villa4europe Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 My biggest fear is that it's going to be an embarrassing defeat and that we don't even give Arsenal a game. I can take a loss, but if we can't get into the game at all I'll be so disappointed. Yep, put in a performance similar to boro last weekend, would be heart breaking, I'll be upset if we play well and get beat by a better team but not turning up or being done by the ref (again) would be crushing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heid3ster Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 My stomach keeps doing flip flops. Thank God it's been busy at work this week so my mind has been occupied most of the time, but whenever I have any down time I start panicking. PLEASE WIN. I BELIEVE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackpotForeigner Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'm trying to remain realistic: Arsenal could very easily humiliate us if they turn up. Even if they're only half motivated they could beat us pretty easily. Considering the state of our defence and our performances in the last two games, if we were to win (apart from being one of the best things ever to happen) it would pretty much be a miracle. Expecting to win would really be setting yourself up for spectacular disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 This game is going to be all about our defence for me. I can see Delph and Cleverely really lifting themselves and going toe to toe with the Arsenal midfield, if Westwood can raise it again I can see us competing against what is a fantastic midfield. If they do that then we know Jack and Tekkers can cause them problems. I am worried about Sanchez vs Bacuna, I am also very worried about LB mainly because I have no idea who will play there. An 80% fit Richardson against Walcott scares the living day lights out of me. I know Ramsey generally gets the nod in the big games but I'd be amazed if he doesnt start Walcott given our struggles against pace in behind. CB also worries me given our injuries and form. However if we can somehow cobble together a back four that have the game of their lives it could be a really really good game. Come on you Villa Boys!

The_Lions_Roar Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) Buzzing now! Can't wait to be down Wembley tomorrow, just hope if we do lose we put in a proud performance! I think it's just hit me, we're in the **** fa cup final! Edited May 29, 2015 by The_Lions_Roar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Could Be Rotterdam Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Fridays are always the biggest day of the week at work and yet all I can think about is tomorrow. I've been quite pessimistic/realistic all weekend today I've woken up really believing we can win this. We want it more than their fans, and if we can lift the players like we did in the semi then anything can happen! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Marley the Bognor Villan Posted May 29, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2015 Watching this one with my dad and my little boy at home. Sanchez is the danger for me, if we can keep him quiet that will be a big help. If Tekkers, Bacuna, Delph, Cleverley and Jack play like they did in the semi we have an excellent chance of causing an upset. We were unlucky not to beat Man City and we beat Liverpool so if we turn up we can give Arsenal a run for their money (bearing in mind that they couldnt beat sunderland at home!). We were massive underdogs when we beat United in 57, Bayern Munich in 82 and Barcelona in 83 and United in 94 so, we go again... Trying to stay optimistic here! lol 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piav_k4 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) The negativity is understandable and annoying in equal doses. Of course it’s a giant task but Blues beat Arsenal in a final, Wigan beat Man City. Let us have some faith and dare to dream. Arsenal have struggled badly in recent appearances at Wembley. The Semi Final v Wigan last year only just scraping through on penalties. Fortunate for a magical free kick from Cazorla to get them back to 2-1 in the last final and even then, Aluko should have got Hull back in it. They were also fortunate to beat Reading this year, thanks to a bad one from Federici. And when the pressure was on v Monaco at home in a game they simply had to win, they lost 3-1. It is not going to be easy, and we will need a little luck. But we can win this Final and we can lift this cup!

Popular Post SeanO Posted May 29, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2015 Relax, you've got to be in it to win it! Arsenal are a great team but so? I know we have the players to beat them if they play well and if they can't get up for a final then nothing will motivate them. Tomorrow is the chance for each and everyone of them to become our heroes, to be talked of in the same breath as those great players who have brought us trophies in the past. I believe Sherwood gets it and the players have to understand that for some of them this is it they may never get another chance. It wont be easy, Arsenal wont roll over but that's the point if it were easy then we wouldn't have had to wait since 1957. I've been a Villan since the 60's, I thought back in 81 and 82 we would win everything we were Champions and then Champions of Europe but sadly it didn't happen. Since then just 2 League Cups. Don't let yourself be eaten up by fear about tomorrow, stand tall sing loud and don't take a backward step. Enjoy every second as it may be a long time before we are in this position again. This is going to be fun. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
