Well done Villa - it'll be nice to see a different team than the usual suspects in the Cup Final this year.

Do feel sorry for Steven Gerrard though - a fine player and an ambassador for his club. I find it rather pitiful the amount of spiteful malice directed at him on NSC - he's like Liverpool's own Calde, with the added plus of being a local boy. Wish we had a Steven Gerrard on OUR books!

No spite from me - just glad that the media won't be having their planned field day. It would have been dreadful if Liverpool had made the final as the media would have acted as if there had never been an FA Cup before this year and would have spouted crap along the lines of retiring the trophy along with Gerard. Pity for him he didn't jack it in last season as this season has seen a decline in his standards.

I think you're getting the FA cup final confused with the top of the Premier League.

Yeh, maybe you're right. I just seem to have memories of loads of finals involving two out of Liverpool, Arsenal and ManU in various combinations. Perhaps I've just been living too long ..............

Glad we didn't hire that clown, he's rubbish according to most on NSC

He was never going to come here regardless..

Sherwood's done a fantastic job. Proper football.

Yet some recoiled in horror when I started a thread about him possibly being our manager.

Not me, I thought he got Spurs playing some great football.

This.

Having lived in Liverpool for 14 years, I have mixed feelings for good friends who will be disappointed. However, the media were cringeworthy in their coverage regarding Gerard.

Spot on. Look at how they just kind of glossed over the stamp on Herrera but crucified Costa for his on Can. The amount of brown-nosing for Gerrard has been sickening, it really has...

Most of us loved his part in the Liverpool comeback against AC Milan the Champs Final but struggle to think of many stella England performances.

Unfortunately the FA Cup is little more than a sideshow these days, granted Sherwood has done well to get them to the final, but survival in the Premier League is the all and be all, and if Villa can manage that this season, then yes maybe Sherwood was the man for the job.

Tim Sherwood has admitted he was an Arsenal fan as a kid and his dad still goes to all Arsenal's home games.

Not bothered whether or not Liverpool made the final but I cannot STAND Villa or their shithouse fans and their turd of a city so no laughing from me.

Always thought Villa were fairly inoffensive meself. Great stadium, decent fanbase. I wouldn't want to live in Birmingham, but there's plenty of other gruesome hovels up and down the country housing football clubs who I couldn't muster the energy to despise just because of it being located in a shithole.

I'd like Villa to go on and win it now, but that's only because of Piers Morgan.
