roonst83 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 No it did'nt! If you were there, you probably would have run on the pitch too after that game. Villa had just got to a Wembley final for the first time in 10 years. It was a fantastic moment that I'll never forget, and that's all that matters. I couldnt give two shits about what anyone may or may not have thought. This. It was one of my favourite Villa memories running onto the pitch from the North Stand to The Holte who were all singing "Villa, Villa, Villllaaaa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan_007 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Not that I'm surprised but I was pissed with Ben Shepard on Sky last night. Completely wrote us off and said Bradford would be over the moon, Jamie and Jimmy defended us straight away. But to top it off he said Villas last appearance was in 96 vs leeds!!!! FFS!!! I know we have a had a few dodgy seasons but there's no need to just forget everything we've done! typical Sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiezels Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I live with 2 nose brothers. If we win this cup it would destroy them. It's all they have over me so taking that, aah!

Nath182 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Whilst I am really pleased with the draw, I hope that people don't get too hyped up and presume that we will be in the final already. There are still 2 games of football to win and we shouldn't underestimate Bradford at all, they can still give us a kicking if we don't play at our best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I think we should get a campaigne for the final if we get there. the "DIFS" campaign Do It For Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PussEKatt Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 We MUST get thru to the final now as long as the lads dont think that all they have to do is turn up. Lets not forget that Bradford have got to the semi-final by winning games ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ooh-Ah Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Not that I'm surprised but I was pissed with Ben Shepard on Sky last night. Completely wrote us off and said Bradford would be over the moon, Jamie and Jimmy defended us straight away. But to top it off he said Villas last appearance was in 96 vs leeds!!!! FFS!!! I know we have a had a few dodgy seasons but there's no need to just forget everything we've done! typical Sky. I think that's a little harsh. He didn't write us off, he just said it's a good draw for Bradford (which it clearly is). Presenters in that position are just desperate to find angles; the most obvious one last night was that the underdogs got a favourable draw. I, too, was annoyed that he said our last final appearance was in '96 against Leeds. But come on, you can't expect presenters of football shows whose job it is to talk about football with footballers to know anything about football. That's just crazy talk.

hogso Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Just booked flights and hotel for Bradford away, love it! Premier Inn Bradford Central is £19 a room if you book online now! **** hell, can't pass that up! One of the first things after the draw I did last night was look at Bradford hotels - I was going to plum for Jury's Inn, but £19 is too good not to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 It will be tough, but I expect to win against Bradford over two legs. They may have beat Arsenal and some other decent sides but we've had some good results too. Knocking out Man City at their place Last minute winner vs Swindon Beating the in-form Norwich I've had a feeling ever since the City win our name was on the cup this year. I just don't want people to jinx it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to wait till the 24th December and i would imagine they would all be gone by then. Hope i can get a ticket from someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggy_333 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Very disappointed with the prices for the home leg of the semi final, if i want my seat it's £39 i thought they'd be charging about £25 maximum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowandlow Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Not gonna sell out at those prices (home game I mean) Think most away tickets will be gone by Xmas eve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidp Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Come on Daniel, you seriously can't see us beating Bradford over two legs, the second one being at home as well Great draw. I was at Old Trafford and Villa Park in '71 to see Law, Best and Charlton get done by Lochhead and McMahon....it's not done 'till its done but couldn't ask for a better chance. Just not a done deal.......yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it this is a semi final and is different but it is still an away game midweek which is difficult to get back to Birmingham from without driving. I really want to go but without an ST it is probably gonna be impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grogan_Avfc Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 You will get one xmas eve, we don't have 4350 fans that attended at least 2. I expect tickets will last to around the 28/29th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
