Despite one of you Villa fans snidely suggesting, earlier in the season, that the Villains and the Baggies may swap places with the Dingles - or to give them their proper name 'The Clarets' - i will be rooting for your lot this afternoon. I have never liked Derby County, never been keen on Lampard, the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osborne is a Villa fan, as is, apparently, our future King,they do play in a shade of Claret and Blue and, most importantly, should they lift the trophy, i win £260. I placed 2 accas on Saturday on Celtic, Tranmere, Charlton and Villa; the first was outright wins in 90 mins and Tranmere let that one down, the second was all 4 to lift the trophies. So, i've been perfecting my midlands accent, i have my Claret and Blue scarf at the ready and i've said my prayers to Lady Luck. Come on you Villains :-)
Arky, as a Manc, you're hardly likely to be tipping Liverpool to win. Or Arsenal, for that matter. Don't know what you'd have done had they been playing each other :-)
I think tonight's game will be a tense, nervy affair which may need extra time or even penalties to produce a winner. So i've put some of my winnings on both teams to score and a draw @ 3/1. Just hope if Cech is playing, he remembers who is CURRENTLY paying his wages :-//
United were out of the title since November thanks to Mr Happy, as you can imagine when asked who I'd want to win it was always a tough call... but for a while Spurs had a slim chance.
