Great result tonight don't forget to book those tickets for next Sunday 2pm. Could be a record home crowd. Was only around 1200 left about 8pmĀ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Last season's semi-finals were between West Ham and Man City and Arsenal and Chelsea, and they were played at West Ham's Chigwell Construction Stadium and Arsenal's Meadow Park, so not neutral. We're actually a very good away side, have the fourth best record in the league, just three points less than Man Utd who have the best away record. In fact we've picked up sixteen of our twenty-six points away from home, our form at Bescott isn't great, I think six of those ten home points have come at Villa Park, the wins against Reading and Man City, our only league win at Bescott I think was the Spurs win. So basically an away draw might actually be good for us, either that or move the game to Villa Park if possible. Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Just looked through the semi-finals of the last five or six years and none of them have been played at the club's main stadium, always at the smaller stadium that the women's teams use. So maybe there's some sort of rule in place where if team gets an home draw they have to play it at the women's 'official' ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Less than two years ago Man City beat us 8-0 in the FA Cup, looking at the squad for that game, of the seventeen players listed only Freya Gregory and Olivia McLoughlin are still with us, and they both started the game as eighteen and sixteen year olds. Technically Sian Rogers, and Elisha N'Dow are still Villa players, but out on loan. Come a long way, Freya Gregory the only player part of both squads and to play in both games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 When you look at the players Man City have with some of the best international ones, it's just brilliant from this Villa team to have played them three times this season and to be unbeaten! What a turnaround. This must have surprised a lot of people. But even better, to have won two of the three games, wow, that's an amazing achievement! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
