If OGS with Phelan as his number 2 can happen at one of the most famous clubs in the world. Anything is possible.
-
Sounds like you’re taking your missus so you’ve lost your chance now! Nah good to hear you sorted tickets out mate. I’ll be heading in on the tube from from the opposite direction. Should be nice and quiet.
-
I thought you were going with me!!
-
Yeh I saw this. What about Suso?
-
Personally I couldn’t care less if one of our other coaches leaves us to go become a manager elsewhere as long as it’s not our head coach that leaves.
-
Paul Berson was class!!!
-
Agree. Players with ability but just importantly the right attitude.
-
To be honest the Semi final aside the only time I have seen Derby play is at Elland Road in the league and twice against us. The second half and first half against us are probably 2 of the weakest performances I’ve seen from any team we have played this season. They were so open and fragile it’s hard to believe it’s the same team in the final. edit: saying that under Smith we were the same vs Wigan and Shef United for 80 minutes. Maybe we just managed to catch Derby on two off days?
-
This reminds me of the Leeds fans that were saying they didn’t fear either us or Albion after watching the semi finals....
-
Jacks our best player mate. Under Smith when Jack plays we normally win. Mings and Abraham have of course been very important too.
-
He was impressive defending set pieces though as he has been all season. Agree he needs to press more though.
-
Exactly ? If their stance is it’s not fair as wasn’t used in league or semi finals them how can they jusfity using it in some but not all FA cup games? It’s bullshit.
-
I can’t speak for your on loan players but Mings and Abraham are up there as 2 of the most committed players we have.
-
Not using Var for such a big game makes no sense to me.
-
I would argue you’ve been the more consistent team over the season. It was our unbelievable form from the game we beat you 3-0 that got us to 5th. But If you do a comparison in points from the time Smith took over it might paint a different picture. We really were a shambles under Bruce and even the early months under Smith he was trying to repair the defensive mess that was left behind. Anyway as you say it makes no difference going in to this last game.
-
So I very nearly managed to get club Wembley tickets but in the end it will be in the stands (long story). I think in some ways I prefer that anyway. Can relax and main thing is being there.
-
That makes sense.
-
Nice one.
-
I’m not so sure now mate. It sounds like they are club Wembley tickets being made available to Derby fans as regular seats. Maybe they are on general sale though? They probably can’t offer them publicly to villa fans for security reasons.
-
At £450 a pop I doubt they will buy them and sell them on mate. edit: ok am I misunderstanding? Are they just selling club Wembley tickets as normal tickets?
-
Guys I’m pretty sure you can get these tickets. Just say you are a derby fan. They have only advertised it as Derby tickets because it’s located in their end. They don’t care who buys them.
-
What’s stopping villa fans from buying these tickets from Wembley?
-
Was this easy enough to do?
-
I honestly believed we would win last season even though they were the better team. I thought we would scrape it. More fool me.
-
I know how you guys are feeling. It means so much but if we look back to Feb the season was over and getting to the final is now a massive bonus! I’m just hoping the nerves and pressure do not affect the players.
