Villa 0 Chelsea 3 – The Verdict

There’s no point me telling you what happened in yesterdays game as Im sure if you haven’t watched the game, then you would of read about it elsewhere by now.

Apart from the Police, the result and maybe possibly the referee I had another fantastic day out at Wembley and was proud to be one of the 32,400 Aston Villa fans there on the day.

In the end we ran out of steam and you can’t do this against teams like Chelsea, as they proved a few weeks ago at Stamford Bridge.

Never the less, I am proud of the lads for getting to Wembley twice in one season, I’m proud at them for how they really gave it a go yesterday and maybe, just maybe If a few decisions went our way we could of been going back for a third time.

Now we must learn from our experience’s and build on this for the rest of the season, and then next and I have a feeling despite this loss hurting the players we will learn a great deal from them.

Apart from the game yesterday I will have a moan about the local forces on patrol yesterday evening after the game. Especially in and around the Green Man Hotel. These are the people we pay our taxes to protect us and there behaviour yesterday was a absolutely disgrace.

They caused trouble amongst local people and Aston Villa fans when neither were doing anything wrong apart from waiting to get back to there homes or back on there coaches.

They say football hooliganism is going away? To be honest I don’t think the Police want this to happen.

Ashley Young, Randy Lerner and Wembley!

Villa have finally sold out there allocation for tomorrows fixture at Wembley.

Much as been made of this, however i put it down to the way the tickets have been sold. The ticket office sell them in certain allocations and although it worked well for the final, it didnt work as well for the Semi Final because there simply wasnt enough time to allow it to happen this way.

Never the less, we will be there tomorrow and one thing is for sure, I can’t see us losing by seven this time – well I hope not anyway.

So i will be heading for Wembley on the train, first thing in the morning, so Im not sure when I will next update the blog but lets all take a glass and raise it wishing all the lads all the luck in the world tomorrow.

Ashley Young

Apparently Ashley Young is wanted by… wait for it… non other than European champions Barcelona. Any truth in this? I can’t see it to be honest. Although he might of hit a bit of form of late, he’s nowhere near in the quality for Barcelona so I wouldn’t take much notice to this story.

Randy Lerner

Randy Lerner has been speaking to The Independent as has stated that despite what fans think he does have a long term plan to make Aston Villa a very successful football club and business.

However, he did state though, as a football fan of Aston Villa he wants instant success.

It’s not very often we get to hear from the owner but its nice to see him come out and talk about the club. Puts a few rumours to bed to. So here is to a long successful future under the American.

3 days till Wembley.. Prayer Time

There isnt a lot to talk about when it comes to Villa at the moment. The Robbie Keane rumour keeps popping up every known and again and another pundit backs Chelsea the weekend and writes Villa off.

Fact is we dont want to talk about the downfalls and actually get behind the lads as the Villa faithful invade Wembley for the second time this season.

Jonathon Fear at Vital Villa has come up with a prayer for this weekends game, and i think its only right that we join him with the prayer:

Our father who are at Wembley
Hallowed be this turf
May Randy’s kingdom come
May O’Neils will be done
On the pitch as well as in the dressing room
Give us that day our rightful win
And lead us not into dreariness
Forgive us our doubts
as we forgive those that doubt us
And let Wembley become our home
as we return in power and glory

Amen

Villa are going to Wembley, Blues ent!

There isn’t a lot to talk about today so I thought I would take this moment to talk about the bitterness that is coming from across the City.

I’m sure we have all had a bluenose come up to us and laugh about what happened in the Carling Cup Final – they couldn’t accept that Nemanja Vidic should of sore red, it was all purely because we was rubbish.

Well what goes around comes around. Birmingham failed to progress to the Semi Final of the FA Cup in a game, if we are all honest, they were expected to win.

The excuse’s come and fell on death ears, very much the same way our excuses did on the Monday morning after the cup final. But what really made me laugh was where Villa fans said by having Vidic sent off, it wouldn’t mean victory, but a good chance. Birmingham fans seem to believe that Ridgewell’s goal that never was should of counted – which I do agree with – but then they would of gone on to win the game? Come on!

Just remember Birmingham you are where you belong, still the second team in the Midlands, and still jealous and bitter by the fact that Villa is going to Wembley for the second time this season.

And yes there’s a possibility that we could lose, just like we could win – but at least we are there and no matter what excuse you come up with, you know deep down that you wish Birmingham were there to!

So, Wemberleeee, Wemberleeee, it’s the famous part of London that the Blues will never see!
