It's a sad situation when you're wanting a rival to not win another piece of silverware because your own team have not won anything for nigh of 5 seasons
I think it's more the majority hate Man U
And everyone wants an underdog to win

With the state of Utd's defence (with Ferdinand no where near match fit and Vidic hasnt played for 2 months) the "underdog" isnt necessarily AV, and little to no choice regarding experience at right back either
.... but they haven't beaten us this season..
The biggest reason why Utd will beat AV in the final
Make up your mind
You think Man U can potentially be the underdogs but say they will beat AV...betting odds arent the only thing that make one side an underdog imo (ie in certain circumstances people all bet for the underdog - which then in betting terms make them a dead cert)
It's been a long time since a team retained the league cup, that's why I'm worried
Very good point

Indeed, it's quite obvious Villa are going to have the game of their season, as it's pretty much their biggest game of the season and the only chance of winning silverware.
No, but it's generally a good guide. Doesn't take a genius to work out you're the favourites, however pessimistic you wish to be about it.
FA Cup? I know Chelsea are still in it, but if we beat Palace we've then got Reading or West Brom. Not an easy draw as such, but there are more difficult ties in the competition than that. Win both of those and we're in the semi's..

Ah ok, change that to best chance of winning silverware then.
I am a boob. That is all.

Your a bit eager with this thread arent you? haha. I hope we play our kids
Could do, lets face it, we've already won the important tie in this competition
I think your over-confidence in Rooney will be your un-dooing
Agbonlahor and Milner will carve up your defence
This has now been fueled by your 3-1 defeat at Goodison Park
maybe not fully match fit but both Rio and Vidic should be able to start in the final could totally change that view
Utd were deservedly beaten today but also obviously off colour too (to be fair in the last few years we have never played that well at GP - and Rooney usually has an off day too)
Are the tickets on sale for non season ticket holders? Tried to look yesterday but got errors on the tickets page on avfc

Villa can confirm the remaining Carling Cup final tickets are on sale to supporters with a six home game booking history - any six home matches already played in 2009-10 - ON PHONE ONLY.
Supporters who DO NOT HAVE a six home game booking history are strongly advised and politely requested not to contact the Ticket Office.
We also advise fans NOT to come to Villa Park to buy cup final tickets.
We would like to thank supporters for their co-operation.
So I'm never going to get to see my team play at Wembley then.
