Carling Cup Final – Man Utd 2 Aston Villa 1

Written by Dan on February 28, 2010

Well, we lost. Not worth adding much more at the moment, except to say how proud I am of the team and how proud I am to be a Villa fan.  Good effort lads, there will be more trips to Wembley I’m sure.  It just wasn’t to be this time.

I suppose I’d have to admit that UtD did rattled the wood work on a couple of occasions and we didn’t really threaten the Utd goal beyond James Milner’s penalty, but a lot will be said about Phil Dowd apparently cutting the Utd players a lot more slack than the Villa players, to put it mildly  There will be a lot of discussion about whether Vidic should have stayed on the pitch and it could be argued that Utd looked infinitely better once Rooney stepped on the pitch, but we were still a little short, it has to be said.

Next time, for sure.

UTV!!
