Hev

Iam still upset by last night. Drove up there with a heavy cold and drove home with a heavy heart as well. Wasted half a day of my holiday for that,not to mention petrol money! I couldn't believe that we didn't have a proper go at this - we could have beaten Man City, then Reading at home and got to Wembley again (albeit that I don't agree with playing the semi finals at Wembley). Wondering whether to bother going to Bolton now (but I know I will). Quite honestly, I just can't wait for this season to end. I have always been one of the "Give Houllier time" brigade but after last night, I am starting to think twice. :cry:

I remember many posts on VT at the time pleaading with Villa to sign "The Yak"

Correct - my cars have all been male

All my cars have had names (sorry) :oops:

Well the way they are going this season , I reckon they will fluke a win in the Cup too !

I love the checks down the side. Nike shirts seem to be very small though - need to buy next size up

I don't think we have any cause to laugh at them lately! They are in the CC Final and on a good run of form - only two points behind us now with two games in hand. There is no way they are going down now (unfortunately). Knowing the luck they are having lately, they will probably fluke a win at the CC Final too! (Hate them more than ever now)

What? You are Hercules??? WOW (where was Bella) - by the way Off Topic I know but people should watch Bella pre-match, she is very funny the things she gets up to .

I love cats. Wiggy and Bromsgrove AVFC - your comments about your cats have quite upset me! I still haven't got over reading about that absolute bitch who threw a defenceless and cute little kitten out of the flat window in Stechford - but that's another subject I guess. Cats over dogs every time for me

I reckon we will get either Man U (we haven't had them for a couple of seasons after all!!!) or Blooz again - I just have that awful feeling - if Blooz let's hope it's a home tie this time! Otherwise I'd like a nice lower league team away - Crawley Town or something!!

Heard a Bloozer on Talk Sport this morning saying in relation to our City is Ours that Villa can have the City on 27th February as they'll all be at Wembley.

Do you not think that this might lift them up now for the relegation scrap and pull them right out of it - or do you think they may take their eye off the ball a bit? I would much rather that they hadn't have got to Wembley though

Paper away from the wall for me too (as in the diagram)

Hmm a bit worried about talc now - might have to finish up what I've got and then stop using it - just stick with the body butter/lotion. My bathroom does get very talcy - it is a pain in that way I admit. :cry:

Oh No, I just hate Stand by Me (except the Oasis one) - I presume you're on about the Ben E King / John Lennon Stand by Me and not the Oasis one? Still if it were to be that, and we adopted it as our "Anthem" then so be it - I guess I would get to like it. We definitely need an Anthem (and new run out music)

This thread is hilarious. You can't get Talcum Powder as much as you used to be able to though lads so you had best buy Baby Powder or maybe some "Simple" talc? I always use it but some of my friends don't anymore - I find it a godsend after a nice shower and before applying body butter (you men will be on to that next!) Ha ha

I have thought for so long that we should have our own "anthem". Brilliant to bring this to a thread. Going round the grounds, VP has one of the worst pre-match atmospheres of any. Quite a few play the same series of songs leading up to the team coming out tune. eg Liverpool - Fields of Anfield Road and YNWA, Everton - Grand Old Team thing and Z-Cars, even Blooz play Mr Blue Sky and then The Tamperer (which I must admit is a great tune to come out to) - maybe if we had a selection of tunes and possible coming out on to the field tunes, we could have maybe the top three played to build up to the final coming out tune - but please scrapt that awful shrieking that we come out to now - it's dreadful. (I still think Marillion Assassing has one of the best intros and could be great to come out to). I am all in favour of this, we need to build up the pre-match atmosphere in my opinion. Let's have some ideas and a Poll. - Sorry I can't think of anything other than the one I've said for running out to at the moment. We need more Rock tunes though I think

Aah but can you say the letter "K"?

Tom Ross said earlier that Sky saying RK was having a medical at Blooz was all rubbish and that Keane himself "just doesn't fancy the move" - (the words of Tom Ross)!! We shall see If they get him though, he's bound to score against us .

What's happened to AVFC Laura lately (seeing that she started this topic reminded me that she hasn't been seen on here for a while) - wasn't she seeing one of the other posters too?

Just to think, after Man City on Tuesday, I was seriously considering not putting myself through this, but, so glad I went now. It is days like Monday that make you keep going to away games and suffering all the dross, just for the odd great game like that. More please and let this be the start of a run now. What about whoever it was after Man C that said they HAD taken their tickets for Chelsea back!! Bet they regret it now.

I can only say that I just feel really, really sad! Whilst the "Let's pretend we've scored a goal" was quite funny at Liverpool, today, it just wasn't . Sad day to be a Villa fan today.

I have the same grater as Mike too. What you do is you grate your object so far, then, when getting near to your fingers, you eat the rest - thereby avoiding any nasty accidents !! - Particularly if you're grating chocolate to put on a cake.

We DID come away with a point Andy - but I know what you mean, it felt like a loss! In fact, we were saying that when virtually the same happened at Stoke earlier in the season, although we lost that game, we had dropped only one point from a drawing position. This time, we were in a winning position and dropped to a draw - thereby losing two points - gutted. Great atmosphere though and great meal before the game at a little cafe nearby. Love going to Fulham, one of my favourites. The "shoes off" thing was good, but didn't Newcastle do it first?

Yeah, I love Fulham away too - lovely surroundings
