do you know if they cancel the original ?

Mine went missing is very mysterious circumstances (Royal mail tracked - but they lost it) - I have a replacement e-ticket - but I am paranoid someone will show up with the original 

The guy told me the original would be cancelled and I would be on the duplicate list..

1981/82 retro shirt fresh and ready. 

 

I wore that last season so I'm going with the 57 top this year.

I was working down at Wembley stadium today and I've totally lost my nerve. Seeing crushed looking Sunderland fans has broken me.

Please God deliver us a good performance tomorrow without any referee bullshit, cheating, leg breaking or general shithousery just a good natured game of football with the best team winning.

So pleased we’re not playing those dirty words removed leeds, what a disgrace that could've ended up being.

I have a collection of some old Villa programs. I will quote one if I may.  It's the 1971 League Cup Final v Spurs. Its before my time  but we all know that then Villa were in the third division (league one in 2019) having beaten Man U in the semi final.  The quote below I think holds up still even today-

"The one constant factor in recent times has been the loyalty and faith of the Villa Park crowd. They have become the talk of the game, and the inspiration of the team. It is hard perhaps for those neutrals who live outside  Birmingham to understand  why the Villa Park gates are higher than any in the Second Division this season and many in the First. 

It is hard to grasp why there should be such loyalty at this time. The answer lies in the feeling that something positive is being done to return the club to its former greatness. Not in words, but in deeds. Not in fiction, but in fact. They knew what had to be done, and now they can see what is being done ..... Regardless of today's result the players have found faith in themselves and restored pride to the massive band of supporters who backed them.

There is still much to do, and it would be foolish and futile to put a time limit on achievement. What matters most is that the once-ailing Aston Vila is alive and well.'"

Lets all go down to Wembley Way feeling proud of the team who have had such an amazing run to get here.  We have the players, fans and owners united behind the goal, and that is to win tomorrow. Up the Villa.

...and then 10 years later...

History has this funny knack of repeating itself you know.
