So, there's plenty of us who will be relying on the telly and VT tomorrow. Help us share the atmosphere of the day by posting your best photos through the day. Let's see nonsense, shenanigans and plenty of smiling Villa fans enjoying their day in the sun. Happy snapping.

No, but that thought did / does enter my mind, whenever Gordon Brown is mentioned. I could see how that would work better but I generally don't encounter former Prime Ministers in the shower every morning.

Am I the only person that thinks "Texture like Sun" when encountering these products?

What is this BGT you speak of? Never heard of it.

Pretty much this. Signed the petition though - for all the good it'll do. Impressed with the statement from the Arsenal fans though. Good work, Gooners.

Sure we'd be willing on the other team if we were in that situation* but for the club to get onboard is more than a little silly. (* we can but dream)

Aye, the writing was on the wall in January when Benham was going to stump up for several new players that the moneyball (which I presume is like a magic 8-ball) had shown would significantly improve the squad's chances of promotion, only for Warburton (allegedly) to scupper the deals. Sorry Stefan - was busy re-writing my post completely when you replied. Your point addressed in my edited post

Bloody poles. Coming over here, taking our bus stops.

I don't see the problem. His contract had expired, they offered him improved terms a few times and Jokanovic held out. They decided they'd reached their limit and looked elsewhere. As for the Brentford story, alluded to in the OP, again it's not reflective of what happened. It's hardly surprising, given the ongoing media "narrative" that's been peddled. Warburton has done a great job at Brentford but the owner, Benham has clear plans for the direction of travel for the club as a whole. This included the installation of a continental style DOF (not to be confused with an Irish style BOF) at this point in proceedings. Warburton had a one-year rolling contract, at his behest and when Benham said he was pulling the trigger on the DOF appointment, he gave Warburton the opportunity to stay under the new structure. Warburton declined, they both shook hands and Benham went to work on finding a new Head Coach (appears to be Marinus Dijkhuizen from the looks of it). It drives me cracker to keep hearing that Warburton was sacked. He took the job in the first place, knowing the direction of travel and when it got to a certain point, he jumped. Simple-as.

If you think she's so far out of your league, there'll be an obvious reason why she's slumming it with you. My guess would be that she's got a willy. Or maybe I'm just presuming that because it happened to me, it'll happen to you?

I'd love Pritchard but can't see any way that he'd be available. I've seen a lot of Brentford this season and he's been their standout player, particularly in the second half of the season. The trouble is he is still quite raw at times and makes poor decisions on occasion. He is very highly rated at Spurs though so I don't see them being interested in listening to offers.

So, our number one royal fan is presenting the cup. Can't wait to see him holding the trophy with claret and blue ribbons on it.

He's bigger than me and you and now he's making movies: Apparently this is his third film already!

1 in 8?

Oddly disappointing. A few good moments but seems very ramshackle. Can't decide if I like it or not: Love it:

Quoted for future reference. No rings though - I want a full doughnut full of jammy goodness (which coincidentally is probably what we'll need to win!)

To be fair, he's got one thing right. Carragher is a nob.

Which games did you watch in the preliminary rounds then?

I'll be doing everyone a favour and staying away from Wemberlee. Any time I've ever been there (including my first visit as a ten year old to the 1984 FA Vase final - special thanks to Match magazine for the ticket!), the team I've been supporting have lost. I dream of being there when my team lifts a trophy but I'm so far past believing it's possible that I'll just watch it at home. I have a much better win percentage in my living room.

I tried the iPad version last year. Lasted about two hours with it but it bored me to death.

Anyone know if the match day programme will be available to buy online ahead of the day?

You've got over it already? Clearly not a real fan

Mine's permanently full of receipts for things that I'm going to claim back for work. That and cards. x2 credit and one debit card, petrol card x2, works credit card, RAC card, Oyster card, office pass x3 and a nectar card. Never any money though. I've so far managed to never lose my wallet although I did find a tenner on the ground coming out of an Alvechurch match when I was a nipper. I pointed it out to my dad and as I did so, my mate who I'd taken along, swooped in and grabbed it before I got to it. Never forgiven him.
