I know there’s many of you patiently negotiating your way though the process of booking tickets for the Carling Cup Final next month. Hopefully it will be worth the effort and we now know our opponent will be Man Utd after Wayne Rooney inevitably scored the winner in injury time at Old Trafford.
So there’s a date for your diary: Sunday February 28th at Wembley Stadium. Aston Villa vs Man Utd in the Carling Cup 2010 Final.
In case you
I’m still buzzing from last night!! I haven’t had chance to write anything else about the game, but I did get my crayons out to make a wallpaper for your desktop enjoyment. The usual resolutions (1280×800, 1280×1024 & 1024×768) are available here.
This may be the last wallpaper I upload for a little while as I have a new Aston Villa Wallpaper mini-site in development and it’s a bit of extra work to publish to two places.

Aston Villa 6 Blackburn Rovers 4 (Agg. 7 – 4)
They did it!! Aston Villa have booked their first cup final appearance since the FA Cup back in 2000!!!
Villa being Villa, they didn’t do it the easy way. What drama at Villa Park tonight… who would have predicted TEN goals?? Certainly not this blogger. At least the fans at VP got their money’s worth tonight.
Villa got
OK, we’re just hours away from kicking off one of the most important games in recent memory and I have to admit to being both excited and not a little nervous.
It’s effectively half time, but we have the advantage of having the lead and the home support for the second half. We’re just 90 minutes away from booking our first trip to Wembley in a decade!!
Martin O’Neill knows all about the League Cup and I can’t imagine for a
So far so good. Aston Villa have the advantage at what is effectively half time in their Carling Cup Semi-Final tie with Blackburn Rovers after winning 1-0 at Ewood Park tonight. Blackburn really didn’t look like they have much fight in them for much of the game and we have to be cautiously optimistic that we will be booking ourselves a trip to Wembley when the final whistle is blown at Villa Park next Wednesday night. Cautiously optimistic, but
Finally, we’re going to get so see some Aston Villa today. FINALLY!! This will be a blog post which I’ll just update bits and pieces throughout the day as we head towards kick off tonight at Ewood Park. It seems like forever since we last had a game, which incidentally was Blackburn at Villa Park on January 2nd. Just in case you couldn’t remember.
One little story that’s bouncing around the Twittersphere as I write surrounds Nathan Delfouneso‘s stated
With the football schedule in the UK recently decimated by the freaky weather it feels like we haven’t seen the Villa play for ages. Whether the fact that the squad have travelled up to Blackburn and Wigan, only to have the games cancelled, will have any adverse effect when they finally get another crack at Ewood Park on Thursday remains to be seen. Obviously we hope not.
We’re assured that Man City will play their game in hand today
Today’s Carling Cup Semi-Final between Aston Villa and Blackburn at Ewood Park has been called off due to snow. I’m sure that Ewood Park probably has under-soil heating, but Police were advising people not to travel in the region unless they really had to. When that’s the case, unfortunately the game has to be postponed.
The 2nd leg, to be played at Villa Park, is scheduled for Wednesday 20th January. Next week looks clear so this game may well
The draw for the Carling Cup semi-finals has just been made and Aston Villa have been drawn against the winner from the Blackburn vs Chelsea game. That game was a 2-2 stalemate after full time, but Blackburn are currently 3-2 up in extra time. [Update] Chelsea equalised in the final minute of extra time, but Blackburn won a dramatic penalty shoot out to set up the Semi-Final against Villa.
I believe Villa will play the second leg at Villa Park
