Will Andy Reid gat back in the squad? I doubt it.
same reason italy played brazil at the emirates
Sid Waddell is some mong!!!
Youâre right there!
Should be a good session, anyone else heading over
Thinking about going over alright sledge, flights were cheap enough when i checked the other day.
Yeah dirt cheap into pretty much everywhere, Birmingham in particular is only something like 30 quid. I wonder are there many decent spots for a night out on Tuesday and Wednesday nights though
The league cup final is on the Sunday before it so I was thinking of heading over the Saturday(If Villa progress), the brother lives in London so accomadation would be covered aswell.

Ah come on Sledge, itâs London for fox ache.
Ah I know but itâs a short train ride away, and some of the best sessions of away trips end up being the train leg. Bag of cans and an iPod with portable speakersâŚthat said, it is England
Do you think there would be many irish fans there? There was a shit crowd for the games in craven cottage.
