I am dreading the semi. And if we somehow scrape a win then I'll be dreading the final. We are shit at this moment in time.

Im expecting to see the fans there in full force. :oops:

Are banners now banned at Wemberlee? Both AFC and the Chavs left flags to wave in the Community shield so maybe not banned? Really miss the old days of loads of hand made banners. Weve got our Willie (Young :wink: ) :barscarf: Perhaps you cant hold a banner as well as a selfie stick :?

Yep. Me too. I might have managed some ounce of excitement if the game wasn't at Wembley because I fucking hate the semis being played there. Part of the fun of semi finals was finding out which grounds were going to be holding the games and which end we were going to be given. The FA are fucking greedy mugs and these days there are so many big capacity grounds which could hold semi finals that it makes playing them at Wembley pointless. Anyway, lose to Man City and avoid having to play either of the other two because that would just be painful.

The thought of going barely crossed my mind.

Having the semi-finals at Wembley is a joke. It's all fine and well crowing about how more fans get to go there, but the fact that a third of those then can't get tickets for the final because the FA gives tens of thousands of tickets to corporate partners makes a mockery of that.

I'm all for going back to neutral venues. The shame is that there aren't any decent grounds in the midlands because Villa Park isn't up to hosting a game like this.
