Feels so weird this final Wednesday, first one I haven’t been to since 1971. Great to see all the excitement of others lucky enough to be going. To those who are going, drink it in, enjoy every moment, it will stay with you for the rest of your lives.
When you see what Emery has done this season, how they can have him not even in the top six, for manager of the year, is ridiculous. Said before about the Sky six, there attitude towards Villa stinks. Let's go on and win it UTV.

For all those old enough to remember

Remember it well, what a two days that was, an experience of a lifetime. Miffed that I can't go to Istanbul, but to the lads that are going, enjoy it, it'll be a fantastic time, remember it for the rest of your life. UTV.

It’s rare I agree with VJ but I do on this. How the hell does Michael Carrick get included in the manager of the year awards and Unai doesn’t? Which idiot or idiots came up with the candidates?

Can’t see Wrexham and the noses being very happy about it, but financial restrictions have been voted in for the Championship next season. From what I've read, the other clubs voted it in to stop teams like the noses buying the league UTV.

What a complete embarrassment that Mac Allister is. Even his own manager was telling him to get up, horrible player. He deserved a booking, but that would have meant a pen.
Got to say I’m so jealous of you lads going, let’s hope we carry on the run and win it, you can’t believe bet bet the fans will be doing their part. UTV

Is any1 even bothered about FA Cup final? I know im not the 2 biggest cheats in the league as well. Used to watch every FA Cup final with my dad back when FA Cup meant something. It's a trophy yes but u get more cash winning League Cup.
16 May 2026 13:00:25
Not me, but I can sit back and relax with a beer (1st one since Sunday) and enjoy it.
I always find it helps when Villa win on a Friday night. The weekend just has that extra something about it.
16 May 2026 09:02:10
Well it's the morning after the night before and I am walking on air.
What a performance, magnificent!
Champions League objective achieved and a European Final to look forward to.
We've had our ups and downs this season but it's already a season to remember and it could get even better.
Oh how I do love being a Villan!!
16 May 2026 08:16:31
Hi all, been a while since I've posted but I have been keeping an eye on what's being said on here. First of all I hope you're all well.
What a season this is turning out to be.
Absolutely fantastic from where we were when Unai took over. Yes, we've had some bumps in the road but that is going to happen and we as fans have to accept that. We're not City or Arsenal where we can expect to win most of the time and Europe and trophies are expected.
Enjoy the ride for what it is.
I'd rather be where we are than Spurs, considering where the 2 teams were when Unai took over.
Going forward from here with the financial restraints we have, I think we have to be savvy in the upcoming transfer window.
I think Dougie, Harvey, Jadon, Leon will go. SJM will be used more centrally. We need 2 RW's. Maatsen will deputise for both Digne and Buendia on the left with Morgan playing out there when needed, if he stays. We might move Mings on and also buy Harvey Elliott from Liverpool for less than the 35M obligation as his value has probably decreased over this season. If possible I would like a younger replacement for Ty and proper cover for Cash.
What do you all think? UTV. Astonbul here we come!

No point betting on the starting eleven for Wednesday night. The starting eleven tonight will definitely be the starting eleven in the final (subject to no injuries). Sadly we only bat to number eleven in terms of quality, however we need the squad players to step up if required. Bring it on Wednesday, tonight will hopefully frighten our opposition and lift our morale.
15 May 2026 23:42:33
Every Villa fan will remember May 2026. Two games to be remembered Forrest and Liverpool. His fabulous if Wednesday makes it three. I will never forget that I'll have been to all three. All the frustrations are diluted and at times it hasn't been an easy ride, but the end result is what it's all about. At times it's right fans can question choices.
However, there are every team except the top four in the Premier League would love to be in our position, we should be so proud as Emery said tonight how important the fans are. As the song goes "Oh What a night". Bring on Budapest. I and my Grandsons got tickets, forget the costs if will be worth every penny.

If you fancy meeting up, Scotty, for a few sherberts, I'll be landing Monday to Thursday. Let me know. I'm stopping near Taksim Square.
16 May 2026 11:19:51
Taz, our hotel is in Taksim. I understand it's by the fan zone, plenty going on there. Our flight is Tuesday, back Thursday. If you post on Wednesday where you are, I'm sure we will be in the same area. Here's to a great trip, just hope our Magnificent May Journey continues. It's almost Dreamland.
16 May 2026 13:47:19
Scit, hope you're not going to Budapest. Lol.
16 May 2026 20:21:24
SV, you know I will be there. I will send you a post card. Hope it's a great few days.
15 May 2026 23:28:56
Just how good was that, Liverpool who? Super John really is super, how good was his goal. Once again he was fantastic. That many good performances throughout the team, once again Lindeloff, Torres and Konsa brilliant. Buendia, after the first half hour, that shot of his would have been a wonder goal. Great goal Rogers, he owed us that one. Ollie has definitely played his way, onto that World Cup plane. Yet once again a worrying display by a terrible ref, he didn’t want to give us anything, was worried after Ollie got booked, Liverpool determined to get him sent off.
What on earth is wrong with Martinez, when he first came, we said at last a keeper who catches the ball, suddenly now, he pushes them all in front of him. One moan, how can you leave Van Dyke on his own twice in the box? There again, it has been pointed out that their left winger was holding onto Rogers, stopping getting to Van Dyke for their first goal.
On now to Wednesday, pressure off because of we’ve done tonight.
PS Hope JV enjoyed it 🤔🤔UTV
16 May 2026 12:14:30
Of course, I did, Dave. It was 1 of our best performances, mate. I thought the ref was shocking as well, mate. Bring on Wednesday, I'm so excited, can't wait. I think we will do it as well. Also, I have found a perfect Unai pic for my tattoo on my bum cheek haha.
