get through angry pitch invasion by our fans and Lambert is sacked. I hope for the last bit anyway.

Ive calmed down a bit now but I want him gone ASAP. We are a joke they nearly won at the end and in every match you just feel the opposition will score. People can say he didnt get the backing he spent 20 million 10 or so of it on league 1 standard players. Please Please sack Lambert Im losing my will to follow this team with him.

SACK LAMBERT NOW SMALLTIME MANAGER GET OUT OF OUR CLUB YOU CU*T.

Read on the Bradford forum some of their fans brought tickets in the Holte end haha they better have bodyguards is all ill say.

Forget Michael Johnson.

Think women's football league. Nobody's tapped it yet.

Villa can be first.

First to hire a female player. Add it to our list of achievements as a club - best academy, best ground, best community programme, best for women players.

Start with something a bit more passionate and nastier that we got... this girl is superb.

Yes lets sign up someone who beats up mormons haha.

According to sources, Lambert has not had them in for training all week. However they will be in tomorrow to watch opposition videos and light training.

Thats gotta be nice having half a week off earning 20k in that half a week for doing nothing then getting paid another 20k even though they are not premier league standard. Jeez I hate modern football and I hope Lambert gets sacked ASAP.

Yer no way im wasting money on this bunch of losers now pathetic players pathetic manager.

Fck off Lambert

We never looked like scoring? Except the 6 times we very nearly did you mean?

Awful chance conversion in this team. We are only above Newcastle in that stat.

We didnt know I didnt really ever have hope we did 8 goals at home in league all season fcking disgrace. Lambert signed these cu*ts so Lambert out.

In before the hundred calls to sack Lambert.... a committee of Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola could not get this collection of inexperienced and frankly not good enough players to win.

I've not been a Villa fan (quite) long enough to follow a second-tier club, so for novelty's sake I'm already looking forward to next season. Cheer up, everyone.

Edit: Something about the match then. Very pleased with the second half, but we'll go down with this backline. Vlaar is much missed but, really, our fullbacks weren't up to scratch today. Puncheon had a field day.

Those 3 managers wouldnt have kept these crap players though and would have signed winners not losers like Bennett.

lambert out a better squad needed. You can say we played well but we never really looked like scoring I have no confidence in us at all. Barry Bannan I just despise.

Barry bannan your crap.

It was a dive but we are a joke anyway WE ARE GOING DOWN.

I said if we beat Southampton by 2 or more goals I might buy tickets so ill see what happens.

A third of a way through the window and we aint signed anyone yep we're going down.

£29 for a cup semi a rip off?? are you for real?

go see how much they are charging arsenal fans for a standard league game

you can critise the team but this i think is an unfair critism

For a under 21 in the doug ellis and trinity its that and yes that is a ripoff.

How many tickets we sold. I really shouldnt go because I think well lose and ill just wont be able to take it and tickets are a rip off to be honest.

Lionel Messi Xavi and Pique have all been spotted on a newsagent in Birmingham are they signing for Villa or just becoming paperboys.

TRUE STORY

Where the **** is Vlaar ??

Don't be mean hes only get 7 years more out then hell be back in training.
