Some really shocking decisions from the ref tonight. Continues the theme of the whole season this year.

What exactly does Sidwell offer us?

Tactical discipline, biting tackle, simple efficient passing.

Sure thing.

What exactly does Sidwell offer us?

****, post again!!

worried about Guzan , to be a top Prem keeper you need to be able to deal with crosses .. hope it's something he can work on as he looks the part aprt from that .. but you can see the way Blackburn are targetting him

I think with all the skill in the world his height will cause him problems from time to time

****, off the post :S

Jeeeez we should have the London hotel booked up by now.

unbelieveable, guy punches towards his own goal and getsa free kick???!!???

Carling Cup doesn't effect Prem on suspensions does it?

Pretty sure it doesn't (think it was confirmed when Diouf got sent off against us)

If we were Liverpool we'd be able to buy tickets for the final about now

A great embrace after the goal of the future of Aston Villa - Milner, Downing, Young and Gabby BRILLIANT!!!

Wem-ber-ly, Wem-ber-ly

We're all pissed up and we're off to Wemberly

Wem-ber-ly, Wem-ber-ly!!!

Sopcast channel 6816 working well

If we can get a goal in the next 10 we'll be really set up well. Dominating early on. Come on Villa make it count!!

How cheeky can you mget, turning up at your seat late and asking big Sam to get up so you can get past

Where are all the fans!! Mental its a Semi Final!!

GAME ON, COME ON VILLA!!!

Pretty disappointing but do consider the total attendance of all 5 FA cut ties last night was only 38k.

2009-2010 surprise package thats all. There's one every season. This year they are it. They'll still not do anything of any interested come May.

Yeah agree the special was the best thing in a very long while. The "i'll look the other way while my car rolls away" joke is wearing a bit thin but there were a number of great bits in the show and it wasn't ruined by too much stage engineered drama or gags.

One more goal and its game over, come on Villa lets put this to bed

What did Diouf do?

Got sent off!

GTFI!!!

Ha ha Guzan, Must be close to setting a record for peno saves!!!

are people watching/listening to this?

I don't think so, please tell if you have a way

Everton have suspended on-loan striker Jo for a breach of discipline after the Brazilian returned to South America without permission over Christmas.

Jo, 22, is in his second loan spell with Everton from Manchester City.

"We like Jo but there has to be discipline at football clubs," said Everton boss David Moyes.

"He left over a busy period and left us short of players. We've suspended him from the club. It might change but at the moment that's the situation."

The 6ft 3in forward, whose full name is Joao Alves de Assis Silva, scored 44 goals in 77 games for CSKA Moscow before joining City in July 2008.

He signed a four-year deal for a fee thought to be in the region of £18m but struggled to adjust to the Premier League and, following a return only three goals in 18 games, joined Everton on loan for the second half of last season.

After returning to Eastlands at the end of the campaign, Jo rejoined the Toffees in July but has been largely used as a substitute, scoring two goals in 24 appearances

It still amazes me how these footballers do not fully appreciate the incredibly fortunate position they find themselves in.

I'm sure if it were you or I we'd arrive 24 hours early just to be on the safe side.
