ED Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Last night wasn't really that tense. At 2-0 down I was angry, at 2-1 I knew we had extra time if needed to get another, I suppose for the penalty but thats it, once that was in it was never really in doubt, Rovers 2 second half goals were too little too late. The second half was just a party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasley14 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I went for Blackburn purely because we scored 6 goals at home in a semi. The Tranmere one was probably better all round buy hey, Blackburn was yesterday :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrees Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Tranmere (45) The Witton Lane upper was literally moving during that game. Last night's match didn't get anywhere near the atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthdc Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Watched Tranmere on the box - had no nails left, the last gasper that forced ET then the Tranmere FK that hit the post and then the shootout that swinged several times. For high drama, that game wins. Yesterday, only the first 30 minutes were tense, because we were bloody awful. As for Tranmere, still got the video as its the only way to get the highlights for every round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stato Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 The Witton Lane Upper actually started some songs up last night! Was in there last night and for Tranmere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I'm only 22 so didn't go to Tranmere, I think it beats the Blackburn game for drama though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tismyk Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Got to be Tranmere of the 2, but the best was against Man Utd in 1970, they were the best side in Europe and we were in Division 3, came back from 1-0 down to win 2-1 in front of 65,000 fans, 28,500 on the Holte End, the noise eclipsed anything i have heard at VP since.The next day was Xmas eve, what an early present.

Coleshill_Villa24 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I went to both and both was amazing! Glad I was there for all '4 legs'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted January 21, 2010 Moderator Share Posted January 21, 2010 Tranmere. Last night was just weird (albeit entertainingly weird), the Tranmere game was drama on a scale I haven't seen from Villa since. That covers it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raver50032 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Blackburn because it was yesterday... I am 35, and I was at Uni for the Tranmere games. I was suicidal after listening to the latter stages of the 1st leg game on the radio and even the late goal to make it 3-1 was for me, too little too late. I watched the 2nd leg in my digs from behind a cushion. All that was missing from that day was a fast screw to calm me back down again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishCockney Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Tranmere for me. Im 37. Still the best game Ive seen at Villa Park in terms of drama and atmosphere. Last night was entertaining for sure but didnt feel like it was in the balance right until the last kick like Tranmere was. The Tranmere game would go down as the best match Ive had on the old Holte. Felt at times like it was going to take off, the atmopshere had to be sampled to be believed. What he said, same age too spookily! We always had another gear last night after it went 2-2, whereas Tranmere made feel sick all the way to the last kick/save. Would like to see the whole Tranmere game again, felt loud last night but having watched over on iplayer it doesn't come across quite as well, but still in the ground it felt like a good atmosphere. Plus we won and we're going to Wembley so who cares!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_of_Pongo_Waring Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Easily Tranmere. As has been said before, we were so close to going out so many times during that tie. It was in the balance right upto the final kick and the athmosphere was a different level. Last night was still a special game though and one I'm sure none of us will forget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 If I had watched both games, I'd probably say Tranmere as coming from behind in that way is probably be better, but I didn't, so have to go with Blackburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I was 2 when we beat Tranmere, so yeah, Blackburn it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starsailor9774 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I went to the Tranmere game and that was amazing, the tension, the noise of the crowd.... everything. I remember my mate getting up and walking to the exit, with me shouting him to "stay till the **** end you knob, and cheer the team at the end"..... he walked up the steps of the trinity i saw him disappear and then we scored and he came running back quicker than Linford Christie....

Pelle Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Couldn't watch Tranmere here in Sweden so I have to go with Blackburn though the Tranmere game seems like a really classic one. If we win the cup this year then maybe the Blackburn game will be seen as a classic too in the future. But just maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GypsyKing Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Not even close, Tranmere all the way. For as long as I live I will never forget Dalian Atkinsons mazy run into the box, in the last couple of minutes of injury time, willing him to score so we didn't have to face the potential agony of the penalty shootout. No matter- Bosnich the hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted January 22, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2010 Blackburn was great but the Tranmere game was so utterly immense it was not just a match it was a complete rollercoaster of emotions. As someone stated earler, you still felt we were in the Blackburn game even when 2-0 down, and as soon as we went 2-2 it was inevitable. Yes there were twists but they were like Welsh hills to the Himilayas of Tranmere. I turned 40 on the day we knocked 6 goals past Blackburn!
