Villa Lose The Final

Things That Make You F*cking Angry About Losing A Final

Empty seats in the "Freeloading" sections of Wembley. I've been to the arse-end of Europe supporting Aston Villa but because I don't have a Season Ticket now I have zero chance of getting to a game like this. Yet empty red seats adorned a Final I'd have loved to have been at.

Not only were there seats empty for the entire game, but hundreds were empty for up to 10 minutes of the second half as people meandered back to a game that clearly meant very little to them. I know of a Spurs fan who went along as his company gave him "a jolly up".

The FA make me fucking sick - and they've been doing it for as long as I've been going. Nearly 30,000 seats in that Stadium belonged to people that didn't deserve them - there should be a equal split of the full stadium for the teams - but of course, that will never happen.

Then you have a "bottle-job" like Phil Dowd - as baltant a sending off as you can get, but because it's Man Utd and because it's only a few minutes in he doesn't even book him! Wanker.

I think we've played alright today and gave a good account of ourselves. Maybe the service could have been better (esp from Cuellar) but it was certainly better than the pitiful effort 10 years ago at Wembley that's for sure. I stopped watching as soon as the whistle went so I haven't heard what's been said afterwards.

I still think Utd are a one-man team up front - without Rooney they have very little, although if we were without Gabby we'd be well and truly fucked too!

Up The Villa.

UFC 110 - Bisping Loses to Silva In Australia

This was a big one for Michael Bisping, coming off a good win but needing to cement his position in the 185 standings. It didn't happen - it was very close - what annoyed me more was how all those judges saw Wanderlei Silva win the first round despite getting taken to the floor several times.

The second round was close with Bisping getting a takedown and Silva going straight to an arm-in guillotine - the bell coming at a handy time for our boy! The Aussie crowd were giving Bisping loads of stick, probably still frustrated by the fact their cricket team had lost the Ashes to England again.

The third round is even again and with 30 seconds left I'm just hoping Bisping will take him down and see out the round. At the 10-second warning, Silva lands a right hook that drops Bisping to the ground. Silva swarms, but runs out of time and Bisping is saved by the bell.

The main bout was Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira & Cain Velasquez with the latter winning by TKO in the first round.



Both Anthony Perosh and Stephan Bonnar spilt loads of blood for the cause - both fighters continued until they were told to stop.
