Villa on to the final four!

It was exciting to be able to listen to the live commentary of today’s match thanks to the generosity of AVFC (normally this service requires that you have a subscription). I could only listen to ¾ of the match because of work commitments, but t he audio commentary by Jack Woodward and Andy Blair was magnificent! JW even referenced m e a couple of times during the broadcast as I contributed to the live chat unfolding on AV Live (live text description of the action and live input from others around the world following the match in real time. I think an AVTV subscription may be in my future!

Villa beat Pompey 4-2 on goals from Emile Heskey (12’), James Milner (27’), Stewart Downing (74’), and Ashley Young (88’). Now it is on to the semi-finals of the Carling Cup. UP THE VILLA!

Coverage of Carling Cup Quarter-Finals between Villa and Portsmouth

I am trying to nail down what is available for tomorrow's Carling Cup match. AVTV is offering live audio coverage for free (Jack Woodward). Go to http://www.avfc.co.uk/ for details. So far, it appears there is no US tv coverage. I am going to check around for any online streaming sources.

Draw with Tottenham

A win today would have moved Villa into the "top 4", but Tottenham got the equalizer in the 77'. Emile Heskey almost scored the goal of the year with his header - from his knees and facing away from the goal. It would have been a dream ending... but instead Villa only got 1 point at the end of the day.
