You seemed quite surprised in the OP that it was being held there so don't go saying 'no shit' when you didn't even know. Twat.

i was surprised they chose that venue instead of somewhere better..

there is a match at wembley today, ofcourse i knew it was cause of the Olympics

Villa Park used to host FA Trophy Finals, and FA Cup semis. The FA like it.

First time ITV get it live, United aren't in it. Groce.

Don't knock Villa Park, FA Cup at Villa Park.

Don't even know what day it is, let alone what time.

Tomorrow.

Semi Finals, Villa Park and Man Utd contesting = Man Utd into the finals.

Yeah, it kinda snuck up on me as well.

The show starts at 1. Kick off is at 1:30

Villa Park is one of the best grounds around.

Doesn't feel like a year since United - City at the start of last season. Time is going so fast.

As always, a meaningless friendly if we lose, a legitimate trophy if we win.

Will any of your new signings start?

Hazard probably will. Marin is out with injury (surprise). Oscar obviously won't as he played in the Olympic final.

Good fucking times.. brings back memories. Wish it was used more often.

Marin isn't even a starter.. who cares.

Di Matteo[or w/e] was saying how Hazard will be gradually put into the first team.. so he gets comfortable with the squad and league. Not an auto-starter

Should've held it at New York Stadium instead.

Villa Park is a beautiful ground. They also have a lovely camera low camera angle from the stadium (or is that Craven Cottage? )

It's because it's in the Midlands aswell so the travelling distance for all fans is decent as its not that far away from most clubs.



It's also a quality ground

Cech; Ivanovovic, Luiz, Terry, Cole; Mikel, Lampard; Ramires, Hazard, Mata; Torres

I am a fan of that line up.

So basically you have to win the FA Cup or League title to get to this final. And its for Charity and you think it needs a venue to reflect its importance. And as others have said its only here because of the Olympics.

Pantilimon; Zabaleta, Kompany, Savic, Clichy, Milner, De Jong, Yaya Toure, Nasri, Aguero, Tevez

There is one change to the City team we tweeted a moment ago - Kolarov starts instead of Clichy, who is on the bench.

What channel's this on?

ITV1.
